Those winds, combined with the exceptional drought and extremely dry vegetation, caused PG&E on Saturday to begin sending two-day advance notifications to approximately 44,000 customers in targeted portions of 32 counties and seven tribes where it may implement the public safety power shut-off, or PSPS, to reduce the risk of wildfire from energized power lines.
Included in those initial notifications were 4,094 customers in Lake County, including 307 Medical Baseline customers, PG&E said.
The PG&E map of the planned outage showed areas that could be impacted in Lake County are some small pockets north and east of Clearlake Oaks, in and around Hidden Valley Lake, Cobb and Middletown.
As of Saturday night, a fire weather watch remained in effect for Lake County for Monday and Tuesday.
The potential shut-offs could begin Monday morning in portions of the North Valley, Sacramento and San Joaquin Foothills, PG&E said.
The company reported that potential shut-offs for the Northern Sierra Foothills, North Bay, North Coast regions, Bay Area hills and the Central Valley could begin Monday evening, depending on the timing of the windstorm.
Customers can also look up their address online to find out if their location is being monitored for the potential safety shut-off at www.pge.com/pspsupdates.
While there is the potential for rain, PG&E said it moved forward with notifying customers of the possible PSPS in case rain doesn’t materialize or forecast wind speeds still pose a wildfire risk.
PG&E also activated its Emergency Operations Center on Friday to support this weather event.
