Red Flag Warning & Potential PSPS begin Monday evening (tonight)
On Monday night, Sept 7, Napa County will face a Red Flag Warning and a potential Public Safety Power Shutoff from PG&E in parts of the County.
The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for Napa County and other Bay Area counties from 10 PM Monday to 8 AM Wednesday. Hot temperatures, gusty offshore winds, and drier conditions are expected. A Red Flag Warning means that weather conditions are occurring or will occur that can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop have potential to spread rapidly. Please remain vigilant and alert.
PG&E is planning a potential Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) that may impact approximately 103,000 customers in 18 counties, including 5,656 customers in Calistoga, Saint Helena and unincorporated areas of Napa County. The potential PSPS could begin this evening (Monday night). PG&E’s meteorologists and emergency personnel continue to monitor conditions closely and will conduct additional customer notifications, if needed in the coming days.
PG&E customers can look up their address online to determine whether their location is being monitored for the potential public safety shutoff at www.pge.com/pspsupdates.
PG&E will open Community Resource Centers (CRCs) in every county where a PSPS occurs. These temporary CRCs will be open to customers when power is out at their homes and will provide ADA-accessible restrooms and hand-washing stations; medical-equipment charging; Wi-Fi; bottled water; and non-perishable snacks. Impacted Napa residents can find information about CRCs at www.pge.com/pspsupdates.
Napa County urges residents and visitors to take these warnings seriously and prepare for possible emergencies. In addition to the PG&E PSPS website, visit ReadyNapaCounty.org to learn about preparations for wildfires, heatwaves, power outages, and more.
