PG&E Tips for Surviving a Public Safety Power Shutoff

PSPS Business Impact Survey
This is a survey for local businesses regarding impacts related to series of PSPS outages these past several months.  The survey was put together by LEDAC and the information gathered will be supplied to the working group established jointly by the City of Lakeport, City of Clearlake and County of Lake whom are gathering information to share with the CPUC.  If your business was impacted by the Public Safety Power Shutoffs, please take this survey.

October 30, 2019 Advisory
PG&E reports power to the City of Lakeport is expected to be restored by this evening. As to what time this evening, they can't provide that "level of granularity". This is also contingent on not encountering significant damage.

October 30, 2019 Update
PG&E issued the "All Clear" for the Lakeport area at 5:22 am. PG&E will now begin the inspection phase of electrical transmission and supply lines as part of their work to restore normal power. PG&E field technicians and inspectors will be working diligently to get their work completed. There is no word as to when the energization is to begin, nor any clear indication when that will be completed. Please remain prepared, accordingly.


October 28, 2019 Update
PG&E has advised of a new possible PSPS event in our area starting on the morning of October 29th.  Information is limited at this point but be prepared for it.  See below.
Northern Operative Predictive Services Issued High Risk of Significant Fires in Area Covering PG&E Service Area; PG&E's Emergency Operations Center Continues to Be Open and Is Monitoring the Situation; Some Customers May Experience Continuous Outages; PG&E Community Resource Centers in Key Areas to Remain Open

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) announced today that its meteorological and operations teams in its Emergency Operations Center continue to monitor a new, potentially widespread, strong and dry wind event forecasted for Tuesday morning through midday Wednesday for Northern California. The weather system is forecast to impact Kern County late Tuesday night through Thursday morning.

Potential Tuesday/Wednesday Public Safety Power Shutoff
The event will impact approximately 32 counties across the Northern and Southern Sierra, North Bay, Bay Area and Santa Cruz mountains, North Coast and Kern County. This weather event is a separate system from the one that triggered the October 26 Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event that is still active. This is the third consecutive significant wind event in a week's time.

In response to this anticipated event, Northern Operative Predictive Services has issued a high risk of significant fires for a geographical footprint that covers much of PG&E's service area. The National Interagency Fire Center's Geographic Area Coordination Center is also forecasting significant fire potential across Northern California beginning on Tuesday of this week.

Potential Impact
Due to the forecasted extreme weather conditions, PG&E is considering proactively turning off power for safety. Portions of counties that may be impacted include, but are not limited to: Alameda, Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Glenn, Humboldt, Kern, Lake, Marin, Mariposa, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Sierra, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Tehama, Trinity, Tuolumne, Yolo, Yuba.

It is important to know that while customers in portions of these counties may be impacted by PSPS, all customers need to be prepared for potential outages due to equipment damage, hazards and continuously evolving weather.

Potential PSPS Timing
The period of weather risk starts Tuesday and continues through Thursday morning. The dry, windy weather pattern is expected to reach from the northern portions of PG&E's service territory and down through the Sacramento Valley, before spreading into the central areas of the state, including the Bay Area.

PG&E will make every effort to restore power to as many customers as possible who are currently out of power due to the Oct. 26 PSPS event. However, due to the dynamic and changing weather conditions, and high fire risk, some customers who are currently out of power may remain out throughout the duration of the next potential PSPS event.

For those customers able to have their power restored between events, PG&E urges them to use the opportunity to charge any medical equipment, phones and other electronic devices and restock emergency kits.

Some customers may continue to be impacted by the PSPS event, while others may experience power outages due to weather damage to the electric system.

PG&E will continue to monitor weather conditions and will be providing additional information regarding affected areas.

PG&E Community Resource Centers
PG&E will provide Community Resource Centers in key areas that may have continuing impacts due to the Oct. 26 PSPS event and the potential new event. View the current list.

How Customers Can Prepare
As part of PSPS preparedness efforts, PG&E is asking customers to:

  • Update their contact information at pge.com/mywildfirealerts or by calling 1-866-743-6589. PG&E will use this information to alert customers through automated calls, texts, and emails, when possible, prior to, and during, a PSPS.
  • Plan for medical needs like medications that require refrigeration or devices that need power.
  • Identify backup charging methods for phones and keep hard copies of emergency numbers.
  • Build or restock your emergency kit with flashlights, fresh batteries, first aid supplies and cash.
  • Keep in mind family members who are elderly, younger children and pets. Information and tips including a safety plan checklist are available at pge.com/wildfiresafety.
  • Learn more about wildfire risk and what to do before, during and after an emergency to keep your family safe at PG&E's Safety Action Center.

While customers in high fire-threat areas are more likely to be affected by a Public Safety Power Shutoff event, any of PG&E's more than 5 million electric customers could have their power shut off because the energy system relies on power lines working together to provide electricity across cities, counties and regions.

Generator Safety
Backup electric generators can be a part of any preparedness plan, but they can also pose unique safety hazards.

It's important to understand how to safely operate your generator before an emergency occurs. This means doing regular safety checks and being sure you have enough fuel to last a few days. If you don't understand how to use your generator, you risk damaging your property, endangering your life and endangering the lives of others.

Position your generator where its exhaust can vent safely to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal. Never run a portable generator in the garage or in the rain, and never store generator fuel in the house.

 PG&E Safety Alert: Weather Conditions may require a Public Safety Power Shutoff (Notification on October 27)
We are monitoring a new weather system that is forecasting gusty winds and dry conditions, combined with a heightened fire risk, which is forecasted in the next 48 hours in portions of your county.
If these conditions persist, PG&E may need to turn off power to local customers for safety. This is a separate weather system from the current event. Outages could last for multiple days.

See their press release regarding this event: https://www.pge.com/en/about/newsroom/newsdetails/index.page?title=20191027_pge_is_monitoring_a_third_consecutive_severe_wind_event_for_tuesday_and_wednesday_that_could_impact_nearly_32_counties_across_northern_and_central_california

October 27, 2019 Update

We are continuing to monitor the current Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event and weather conditions. We have been experiencing windy conditions today.

The wind and fire danger conditions are expected to continue into tomorrow morning, Monday, October 28th. At this point it is anticipated that we could get an “all clear” from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) tomorrow morning. This does not mean that the power would be back on then but rather PG&E would start checking lines at that point. This process can take several hours or days.

Today we have also received information from both PG&E and the National Weather Service (NWS) of another possible wind event with high fire danger for this coming Tuesday and Wednesday.  At this point that possible event is not expected to be as strong as the current event and it is unknown if it would cause another PSPS but we are advising people to be prepared for additional possible continued power outages in the form of more PSPS events or lines damaged due to wind damage. 

Lakeport Public Works (LPW), the police department (PD) and city emergency operations staff continue to monitor the situation and working to maintain all city infrastructure. The PD continues to have additional staff working to patrol and protect our neighborhoods and business districts.

Additionally, we continue to work in cooperation with the Lakeport Fire Protection District. They also continue to have increased staffing during this event and are prepared to handle any emergency fire situations.

For this current power outage, one of the PG&E COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER TENTS is located in the Konocti Vista Casino's parking lot (go left after pulling in the driveways and it is the white tent), at 2755 Mission Rancheria Rd., Lakeport CA 95453. The center will have restrooms, bottled water, electronic-device charging and air-conditioned/heated seating for up to 100 will be available at the facilities.

Please keep yourself and your family prepared for PSPS events. Please be careful with any activities that could cause fires. Report all suspicious activity to police.

Please be patient and respectful with PG&E employees who are out in the community working hard to keep the power system safe.

Knowledge is power! Learning about the Public Safety Power Shutoff program and creating a Personal Safety Plan will help you be prepared! 
 

We have a fantastic 3-minute video that highlights the PSPS program and answers a lot of the questions that PG&E receives during community meetings/presentations – here is the link that will cover the following:

  • What is a PSPS – from A-Z?
  • What are the factors that trigger a PSPS?
  • What we can do to prepare for a potential PSPS?
  • How will you notify our neighborhoods if a PSPS is called?
Here is a link to the Public Safety Power Shut-off Statewide Fact Sheet
 
How can people in our Community receive notifications of a PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff if they are not a PG&E Customer?

People can now receive those notifications by zip code, by calling 1-877-900-0743 to enroll. Anyone may sign up to receive notifications directly from PF&E about a Public Safety power Shutoff (PSPS). For more information on this please check out their webpage "Zip Code Alerts - for Non-Account Users"


PLEASE NOTE:
 If you are a PG&E account holder and want to receive shutoff alerts specific to YOUR service address, sign in to your account or call 1-866-743-6589 to update your contact information, instead of using this service.

Be Prepared for Extended Power
PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs – Will you have water & sewer services?

While preparing for the PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs) (PSPS), many have asked if they will have municipal water service when the power grid is shut down. The answer is YES: the City of Lakeport's water system will remain operational as we will utilize diesel-powered generators to maintain water supply and distribution.

We will ask customers to minimize water use as much as possible during a PSPS. This will allow the water system to maintain storage levels for continued water service and provide fire suppression capabilities if needed.

Reducing water use will also minimize the load on the sewer lift stations throughout the City and help avoid sewer spills. The City of Lakeport sewer system includes 8 lift stations that will also rely on diesel-powered generators during PSPS events.

The power outages will be inconvenient to most and place a real hardship on others. Advance thought and preparation will make the situation much more bearable.

Please contact the Lakeport Public Works Department if you have any questions or concerns about the provision of water and sewer services in Lakeport.

TIPS
Extended power outages associated with PSPS events may impact the whole community.  Take an inventory now of the items you need that rely on electricity.

There is information available for Small Businesses as well!

Plan for batteries and other alternatives to meet your needs when the power goes out.

Talk to your medical provider about a power outage plan for medical devices powered by electricity and refrigerated medicines. Find out how long medication can be stored at higher temperatures and get specific guidance for any medications that are critical for life.

Sign up for local alerts and warning systems. Monitor local weather reports.

Keep mobile phones and other electric equipment charged and gas tanks full.

Store at least one Emergency Contact under the name "In Case of Emergency" or "ICE" for all cell phones and devices. This will help someone identify your emergency contact if needed. Enter household and emergency contact information into all household members' phones or devices. 

Create a Group list on all mobile phones and devices of the people you would need to communicate with if there was an emergency or disaster. Ensure that they know how to text if they have a mobile phone or device.

Review your supplies that are available in case of no power. Have flashlights with extra batteries for every household member. Have enough nonperishable food and water.

Install Carbon Monoxide detectors with battery backup in central locations on every level of your home.

Use a thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer so that you can know the temperature when the power is restored.

Be Prepared for a Wildfire

If you are under a Wildfire Warning - get to safety right away!

Sign up for Lakeport's emergency notification system.

Know your community's evacuation routes and find several ways to leave the area. Drive the evacuation routes and find shelter locations. Have a plan for pets and livestock.

Keep important documents in a fireproof safe. Create password-protected digital copies.

Gather emergency supplies, including N95 respirator masks that filter out particles in the air you breathe. Keep in mind each person's specific needs, including medication. Remember the needs of pets.

Create a fire-resistant zone that is free of leaves, debris, or flammable materials for at least 30 feet from your home.

Review insurance coverage to make sure it is enough to replace your property.

Find an outdoor water source with a hose that can reach any area for your property.

Be Prepared for Extreme Heat

Extreme heat often results in the highest annual number of deaths among all weather-related disasters.
Find places in your Community where you can go to get cool.

Try to keep your home cool:
Cover window with drapes or shades.
Weather-strip doors and windows.
Use window reflectors such as aluminum foil-covered cardboard to reflect heat back outside.
Add insulation to keep the heat out.
Use a powered attic ventilator, or attic fan, to regulate the heat level of a building's attic by clearing hot air.
Install window air conditioners and insulate around them.

Learn to recognize the signs of heat illness.
