Due to elevated fire weather conditions and Santa Ana winds, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has initiated Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) in certain communities to help reduce wildfire risk and protect public safety. An up-to-date list of impacted communities can be found at sdge.com/ready. 

SDG&E’s Emergency Operations Center is monitoring the high winds and severe wildfire conditions around the clock and will continue to de-energize equipment for safety as conditions warrant. Power will not be restored until conditions improve and no longer pose a threat to the infrastructure. 

Community Resource Centers will be available for customers impacted by a PSPS. These Centers are equipped with resources such as Wi-Fi, phone and medical device charging, and are open to the public. The most current list of impacted communities as well as Community Resource Center locations and hours can be found at sdge.com/ready. 

Public Safety Power Shutoffs are approved by state regulators as an important safety tool of last resort to mitigate fire risk during dangerous weather conditions. 

High winds and other weather conditions also have the potential to lead to unplanned outages throughout the region, which are separate from a PSPS. Customers are encouraged to visit SDG&E’s outage map at sdge.com/outages for unplanned outage details and expected restoration times. Customers should also never approach damaged infrastructure or downed power lines and report them by calling 911 or SGD&E’s call center at 800-411-7343.  

SDG&E has also partnered with 211 San Diego and Orange County United Way (formerly 211 Orange County) to offer enhanced community resources during a PSPS. 211 is free, confidential and available to answer customer calls 24/7, in over 200 languages. Customers with hearing impairment can dial 211 or 711 and ask to be connected to 211 at 858-900-1211.
