Power outage map: Where Southern California Edison has cut electricity or is considering it (Oct. 24)

by in News

Southern California Edison has shut off power to more than 31,000 customers and has 386,000 more customers in areas where it’s considering cutting power due to weather conditions that are raising the fire danger.

According to Edison’s website, as of 6:45 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, those without electricity include almost 10,400 customers in Los Angeles County, more than 7,400 in San Bernardino County and more than 1,800 in Riverside County. An earlier outage affecting a small number of Orange County customers was no longer listed. (See the full list and safety tips below the map.)

The utility notes that while it updates its list of affected communities regularly, “real-time data may be delayed or limited as field and weather conditions are dynamic and change constantly.” Also, Edison officials are updating the list on its website and the files used to create the map below at different times, so there may be some inconsistencies.

Here is the full list of communities that Edison said were affected as of 6:45 p.m. Thursday.

Power outage tips

The state’s electrical utilities and the Red Cross offer the following advice on how to prepare for a power outage and what to do if your power goes off:

  • Have a personal safety plan in place for every member of your household, including pets. It should include plans for medical needs, such as medications that need to be refrigerated or medical devices that require power.
  • Build or restock your emergency supply kit. It should include food (nonperishable and easy to prepare), water (one gallon per person per day), flashlights (not candles), a radio (NOAA weather radio if possible), fresh batteries, first-aid supplies, sanitation items, a multipurpose tool and cash.
  • Have copies of personal documents such as medical information/a medicine list, the deed or lease to your home, insurance policies, birth certificates and passports.
  • Identify backup charging methods for cellphones. Have a hard copy of important/emergency numbers in case your phone dies.
  • Learn how to manually open your garage door. If the power outage is related to wildfire danger, consider parking your vehicle in the driveway facing the street. Keep the gas tank full.
  • Have coolers ready and stocked with ice. If the power goes out, keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. Use food from the refrigerator within four hours and from the freezer within 48 hours.
  • Have a thermometer so you can check food when the power comes back on — any perishable items that have been exposed to temperatures of 40 degrees or more for two hours or more (or have an unusual color, odor or texture) should be thrown away.
  • If the power goes out, turn off and unplug unnecessary electrical equipment (especially sensitive electronics) and appliances to avoid damage from a power surge when it comes back on. Leave one light on so you can tell when the power is restored.
  • If you own a backup generator, ensure it is ready to safely operate. Get advice from a professional, such as an electrician, when you purchase it. Do not connect a portable generator to a home’s electrical system. Plug the equipment you want to power directly into the outlets on the generator.
