Important Message from our Fire DepartmentDue to the critical fire weather throughout the state, PG&E has begun implementing the PSPS ( Public Safety Power Shut Off). Areas currently affected include Butte, Yuba, Nevada, El Dorado and Placer Counties. Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services is communicating with PG&E to determine what impact this will have on our community, should a PSPS occur here. We will continue to update you with any information as soon as we receive it.
Please have a plan in place should you lose power: • Plan for medical needs like medications that require refrigeration or devices that need power. • Update your contact information with PG&E. • Identify backup charging methods for phones and keep hard copies of emergency numbers. • Build or restock your emergency kit with flashlights, fresh batteries, first aid supplies and cash. • Keep in mind family members who are elderly, younger children and pets. • Have a family/household communication plan. Information and tips including a safety plan checklist are available at pge.com/wildfiresafety.
Information for power outages can be found at www.ready.gov
As a reminder, please do not mow or cut weeds after 10:00 am.
Thank you, Jonathan Stornetta Fire Chief
