    Close enough to take needed precautions.
    For example, when I turned in and would not notice when the machine stopped running.
    Hell, if you are THAT dependant that you will croak in minutes, these precautions are rather simple.

    No. He packs his machine and heads somewhere safe.

    No excuse, he didn't ask for the power to be shut off. He died because liberals in California cared more about spotted owls than humans.

    Never said he was bad, just pinning the responsibility where it belongs.

    According to PG&E they were shutting off power because they *supposedly* lost $30 billion due to the wildfires, and had to file for bankruptcy.

    I have a friend who's on oxygen, 24/7.

    A few months ago, his tanks weren't delivered; because their only delivery guy was out, unexpectedly.

    He had to use his portable machine; but it doesn't provide the same continual pressure, so he had to severely limit his activities for around 4 days.

    He really needs to consider a better supplier. Four days is absurd. As is one guy.
    But...
    He had a backup plan. Emphasis on plan.

    The only supplier, under his insurance.

    He's married; so if needed, they would have gone to the ER.

    I don't think the guy who died, was married; plus my friend doesn't have to worry about a forest fire.

    Your friend may want to consider making his insurance carrier aware of this situation. They may prefer to save a buck when they can but when their contracted service cant service it puts them at risk of legal action and they are risk averse in those cases.
