MAP: PG&E PSPS outages in California
PG&E began Public Safety Power Shutoffs Wednesday across Northern California due to elevated fire danger from dry, gusty winds and low humidity. About 88,000 customers in 29 counties may lose power through Saturday; 14,388 are already affected. Winds up to 45 mph are expected, prompting a Red Flag Warning through Friday. PG&E calls shutoffs a last resort, advising customers to prepare with dry ice, charged devices and generators. Outages affect 5,500 Medical Baseline customers and six tribal governments. Community resource centers are available. Residents express frustration but acknowledge preparation needs.
