Subject: Urgent Request for Collaborative Action on Power Redundancy in Curry and Del Norte Counties

Dear Mr. Simpson,

I am reaching out to bring to your attention an extremely urgent matter concerning the residents of Curry and Del Norte counties. The recent catastrophic events have underscored the critical need for a more robust power redundancy system that can safeguard our communities during emergencies.

In light of the recent devastation caused by the Smith River Complex Fire and the subsequent power outages that lasted over a week, I would like to highlight the pivotal role that Bonneville Power Administration can play in fostering collaborative efforts to establish power redundancy lines between the two counties.

The proposed course of action involves:

1) Leading discussions to establish a consensus on the urgent necessity of redundant power lines.
2) Collaborating to navigate and mitigate existing regulatory hurdles between Oregon and California.
3) Initiating and overseeing necessary planning and design work to interconnect power infrastructures.
4) Addressing and rectifying voltage compatibility issues across the state line.
5) Mobilizing resources to secure financial support for constructing a new transmission line.

I sincerely hope that under your leadership, BPA can expedite these initiatives and work hand in hand with other stakeholders to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities. Your immediate attention and action in this matter could prevent further distress and financial strain in our economically vulnerable regions.

Thank you for considering this urgent request. I look forward to your proactive steps to secure our communities' future against potential power crises.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
