Customers Restored
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) reported that the
company issued a weather “all clear” for all counties within its
service area impacted by Wednesday’s Public Safety Power Shutoff
(PSPS).
Restoration Updates
As wind conditions improved, at 2:00 a.m. today, a weather “all
clear” was issued for all remaining customers impacted by PSPS,
meaning it is now safe for inspections and restoration work to
begin. PG&E expects all customers to be restored by tonight or
sooner, pending damages found on the system.
As of 6:00 a.m. today, approximately 10,000 customers had been
restored. Approximately 50,000 customers were originally impacted
by the November 20 PSPS event.

Safety patrols and inspections, which take place largely during
daylight hours, will proceed throughout the day today. Resources
supporting the restoration include more than 5,500 on-the-ground
field personnel and 45 helicopters.
Community Resource Centers
PG&E’s Community Resource Centers (CRCs) will remain open
until restoration is completed in the supported area. Restrooms,
bottled water, electronic-device charging and
temperature-controlled seating for up to 100 will be available at
these facilities. The locations and open status of CRCs will be
