WE THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING... Why does my power suddenly shut off? The California wildfire threat is real and growing. One of the ways Southern California Edison (SCE) is reducing wildfire risks is Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). During these events, they may need to proactively shut off power because of elevated weather conditions — such as strong winds, high temperatures and dry vegetation — that can cause a power line to fall and spark, possibly creating a wildfire. Who is impacted? PSPS events are temporary and meant to keep you and your community safe. Customers who live in high fire risk areas, as defined by the California Public Utilities Commission, are more likely to experience a PSPS. However, customers who do not live in these high fire risk areas may also be impacted because of how the electrical grid is interconnected. When do these events happen? SCE intends to notify affected customers approximately two days before a potential power shutoff. This notification will be via email, text, or phone call. They may also send another notice to customers about one day before a potential power shutoff. They will keep customers updated regularly on their website and social media channels. They will also notify affected customers when power has been restored. LEARN MORE! Californians need to be prepared with a plan and have an emergency kit.
