<\/p>\nAngels Camp, CA…PG&E has announced that if extreme fire danger conditions threaten a portion of an electric system serving a community, it may be necessary for PG&E to turn off electricity in the interest of public safety through their Public Safety Power Shutoff Program (PSPS). PG&E\u2019s outages will occur in response to localized weather conditions and may not be fully known until the day of the event. The decision to turn off the power and the speed at which it is restored is planned and managed solely by PG&E. Citizens need to prepare for being without power for several days. PG&E will attempt to notify customers of PSPS outages through calls, texts, and emails using the contact information tha t PG&E has on file. Be sure your contact information is up-to-date with PG&E at pge.com\/mywildfirealerts. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The City of Angels Camp is planning to minimize potential negative impacts of the PSPS with the installation of multiple back-up generators at critical sites throughout the City. While these back-up generators are planned for installation to assist in the continued operation of public safety, water, and sewer services, there may be situations when service interruptions occur. Uninterrupted power is required to operate City water and sewer treatment plants along with the water distribution and sewer collection system 24\/7. Importantly, all City residents must be prepared to respond to the call for water conservation efforts. <\/p>\n
During prolonged PSPS outages, the City will work in conjunction with the County to designate a \u201cResiliency Center\u201d where citizens can go to a cooled environment with water, and access to electricity to charge essential electronic devices. Locations of Resiliency Centers will be announced as they open. <\/p>\n
The City of Angels Camp reminds our community that it is important to be prepared and have a plan. Prepare for outages that may occur at any time and may last several days. Visit www.prepareforpowerdown.com for detailed information about preparing for power outages.<\/p>\n
