Wildfire Safety
Climate change, including California’s ongoing drought, has made wildfires a year-round concern. One-quarter of SCE’s service area is now in a high fire risk area, making wildfire mitigation one of our top priorities. SCE has invested in improvements and technology to help us prevent wildfires and respond quickly to them when they do happen.
How a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) Helps Prevent Wildfires
During high wind and dry ground conditions, we may shut off your power. This can help prevent our electrical system from becoming a source of ignition during dangerous wildfire conditions. Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) outages are a last resort to keep you and your community safe. Follow the link below to learn more about PSPS outages and to sign up for alerts.
