With improving weather conditions throughout the region, SDG&E mobilized its workforce early Friday morning to begin ground and aerial patrols to inspect power lines and equipment in areas impacted by Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). SDG&E understands how challenging it is for customers to be without power and has deployed additional field crews and aerial resources to quickly and safely restore service.  

Patrolling and inspecting power lines are the first steps in the restoration process after a PSPS. Although inspections are underway, it can be difficult to predict how long an inspection may take, given the varied length of each power line, weather conditions and wind speeds, the terrain and whether aerial inspections are required.

Available Resources for Impacted Customers  
SDG&E is focused on continuing to provide a variety of resources for customers who remain de-energized while crews work to keep communities safe during high wildfire-risk conditions. This includes the opening of Community Resource Centers (CRC) in affected communities. These centers are equipped with resources such as Wi-Fi and phone and medical device charging and will remain open until 10:00 p.m. or until the community in which it's located is restored. A list of active Community Resource Center locations and their hours of operation can be found at sdge.com/ready.
 
SDG&E also partners with 211 San Diego and Orange County United Way to offer enhanced community resources during a PSPS, which are free and confidential. Customers can call 211, or (858) 300-1211 in San Diego County and 1-888-600-4357 in Orange County, 24/7 to speak with a live representative in over 200 languages.
