Full Notification

There has been a lot of recent attention to the PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff Program, due to the recent Red Flag Warning throughout much of Northern California. PG&E is currently considering shutting off power to some areas in counties including Lake County to reduce the risk of wildfires occurring. A press release from PG&E discussing this potential shutoff as well as locations where they might occur can be found here: https://www.pgecurrents.com/2018/10/13/pge-may-proactively-turn-off-power-for-safety-in-portions-of-12-counties/ 

PG&E customers are urged to ensure that their contact information is correct so that they may be notified by PG&E of future Public Safety Shutoff events at https://www.pge.com/en_US/safety/emergency-preparedness/natural-disaster/wildfires/public-safety-power-shutoff-notifications.page?WT.pgeac=Wildfire_Community-PSPS. PG&E should notify customers prior to such events occurring. For more information regarding PG&E's Community Wildfire Safety Program and Public Safety Shutoff please contact PG&E directly. Lake County or Sheriff's OES do not have any control over PG&E's Public Safety Shutoff Program.

Lake County Sheriff's OES urges all organizations, businesses, and residents to be prepared for future shutoffs and power outages including those that may be caused by upcoming storms this winter.
