POTENTIAL SCE PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS (psps) IN SEVERAL AREAS OF EAST & WEST MALIBU DUE TO WINDY, HAZARDOUS FIRE CONDITIONS
Potential PSPS power outages in multiple neighborhoods in east & west Malibu Mon, 11/20 - Tues 11/21 due to hazardous windy fire conditions in order to prevent its equipment from starting a wildfire. The PSPS warning is for multiple circuits (Galahad, Nicholas & Serra circuits), but those change with changing wind patterns. SCE is notifying customers directly. Look up PSPS power outage status at http://www.SCE.com/PSPS. Look up your circuit and map at www.MalibuCity.org/PSPS.
Be prepared for potential power outages, fire, evacuations, hazardous road conditions due to branches in the road and malfunctioning traffic signals. Under CA law, come to a complete stop at any malfunctioning traffic signal.
Monitor local news using AM/FM car, solar, handcrank and battery powered radios, which will work when the power is out.
Move flammable furniture and materials away from your house, secure furniture. Check on elderly or disabled neighbors. Seniors, people who rely on wheelchairs, medical devices, or are otherwise not mobile, and owners of horses and large animals should consider leaving the area early. Ensure that you know how to open your garage door or electric gate when the power is out.
The City has an agreement with SCE to station an SCE Community Resource Crew Vehicle at Malibu Bluffs Park (PCH and Malibu Canyon Road) 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM Monday and Tuesday to allow people to charge devices and get information.
