Public Safety Power Shutoff - Am I Impacted?

When weather conditions create a high risk for a wildfire, we may temporarily shut off power to your neighborhood to prevent our electric system from becoming the source of ignition. These outages are called Public Safety Power Shutoffs.
View our interactive outage map to see if you are currently impacted and to locate our Community Crew Vehicles and Community Resource Centers. Check back here for locations and hours, which are typically provided or updated on the day before potential shutoffs.
Be sure to also check out these helpful resources and customer care programs that can help you prepare and stay safe.

Notes:
1) While we update the list of impacted counties regularly, real-time data may be delayed or limited as field and weather conditions are dynamic and change constantly.
2) Customer counts are calculated by circuits within each county. If a circuit is in two or more counties, the customers will be counted in each county, which will result in an overcount. Final counts for each event are available in after-event reporting, available here.
Customer Resources During a PSPS
SCE Community Crew Vehicles and Community Resource Centers are available to support customers during Public Safety Power Shutoffs. We provide access to our customer service team, as well as Customer Resiliency Kits, which include PSPS information, light snacks, water, small resiliency devices, and personal protective equipment. Location and hours of operation details are typically updated one day before any potential PSPS shutoffs. SCE complies with applicable COVID-19 guidelines provided by local and state health agencies.

Powering Off for Wildfire Safety
When there are potentially dangerous weather conditions in fire-prone areas, we may need to call a PSPS event. During these events, we will proactively turn off power in high fire risk areas to reduce the threat of wildfires. We recognize that PSPS events create hardships for our customers and communities, especially with so many people working and learning from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have heard a clear message from our customers, regulators, government officials, and public safety partners that the company must do more to reduce the need for PSPS. We are currently looking at opportunities to expedite grid hardening to reduce the need for PSPS events and the risk of wildfires.

How Do PSPS Events Work?
When forecasts indicate elevated weather conditions, we’ll begin assessing the potential impact on affected areas. We’ll analyze historical data to help predict the likelihood of a wildfire occurring, closely monitor weather watch alerts from the National Weather Service (NWS), and place incident responders on alert, if needed.
