What is a Public Safety Power Shutoff?
Severe weather, such as high winds, can cause trees or debris to damage equipment. If there is dry vegetation, this could lead to a wildfire. That's why PG&E may need to turn power off to keep you safe. This temporary outage is called a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). 2-1-1 Humboldt is partnering with PG&E to help provide support during a PSPS like food replacement, transportation or hotel stays. Call 2-1-1 to speak with a live agent to build a custom outage preparedness plan and get connected to local resources. Make an appointment to speak to a 211 Care Coordinator and find local solutions.

PG&E and has been making some upgrades to keep our communities in and around high fire-risk areas safe, they have enhanced safety settings on some power lines. They are called Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings, or EPSS. These settings detect hazards on the powerline and shut off power quickly to prevent an ignition. By preventing ignitions, PG&E can stop wildfires before they have a chance to start. Find out if your home or business is served by an Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS)-capable line.
