TransparencyPreparing for High Winds
As drought continues throughout Northern California, dry
conditions along with severe
weather may cause fires, downed powerlines, and
destruction of property. With little rain recently, high winds
and gusts are a threat when conditions are dry. Stay prepared for
high wind events by planning, being aware of your surroundings,
and reporting down powerlines/outages. PSPS (Public Safety Power
Shutoff) events are unlikely during times in the winter but with
our current dry conditions it is always a good idea to stay
prepared. Don’t count out wet winter weather yet despite dry
conditions, weather events can change. With continuation of
planning and preparedness, be sure to use resources below to
help.
