Dear Fourth District Residents,
I want to make you aware that the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a High Wind Warning in effect from 4:00 am on Tuesday, January 7 through 6:00 pm on Wednesday, January 8. A Red Flag Warning is also in effect from 1:00 pm on Tuesday, January 7 through 6:00 pm on Thursday, January 9 due to gusty winds and low humidity in the Inland Empire and San Bernardino County Mountains. Winds gusts may reach up to 60 mph at times.
These weather conditions can cause power outages, and conditions could lead to Southern California Edison (SCE) declaring a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) power outage to prevent fires. For details on potential outages and estimated restoration times, visit the SCE Outage Center. For your safety and the safety of our community, I strongly advise against any outdoor burning during this time.
Here on some safety tips in preparation for the high winds tomorrow:
- When high winds are expected, trim tree branches away from your home and power lines.
- Secure outdoor objects like furniture and garbage cans that can blow away and cause damage.
- High winds may cause power outages. Make sure you have sufficient water and non-perishable food. You should also charge your phone and medical devices.
- Sign up for notification through your energy company so you can receive outage alerts.
Thank you for your cooperation and vigilance. Together, we can help protect our community from potential fire hazards. For more tips, please visit our incident page.
Stay Safe,
Supervisor Curt Hagman
