PSPS Warning: Due to forecasted high fire risk conditions SDG&E will likely need to shut off power as a last resort in your area sometime overnight to reduce the risk of wildfire. We know being without electricity is difficult and we appreciate your patience.

Safety is our top priority during high fire risk conditions. We will provide regular updates until the risk has passed or power has been restored.

What you need to know:

  • SDG&E will continue to monitor weather and high fire risk conditions and will provide regular updates. Weather forecasts can change quickly.
  • If power is shut off at your location to reduce the risk of a wildfire,
    • We will not turn it back on until the risk has passed, and conditions are safe to do so.
    • We may open a Community Resource Center (CRC) in your area where you can charge small electronics, get water and snacks, and find real-time outage information. You will be notified if a CRC is opened.
  • We recommend you plan for an extended outage. Talk with your household about your emergency plan.
  • If you have a backup generator, please do a safety check and make sure you have enough fuel to last several days. Generator safety tips can be found here (sdge.com/generator).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  • If you rely on uninterrupted power for your health and safety, or need assistance, additional support may be available by dialing 211 or (VRS) 858-300-1211.
  • In most cases, SDG&E expects to be able to turn power back on within 24 to 48 hours after high fire risk conditions have passed. However, if conditions continue, or repairs are needed to damaged power lines, power could stay off longer than 48 hours.
  • If you see a downed power line, do not touch it.  Assume it is energized and extremely dangerous. Report it immediately by calling 911.

For more information, including our outage map with estimated restoration times, Community Resource Center locations, and available support, visit sdge.com/Ready.  Details can also be found in the ‘Alerts by SDG&E’ app, on our X.com page (formerly known as Twitter), or by calling 800-411-7343.  Please monitor your email for more updates.

Thank you again for your continued patience as we work to keep your community safe.
