Public Safety Power Shutdown (PSPS)

PG&E is implementing aggressive measures to reduce the risk of wildfires caused or exacerbated by commercial power equipment failures. These measures, known as Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), may lead to temporary power outages across California. These power losses could last anywhere from 3 to 7 days or more, depending on the circumstances that trigger them.

It is essential for everyone in the state to prepare for and understand how to respond to potential PSPS events.

How to Prepare:

  • Stay Informed: For more information about PSPS events, visit Prepare for Power Down.
  • Sign Up for Alerts:
    • If you are the PG&E account holder, please visit PG&E's website to sign up for alerts.
    • If you are not the account holder, you can still sign up for alerts using your ZIP code on PG&E's website.

Being proactive can help you and your family stay safe during potential power shutoffs.
