What is a Public Safety Power Shutoff?
High temperatures, extreme dryness and record-high winds have created conditions in our state where any spark at the wrong time and place can lead to a major wildfire. If severe weather threatens a portion of the electric system, it may be necessary for PG&E to turn off electricity in the interest of public safety. This is known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).
Find out here how you can be prepared in the case of a PSPS. To receive PSPS alerts, it is important that PG&E has your current contact information so you can be notified when an event could impact your home or business. Visit My Wildfire Alerts or call 1-866-743-6589 to update your contact information. If you don't have a PG&E account, the flyer below provides instructions on how you can sign up for alerts.
 The Medical Baseline Program, also known as Medical Baseline Allowance, is an assistance program for residential customers who depend on power for certain medical and independent living needs. The program includes two different kinds of help:
- A lower rate on your monthly energy bill
- Extra notifications in advance of a Public Safety Power Shutoff
Due to COVID-19 shelter-in-place requirements and changing medical practitioner priorities, PG&E customers can now self-certify their eligibility to enroll in the Medical Baseline Program.
You can request an application and obtain more information about the Medical Baseline Program by contacting PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 or by completing their online contact form.
Hard of Hearing customers with Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf (TDDs) may call California Relay Service at 7-1-1.
Please note: Eligibility for Medical Baseline is based on medical conditions or needs, NOT on income.
