We are evaluating where we might be vulnerable as county government offices, infrastructure, and community members. Our Departments and Office of Emergency Services staff are preparing for a potential power shutoff. We ask that you do the same for yourself, your family, your business, and your neighborhood. Mariposa County is working hard to make sure our systems and staff are prepared for a Power Shutoff. A PSPS could last as little as a few hours to as long as days. PG&E has put in place a system to inform and alert customers as soon as they have determined that a PSPS needs to occur. This means they will turn off power in certain areas during times of extreme fire danger.Ī Power Shutoff could occur anytime. PG&E and other energy companies have created the Public Safety Power Shutoff or PSPS as a way to reduce the risk of wild fires. This practice will be a change from past CRC protocols for use of the centers.
