A Public Safety Power Shut Off, also called a PSPS, may occur in response to severe fire weather conditions. Utility providers may shut off power to help prevent wildfire situations. Multiple factors are at play when deciding to shut off power to communities – the first priority is community safety. There may be some warning or no notice when power is shut off in response to wildfire risk conditions. For resources and information on preparing for PSPS visit your local utility providers. Not all areas of involved Counties or Cities will be affected by a PSPS, so it is important to check with your power provider to find out if you are in a designated area that is considered at high risk for wildfires.
