- Restoration: After severe weather has passed and we can safely access the area, crews inspect the electric system for wind and debris-caused damage to make sure it is safe to turn the power back on. We anticipate access to damaged areas may still be difficult, which could add to the time it takes to restore power. Flooding, downed trees, and unstable soil contributing to falling rock and debris flows are all likely to occur and pose hazards for crews seeking access. Restoration steps include:
#1 Make Safe – Storm conditions are in progress and impacting your area. PG&E is prioritizing emergency calls from local Police and Fire Departments.
#2 Gain Access – Storm conditions continue, and PG&E is isolating damaged areas and re-routing power to restore customers, as possible.
#3 Patrol and Assess – Weather conditions have improved. PG&E is assessing damage that needs to be repaired before we can restore power.
#4 Repair and Notify – PG&E is making repairs to damaged equipment. When repairs are completed, we will be able to restore power.
#5 Restore and Notify – Power has been restored, and customers will receive a notification to confirm.
