    Not whoever answers the phone.
    The guy who is paid to mitigate legal risk. Minimally a VP.

    He did talk to more then just whoever answered the phone.

    The company has one delivery guy and my friend is the farthest one they deliver to.

    It's the only one his insurance is contracted with.

    Are they supposed to have an standby delivery guy, inside a "Break for Emergency" glass case.

    The insurance company controls who they contract with and apparently are quite aware of the situation; because when he called them, he was told that this company has the contract for the area he's in.

    Yes and that was very much to do with decades of neglect and misplaced concern for birds like the spotted owl. I am not saying that PG&E are entirely blameless but the clowns that run California are more so, they paid far too much lip service to eco-zealots.

    I don't deal with them, so I'm not sure; but the situation I presented was a last minute emergency on a Friday, at least that's what my friend told me.

    We seem to have gotten off track; because this was initially about the man who died and we don't know if he lived alone or had anyway to leave.

    True.
    Cali guy HAD a backup tank and did not use it despite being very much O2 dependant and warned he could lose power at any time.
    Thats on him, no one else.

    Because if you are asleep when the power is lost:
    A-you may just sleep through it
    B-if you do happen to notice and in time, you will fumble around and have a fucking heart attack because you are not thinking well being O2 depleated.
    In this instance option B. Not enough O2 leaves you confused and addled. Oddly enough, too much does the same thing.
