As a last resort, SDG&E may temporarily turn off power in certain areas to reduce fire risk—these are called Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). Here are a few helpful tips to stay prepared: 1?? Charge essential devices in advance. 2?? Have backup power sources ready, if possible. 3?? Know where to find real-time updates! For the latest PSPS updates and resources, visit sdge.com/ready or download the “Alerts by SDG&E” app at sdge.com/PSPSapp. Stay safe and prepared, San Diego!

With deep gratitude, we honor all veterans and their families for their courage and sacrifice. #VeteransDay2024
