Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS)

What is a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)?

When weather conditions create a high risk for a wildfire, Southern California Edison (SCE) may temporarily shut off power to your neighborhood to prevent the electric system from becoming the source of ignition. These outages are called Public Safety Power Shutoffs.

Notifications

Sign up for customer alerts. SCE intends to notify affected customers approximately 48 hours in advance of a potential PSPS event and will attempt to notify customers again approximately 24 hours before power is shut off. Additional notifications will be made throughout the outage, when power has been shut off and when it has been restored. Notifications may occur via a combination of a phone call, text, sce.com, email, and social media.

Traffic Signal Outages

Please keep the following in mind whenever you are behind the wheel:

• Stop at All Non-Functioning Traffic Signals: Treat intersections with traffic lights that are out as four-way stops. Always yield to vehicles that arrive before you, and proceed cautiously.
• Obey Speed Limits and Traffic Laws: Adhering to the speed limit and traffic rules is essential for everyone’s safety.
• Minimize Distractions: Avoid using your phone or other devices while driving. Pull over safely if you need to make a call or send a message.
• Stay Alert: Be mindful of your surroundings, particularly in areas with non-functioning signals or heavy pedestrian activity.
• Adjust for Weather and Conditions: Take extra caution when driving in poor weather or unfamiliar areas.

Following these guidelines can help prevent accidents and ensure we all reach our destinations safely.
