PG&E to host virtual events to share local wildfire safety progress, new programs in 2022 and steps customers can take to prepare
OAKLAND, Calif. — New this year, PSPS notifications will be provided via call, text and/or email during both day and night, depending on when outages may occur. PG&E previously refrained from sending notifications between the hours of 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. as a courtesy to customers. However, due to requirements from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the policy has been updated. Moving forward, some PSPS notifications will now be sent to customers regardless of the time of day.
To discuss this change as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce wildfire risk, PG&E is hosting a wildfire safety webinar for all PG&E customers on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. During the webinar event, the PG&E team will discuss:
- PG&E’s progress on wildfire prevention efforts
- What’s new this year
- Increased powerline protection to reduce outages
- Improved coordination for faster restoration times
- Additional customer resources to prepare for wildfire season and power outages
The event can be accessed through the link or dial-in below or through PG&E’s website, pge.com/firesafetywebinars.
