A Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) is when an electric utility temporarily shuts off power to reduce the risk of its equipment causing a fire. Fire weather conditions — including strong winds, dry vegetation and low humidity — drive the decision to call for a PSPS.
PSPS continues to serve as a critical public safety tool during extreme weather conditions when there is risk of our equipment sparking a fire.
We understand that losing power for any amount of time is a hardship and we remain committed to helping you stay safe, prepared and informed.

4-7 Hnub Tom Ntej
Thaum kev kwv yees qhia tias muaj hluav taws kub heev, peb pib ua tus qauv kev kwv yees los ntsuas qhov muaj feem cuam tshuam. Peb daim ntawv qhia kev paub txog huab cua qhia cov nroog uas muaj kev txhawj xeeb txog PSPS txog li xya hnub ua ntej.
4 Hnub tom ntej
Peb txuas ntxiv tsim kho cov qauv kwv yees. Cov neeg teb xwm txheej raug muab tso rau ceeb toom.
Ntawv Ceeb Toom 3 Hnub Ua Ntej
Thaum kwv yees tias yuav muaj huab cua kub hnyav, peb sib koom tes nrog cov zej zog tswj xwm ceev, cov neeg teb ua ntej, thiab tsoom fwv hauv zos.
Peb ceeb toom rau cov neeg siv khoom uas muaj feem cuam tshuam thiab qhia thaj chaw cuam tshuam ntawm Daim Ntawv Qhia muaj xwm tsi zoo. PSPS cov cheeb tsam tau qhia nrog cov kab uas qhia txog cov kab hluav taws xob cuam tshuam. Tsis yog txhua qhov xwm txheej PSPS tuaj yeem kwv yees tau ntev ua ntej.
2 Hnub Tom Ntej Ceeb Toom
Raws li qhov kev kwv yees ua tau meej dua, peb hloov kho cov npe ntawm cov kab hluav taws xob uas yuav cuam tshuam.

1-4 teev ua ntej kev ceeb toom kaw
Yog peb kwv yees tias hluav taws xob yuav raug kaw tsis pub dhau ib mus rau plaub teev, peb yuav xa ntawv ceeb toom rau cov neeg siv, thaum twg ua tau. Thaum cov neeg siv khoom tau txais cov ntawv ceeb toom no, kev kaw hluav taws xob tuaj yeem tshwm sim txhua lub sijhawm kom txog thaum kawg ntawm PSPS qhov xwm txheej.
Ceeb toom kaws
Thaum cua ceev thiab hluav taws kub yuav mus txog los sis tshaj qhov kev txwv uas tau teev tseg, peb ceeb toom rau cov neeg tswj xwm ceev, cov neeg teb ua ntej, tsoom fwv hauv zos thiab cov neeg siv khoom thaum peb kaw hluav taws xob.
Ceeb tom ua ntej thaum hluav taw xob rov tuaj
Thaum hluav taws kub nyhiab thiab PSPS tsis xav tau lawm, cov neeg ua hauj lwm hauv cheeb tsam yuav xyuas cov kab kom paub tseeb tias hluav taw xob yuav rov tuaj dua yam nyab xeeb.. Cov neeg siv khoom raug ceeb toom thaum kev tshuaj xyuas pib. Feem ntau nws yuav siv sij hawm mus txog yim teev rau kev soj ntsuam kom tiav rau tag nrho cov kab uas tsis muaj hluav taws xob, los yog nws yuav siv sij hawm ntau dua yog tias xav tau kev pom kev los ntawm ko taw los sis dav hlau.
Ceeb tom thaum hluav taw xob rov tuaj
Txhua tus neeg siv khoom tau ceeb toom txog PSPS yuav tau txais tsab ntawv ceeb toom zaum kawg thaum lawv lub zog tau rov qab los lossis thaum qhov kev tshwm sim tau xaus.
Lwm cov kev ceeb toom tej zaum yuav tshwm sim kom cov neeg siv hluav taws xob paub txog.
Tsis lees paub: Peb qhov kev kwv yees ua ntej yuav tsis ntes lub sij hawm pib ntawm cua daj cua dub los sis lwm yam xwm txheej kub ntxhov txaus ntshai. Hauv cov xwm txheej no, tej zaum yuav muaj me rau tsis muaj ntawv ceeb toom ua ntej lub hwj chim raug kaw rau PSPS. Tom qab kaw, cov neeg siv khoom yuav raug ceeb toom sai li sai tau thiab tuaj yeem tshawb xyuas Daim Ntawv Qhia kom paub meej tias nws yog vim PSPS.
Thaum muaj xwm txheej kub ntxhov huab cua txau ntshai, thaum muaj cua loj, cov nroj tsuag qhuav thiab cov av tsi noo, peb pib xav txog PSPS. Nyob rau hauv cov xwm txheej no, hluav taws kub yuav kis tau sai, ua rau muaj kev phom sij loj rau kev nyab xeeb. PSPS txo qhov kev pheej hmoo ntawm cua ua rau cov ceg ntoo lossis lwm cov khib nyiab tuaj yeem cuam tshuam nrog cov khoom siv hluav taws xob thiab pib hluav taws.
PSPS kev txiav txim siab yog ua raws li cov lus ceeb toom huab cua hauv lub sij hawm los ntawm cov chaw huab cua saum toj kawg nkaus ntawm los sis nyob ib sab ntawm PSPS circuits. Peb feem ntau xav txog cov yam ntxwv thiab cov xwm txheej thaum tshem tawm hluav taws xob ntawm ib qho kev sib txuas hluav taws xob los sis ib feem ntawm kev sib txuas hluav taws xob:
- Cua loj
- Qhov noo tsawg
- Cov nroj tsuag qhuav uas tuaj yeem yuav zoo tam li yog cov roj tau
Siv peb cov cuab yeej saib xyuas huab cua thiab hluav taws kom paub meej.
- Soj qab saib txog kev hloov huab cua nrog rau peb li xya-hnub.
- Saib cov koob yees duab hluav taws kub hloov tshiab.
- Saib cov ntaub ntawv chaw huab cua ua tshiab tshaj.
- Saib ib daim ntawv qhia sib tham uas qhia txog cov ntaub ntawv ntawm kev noo ntawm nroj tsuag.
Cov neeg siv khoom uas nyob hauv thaj chaw muaj kev pheej hmoo siab txog hluav taws yuav muaj feem tshwm sim PSPS ntau. Txawm li cas los xij, cov neeg siv khoom uas nyob ze thaj chaw muaj kev pheej hmoo hluav taws kub kuj tseem yuav raug cuam tshuam vim lawv txuas nrog cov kab hluav taws xob uas khiav los ntawm los sis ze rau thaj chaw muaj hluav taws kub siab.
Txhawm rau txheeb xyuas yog tias koj nyob hauv thaj chaw muaj kev pheej hmoo hluav taws kub, nkag mus rau koj qhov chaw nyob ntawm peb Daim Ntawv Qhia thiab xaiv "qhov chaw muaj hluav taws kub siab".
Txawm hais tias qee cov neeg siv khoom tsis tuaj yeem ntsib cua daj cua dub hauv lawv lub tsev los sis kev lag luam, lawv tuaj yeem tau txais kev pab cuam los ntawm circuit pib hauv los sis hla qhov cua loj uas muaj kev pheej hmoo hluav taws kub ua ntej mus txog lawv qhov chaw nyob. Yog li ntawd, ib qho thaiv los sis ib puag ncig yuav muaj hluav tawm xob thaum lwm tus tsis ua. Peb ua qhov zoo tshaj plaws los txo qhov cuam tshuam los ntawm kev hloov ib ntus ntawm cov zej zog mus rau cov chaw nyob ze, tab sis qhov no tsis yog ib txwm ua tau. Tsis tas li ntawd, txij li tag nrho cov circuits yuav tsum tau saib xyuas los ntawm cov neeg ua hauj lwm hauv av ua ntej kev kho dua tshiab, tsis yog txhua lub circuits yuav rov qab los tib lub sij hawm.
SCE is increasing its use of drones during PSPS patrols to help identify damage and potential hazards, such as downed wires or vegetation contact, and expedite circuit inspections to safely restore power more quickly. Drone patrols may occur during the day or night.
You might see white or colored lights from the drone as it flies along the power lines — these lights are more noticeable at night. You may also hear brief, low-level noise.
Drones only fly over power lines, so you will typically see or hear them for a short time. Sometimes, a drone may need to spend extra time over one area to get a closer view or take photos of any damage.
Yes. All drone flights follow strict safety protocols and comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. SCE drone pilots are FAA-certified. SCE drone pilots are specifically trained for flights near power lines and at night to keep operations safe.
Drone patrols may collect images. We use this information only for approved utility and public safety needs. To learn about how we protect your privacy, please visit sce.com/privacy.
