Helpful Tips:
Although unplanned outages are unpredictable, it helps to be prepared. To reduce the impact of possible future outages on your people and facilities, we recommend you follow these tips:

• Download the SCE mobile app available on the App Store and Google Play to stay updated on the event status.

• Turn off equipment and appliances, including computers and laptops. This helps prevent potential equipment damage when power is restored.

• Outages affect alarm systems and possibly private phone systems. After any outage, notify your security and/or phone companies to let them know you have experienced an outage.

• Make sure you can override, or manually operate, your garage or security gates.

• Know where your main breaker (circuit breaker or fuse box) is located. Learn how to reset the circuit breaker or safely change a fuse, and keep the correct spares handy.

We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary outage may have caused, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we actively work to restore your service and increase system reliability.


Sincerely,

Southern California Edison
