IMPORTANT: If PG&E needs to turn off an electricity in an area for safety, all customers who receive power in that area will be affected. If you require electricity for your medical needs, you may be eligible for PG&E’s Medical Baseline Program. If you are a Medical Baseline customer, your power can be shut off during a Public Safety Power Shutoff, but PG&E will provide advanced notice, giving you more time to prepare. To learn more about the Medical Baseline program or to sign up, click here or call (800) 743-5000.

  • Community Resource Centers - To support customers in the impacted counties, PG&E has opened Community Resource Centers in multiple locations.
