Southern California Edison Warns
of Potential Public Safety Power Shutoffs
for Parts of San Bernardino
As a result of high fire danger due to forecast high winds, Southern California Edison (SCE) has informed the City of San Bernardino that they are likely to call a Public Safety Power Shutoff impacting portions of San Bernardino between 6:00 pm on Monday, December 9 and 6:00 am on Wednesday, December 11.
SCE will notify all customers who may be affected. For more information, visit www.sce.com/psps
When the conditions improve, and restoration is authorized, crews will inspect, repair the lines and restore power. Typically, this can take up to 8 hours. Restoration can be delayed if damage is found, or daylight is needed for safe aerial or ground patrol. Updates to restoration information will be posted on www.sce.com/psps and on the Public Safety Partner Portal.
The City of San Bernardino is closely monitoring the current wind conditions and have placed City arborists on standby in the event of downed trees, branches, or other road safety issues. Gusts are potentially expected up to 40 mph. The City’s contractor has also been notified to stand by for support, if needed.
If you see downed power lines, even if the power is off, immediately call SCE or dial 911.
