PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFF (PSPS) WATCH FOR 10/23 & 10/24
PG&E has issued a PSPS WATCH for Wednesday (10/23) and Thursday (10/24) for the North Bay including Santa Rosa. A PSPS WATCH is a moderate risk of a PSPS event.
If weather conditions warrant, PG&E has indicated that a significant portion of east Santa Rosa will be impacted by the PSPS event potentially planned for Wednesday, 10/23 and Thursday 10/24. While anticipated restoration times are not yet available, PG&E has stated it could take between 24 and 48 hours after the PSPS event ends to fully restore power to customers in all 15 counties currently included in the potential shutoff.
To get the most accurate PSPS information from PG&E, visit pgealerts.com. PG&E has revamped their website since the PSPS event a couple weeks ago to better support the needs of our community. On the PG&E website you can also look up your address to determine if you are within the potentially impacted area — direct link here: psps.ss.pge.com/. Please note: The address lookup tool provides a more accurate view than the PSPS Area Map.

Important Information in the Event of an Emergency
Sheltering is appropriate when conditions require that you seek protection in your home, place of employment or other location when disaster strikes. Sheltering outside the hazard area could include staying with friends and relatives, seeking commercial lodging or staying in a mass care facility operated by disaster relief groups.
Sheltering in Place
Choosing to take shelter where are is necessary in many emergencies.
American Red Cross
During an emergency, the American Red Cross may work with the City of Santa Rosa and County of Sonoma to establish and operate designated mass care shelters.
Even though mass care shelters often provide water, food, medicine and basic sanitary facilities, you should plan to take your disaster supplies kit with you so you will have the supplies you require. Mass care sheltering can involve living with many people in a confined space, which can be difficult and unpleasant. To avoid conflicts in the stressful situation, it is important to cooperate with shelter managers and others assisting them. Keep in mind that alcoholic beverages and weapons are forbidden in emergency shelters and smoking is restricted.
The City of Santa Rosa with American Red Cross and other agencies has identified City Community Centers, High Schools, Middle Schools and other facilities to help address sheltering needs for our community and for special, access and functional needs individuals and groups. During and/or after an emergency, information on those facilities will be provided through public press release releases.
