EmergencyAccess
Have a short-distance contingency plan to reach staffed businesses or public safety personnel in case you cannot place a 911 cellphone call.
A recent brief issue interfered with cellphone 911 call connectivity and was resolved around 4pm; having fallback options reduces risk if similar issues recur.

RoutePlanning
Avoid attempting to cross or use the Bay Bridge area during large unsanctioned group events and follow police instructions if you encounter gatherings on ramps.
