Full Notification

Current status: PG&E expects to begin turning off power in Mill Valley early Wednesday, just after midnight. The power will be turned off to communities in stages, depending on local timing of the severe wind conditions, beginning with counties in the northern part of the state.

PG&E estimates that approximately 4,000 customers in Mill Valley are located in regions likely to experience a power shutdown.

The company has been notifying potentially impacted customers and will continue to do so, via automated calls, texts and emails. However, customers not impacted by the PSPS may experience power outages due to PG&E equipment damaged during this major wind event; those customers will not be notified in advance.

It is very possible that customers may be affected by a power shutoff even though they are not experiencing extreme weather conditions in their specific location. This is because the electric system relies on power lines working together to provide electricity across cities, counties and regions.

The City of Mill Valley has developed an PSPS Plan and Playbook and put it into motion. Click here for more information.

• Please visit the "PG&E Weather Awareness" webpage which provides a daily forecast for the next seven days within nine geographic zones. Mill Valley and Marin County are in geographic zone 3. On this page, PG&E shares their prediction for the potential for the shutoffs and ranks them four categories. This page has been up and down all day due to their servers being over-used.
• Please also visit the "Potential PSPS Outage Maps" to look up areas that may be impacted by a PSPS.
• The City Council reviewed the City's plans and preparations for the Public Safety Power Shutoff at their City Council meeting on Monday, September 16. Read the Staff Report and City of Mill Valley Draft Plan and Playbook. 
• The City Council also adopted an Urgency Ordinaince amending the City's Municipal Code to regulate the use of generators during prolonged power outages. Learn more.
