After speaking with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), I encourage residents to file complaints about their experiences using the link below:

https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/consumer-support/file-a-complaint/utility-complaint

I also urge residents to include a request that the CPUC reevaluate the current reimbursement rules, taking into consideration the financial hardships and unexpected expenses these prolonged outages continue to cause.

More information will be coming soon about a City Council meeting to discuss these ongoing concerns. I will also share information about the backup power requirements for wireless providers and how communication services can remain available during outages. I am still researching this.

Our community deserves reliable service, accountability, and fair consideration of the impacts these outages have on residents and businesses.

A message from the CPUC: If you believe you are not receiving adequate information from SCE or are concerned about
recurring outages, you can file a complaint with the CPUC Consumer Affairs Branch.

Calabasas Three-Day Power Outage: What Happened and What Needs to Change

Thousands of Calabasas residents spent nearly three days without power, and many also lost internet and cell phone service.

We all understand the importance of preventing wildfires and keeping our community safe during high-wind events. But how are we keeping residents safe if they cannot make a phone callor receive emergency alerts during a potential emergency?

This is especially frustrating because many of these same concerns were supposed to be addressed following the Woolsey Fire in 2018.

Beyond the communication failures, the impacts were significant. Businesses were forced to close, residents lost refrigerators full of food, schools closed, parents scrambled for childcare, and families spent days without reliable information about when their power would return, even after the winds had subsided.

I also want to acknowledge our local SCE representative, who worked tirelessly to obtain updates throughout the outage. Although we did not receive the information we had hoped for, she did everything she could to get answers. My concerns are at the larger systems and processes that need improvement.

So where do we go from here?

I know these are complicated issues, and the solutions will not be easy. But I care deeply about our community and believe we must continue pushing for meaningful changes.

I've outlined my observations, concerns, and the next steps I am pursuing in the attached document. I encourage you to read it.

We will also be discussing these issues at an upcoming City Council meeting, and I will share the details once scheduled.

Public safety cannot end with shutting off the electricity. Residents must also be able to call for help, receive emergency alerts, and stay connected when they need it most. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BlKWbcr7APaCL4T6Der9Ds7SPBlbem5b/view?usp=sharing

Enough is Enough! Update: If you believe you are not receiving adequate information from SCE or are concerned about
recurring outages, you can file a complaint with the CPUC Consumer Affairs Branch.

For the thousands of residents who have been without power for what will be nearly 48 hours, the situation is even more concerning for those who have also lost internet and cell phone service.

My greatest concern is for residents who may be unable to call 911 or receive critical emergency alerts. These are serious public safety issues that were supposed to be addressed following the Woolsey Fire.

AT&T has indicated that it will not deploy a Cell on Wheels (COW) during a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event. I have reached out to our County Supervisor’s office for assistance and have also been in communication with Spectrum to explore other options.

Power outages are difficult enough, but when residents lose their ability to communicate or receive emergency information, it becomes a much larger public safety concern.

Residents must have a reliable way to call for help and receive emergency alerts, especially during the very conditions that prompted these power shutoffs in the first place.

10/16/2026

Know your evacuation zone and make sure you are registered for emergency alerts.
