EXTENDED POWER OUTAGES DUE TO PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS

We acknowledge the ongoing power outages affecting many Southern California Edison (SCE) customers due to the Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). These outages are a precautionary measure implemented by SCE to mitigate the risk of wildfires, particularly during times of extreme weather conditions such as high winds, dry conditions, and high temperatures. SCE activates PSPS when these conditions create a significant risk of power lines sparking and igniting fires in vulnerable areas. The County of Ventura and cities within the County of Ventura have no control over when power is de-energized or when it will be restored. We understand the hardship these extended outages cause for our residents, and we continually advocate for SCE to restore power to impacted areas as quickly and safely as possible. We encourage residents to share their concerns with the California Public Utilities Commission. 

Southern California Edison accepts claims for food loss due to Public Safety Power Shutoff events. 

Here’s what you’ll need:

Be prepared to provide information on how you attempted to mitigate food losses by using ice or other methods. For additional help or questions, please call SCE’s disaster support line at 1-800-251-3311.
