Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has initiated a potential Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) from Tuesday evening through Thursday morning, due to strong winds and dry conditions that elevate wildfire risks. About 15,000 customers in 17 counties and three tribal areas may be impacted. PG&E has alerted affected customers and is working with election officials to mitigate disruptions, particularly on Election Day, with backup power for critical sites. Community Resource Centers will provide assistance, and PG&E advises customers to prepare for potential outages by ensuring emergency kits and backup power sources.
