February 16, 2021 — The following was released by the Pacific Fishery Management Council:

Due to the recent snow and ice storms that have passed through the Portland area, power outages have affected much of the metro area including where the servers that host our website are located.

We are aware of the site being down but at this point are waiting for PGE to restore service. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and remind everyone that our Briefing book materials can also be accessed via our Dropbox subscription.

If you haven’t already signed up to our Dropbox subscription, please email either Kris Kleinschmidt (kris.kleinschmidt@noaa.gov) or Sandra Krause (sandra.krause@noaa.gov) with the email address you have associated with your Dropbox account and we will add you to the list. If you do not already have a Dropbox account, you can sign up for a free account here.

Thank you, and we hope to have everything restored as soon as possible.
