In the case of both the planned and unplanned outages, power will not be restored until the weather event is over and crews can safely inspect utility lines for damage to ensure there is no fire risk. Please also note that, even if power is not intentionally shutoff as part of this wildfire prevention measure, it is expected that there will be an increased number of power outages over the next several days due to the weather. Oregonians are encouraged to register with their electric utility service provider and confirm the utility has their most up-to-date contact information to receive updates directly from the utility regarding potential public safety power shutoffs. As planned power outages, utility companies provide customers with advanced notification of a PSPS. Public safety power shutoffs (PSPS) are planned power outages that utilities use to prevent the ignition of power lines and wildfires when extreme weather conditions exist.
Being prepared is paramount - I encourage all Oregonians to make an emergency plan with your families today. And, please, check on friends and family who may be vulnerable or medically fragile to ensure their needs are addressed.” That said, there are actions each of us can take to assist our firefighters in their response efforts. “As with every fire season, we are prepared to do whatever it takes to protect you, your homes, and the places we all cherish and love. “There is also the possibility of public safety power shutoffs to mitigate potential fire risks. “The forecasted wind patterns, hot dry weather, and potential for lightning are making a challenging environment for increased fire in the coming days,” said Governor Brown.
