Before a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event making sure:

  • Clear property of excess, dead, and highly flammable vegetation. Trim grass and vegetation at least 30 feet around your home.
  • Identify your unique/critical water needs and plan ahead.
  • If you have a backup generator, test it and ensure it’s ready to operate safely.
  • Store a minimum of two gallons of water per person per day, enough to last three to seven days, and don’t forget your pets. The more water you can store, the better.
