Now that we are well into our winter season, many customers may experience weather-related power outages due to strong winds, heavy rain, snow and mudslides. While we will always do our best to safely restore power as quickly as possible, restoration can take longer when there is extensive damage or safety hazards. Preparing ahead of time can help keep your family safe in the event of an outage.
Consider these tips and tools:
-Sign up for outage notifications to receive information via text, call or email.
-Build or restock your emergency supply kit with food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid equipment, cash, and other critical supplies.
-Track the weather by visiting PG&E's interactive weather map.
-Keep important contact information close and handy, including phone numbers of relatives, friends, doctors, the local police, and fire departments.
-Help children learn the importance of emergency preparedness.
-Plan ahead for family members with disabilities with our emergency preparedness guide.
-Stay away from downed powerlines and treat them as if they are energized. Call 911, then notify PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.
For help with local resources and support, call 211 or visit 211.org. 211 is a free and confidential resource that helps Californians find support during hardships.
