PG&E is considering shutting off power in parts of Alameda and Contra Costa counties due to predicted high winds and dry conditions that elevate fire risks.
The anticipated power shutoff is part of PG&E's Public Safety Shutoff Program, introduced in 2019 to mitigate fire risks based on specific thresholds.
In recent years, PG&E has played a role in some of California's most catastrophic wildfires, including the Dixie Fire and Camp Fire, raising concerns about their safety practices.
Residents are encouraged to sign up for notifications regarding potential power shutoffs, emphasizing the utility's commitment to keeping communities informed during elevated risk periods.
