Background: Mountain Lion Sightings of Spring 2004 (Palo Alto, CA)

On 17 May 2004, a mountain lion was discovered deep in Palo Alto and subsequently killed (Press Release from Palo Alto Police Dept). The failure of the PAPD to provide timely notification of residents in the affected area produced considerable outcry. The faulty performance of the Teleminder alerting system after a similar mountain lion sighting on 6 June 2004 (above) provided additional impetus for this initiative.
