Lane Electric will notify members as soon as possible through phone, email, text, social media, and media advisories if extreme weather conditions combined with on-the-ground observation signals that a PSPS is required to safeguard members.
While Lane Electric will provide as much advanced warning as possible, rapidly changing conditions may require that we operate within a shorter timeframe. We are committed to providing information in the timeliest manner possible.
Timeline for a Public Safety Power Shutoff:
Red Flag Warning Issued by National Weather Service: Lane Electric is actively monitoring conditions. Members receive first notification of a possible PSPS.
Power shutoff: Extreme wildfire conditions remain, and on-the-ground coordination continues. Members in the affected area receive notification that power will be turned off.
Power restoration: Extreme conditions have lessened. Lane Electric crews patrol lines to inspect for damage and hanging debris. Power is restored once all lines are cleared and once repairs are made. Members receive notification that power has been restored.
High wildfire risk areas could experience a PSPS when on-the-ground factors and weather conditions create an extreme wildfire risk that could lead to loss of life, catastrophic damage, and be difficult to fight.
We look at a range of factors before considering using a PSPS for community safety:
Several variables are used to predict how long a Public Safety Power Shutoff would last, based on real-time factors. The shutoff would continue until the risk has passed, after which line inspection and power restoration will occur.
We will use all communication channels available to us to notify members. This includes outbound calls, social media updates, media advisories, website banners, and alerts.
