Wildfire safety precautions in place for your area

Due to elevated wildfire risk in your area, we are taking additional safety precautions. We have turned on enhanced safety settings and protective devices on our equipment that will automatically de-energize power lines when debris, wildlife or strong winds contact the lines.


Pacific Power is unable to provide advanced notice of these outages. Power will remain on under normal conditions, but it will shut off automatically if something contacts the line for the safety of customers and communities.
Customers could potentially see more frequent and longer duration outages when these settings are in place.
These measures help prevent wildfires from starting, and we appreciate your patience. We understand that power outages impact our customers.


Be prepared and stay informed

Plan ahead and be prepared year-round.
Create a plan with your medical provider for appropriate backup power.
Review your contact information and sign up for alerts.
Find outage and restoration information on our outage map.
