Public Safety Power Shutoff Outreach
High winds can cause trees or debris to damage electric lines and cause wildfires. As a result, your electric utility company may need to turn off power during severe weather. This is called a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). PSPS events are one of the ways better ensure the safety of the public.
Through a collaborative partnership of the California 211 Network and Investor-Owned Utility, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), and Southern California Edison (SCE) seek to support customers with an Access or Functional Need (AFN) by connecting them to resources, programs, and local support systems.
