ArcGIS A public safety power shutoff is happening today that will last up to several days or longer in the southern California region. The shutoff are happening during Red Flag Warning times to decrease fire risks. Residents are trying to check the latest updates on the outages by looking at PG&E’s power shutoff maps. Unfortunately, the PG&E website is not always loading correctly. So some people have created alternative options if you go to check and the site isn’t working correctly for you.An Alternative Map Was Created on ArcGIS One alternative map to truck power outages, planned shutoff areas, and power outage incidents, is found on ARCGIS here. The map is below. It was shared on Reddit originally by u/CPhTonReddit, who said they found the map while looking at updates. The map was created by Solano County, but also appears to have other areas included. The only issue with this map is that sometimes it requires a login to view. So if the embedded map above is showing a login requirement, that’s actually an easy and free fix.

They are frequently posting updates for concerned residents. The first phase of the shutdown, involving 500,000 residents, was completed. If you still have power in the counties listed below then you will not be affected by the shutdown. Other locations are still slated to lose power during the next phases. Alameda County, for example, will be losing power around noon on Wednesday.Planned Shutoff Map Although this next map is not being updated to show shutoffs as they happen, it does reveal which areas are planned to be included in the shutoff.
