It s no secret that California is experiencing an energy crisis. You ve probably read about the rolling blackouts throughout the state and wonder how they might affect Symposium. Residents are given advance notice of the blackouts, usually 24 or more hours.
Blackouts can last up to two hours and are conducted during daytime hours.
The San Francisco Airport will not be affected by any power outages. The Hilton is located in a hospital grid. This means that it is very unlikely to be affected by the blackouts. The Hilton has a general emergency plan in place that includes a PA announcement of the situation and a command station set up. Managers will run the elevators, distribute glow sticks, keep guests on property for safety and provide door control.
