After monitoring weather conditions and ground conditions overnight, PG&E began de-energizing targeted areas beginning at 4 a.m. on Thursday, June 19, with additional shutoffs after 9:30 a.m.
Support for impacted customers
PG&E plans to open 14 Community Resource Centers in 9 affected counties (Alameda, Colusa, Contra Costa, Glenn, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Shasta, Stanislaus, and Tehama). Check PG&E Outage Center – Ways We Can Help for the latest CRC hours and locations.
During a PSPS, Community Resource Centers offer community members access to resources, including:
- A safe, climate-controlled location to meet their basic power needs, such as charging medical equipment and electronic devices
- Up-to-date information about the PSPS
- Water, snacks, blankets, ADA-accessible restrooms and other essential items to reduce hardships to our customers
- Grab-and-go bags with essential items such as water, snacks, and a PSPS information card with additional PSPS resources, including where to find estimated restoration times.
Grab & Go Bags are available at locations in San Joaquin and Santa Clara counties.
More information
PG&E initiates PSPS when the fire-weather forecast is severe enough that people’s safety, lives, homes and businesses may be in danger of wildfires. Our overarching goal is to stop catastrophic wildfires by proactively turning off power in targeted areas when extreme weather threatens our electric grid.
