If you’re a Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) customer who lives or works in a high fire-threat area from the Sierra to the coast, they will contact you multiple times before they initiate a Public Safety Power Shutoff due to hot temperatures, high winds and dry vegetation that foretell elevated wildfire conditions.
That’s why it is crucially important that PG&E has your updated contact information.
PG&E strongly encourages everyone to do so by visiting www.pge.com/mywildfirealerts or by calling the PG&E contact center at 1-866-743-6589.
In March, PG&E sent postcards to more than 200,000 customers encouraging them to update their mobile number, email and other key information so the company can contact them in advance should it become necessary to temporarily turn off power for safety this fire season.
This week, a second-notice postcard will go to about 57,000 customers who have missing or incomplete contact information associated with their PG&E account.

They manage to send the bill to the right address so I don’t need to remind them where I am or what my email/land line phone is. I don’t give the cell # out when asked.
Also, make sure your generators are maintained and ready to go, and that you have fuel for them. It’s pretty nice to keep your refrigerator and freezer going so as not to have a pile of spoiled food.
Now that everyone has their freezers full of food they are going to shut off the power.
Hard to burn down your house if they do not have the address.
Instead of wasting time & money on a
quarter million postcards why doesn’t
PG&E use the funds to maintain old lines
and hire more tree trimmers. I can pretty
easily figure out when my powers been
shut off. Many of these wildfires have been
caused by PG&E’s lack of adequate
preventive maintenance. Their giving up
and waving the white flag of surrender
by shutting off our power is not the
solution.
Hmm. Sounds like predictive programming.
