Are you and your loved ones prepared for a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)? People with Access and Functional Needs living in high fire-risk areas can call 211 to plan and prepare for PSPS events. If you have physical, developmental, or intellectual disabilities, chronic conditions, injuries, are an older adult, or use medical equipment that requires electricity, call 211 or text "PSPS" to 211-211 to begin your personalized Care Coordination.

As fire season approaches, utility companies may need to turn off power as a last resort to ensure public safety when there's an increased wildfire risk. This is known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS. Call 211 to learn how to prepare for a PSPS event.
