Ahead of First Atmospheric River of the Season, PG&E Readies Resources,
Crews to Support Customers and Hometowns
OAKLAND, Calif.— Ahead of the first significant storm of the season, Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) has mobilized crews and resources in key regions to respond to potential
storm-related damage and power outages and is opening its Emergency Operations Center in
Vacaville to assist in the coordination of storm response and restoration efforts.
According to PG&E Meteorologist Scott Strenfel, an atmospheric river event will arrive today
and unfold over the next several days delivering prolonged heavy rain and winds to the North
Bay, Sacramento Valley, Sierra, and Bay Area regions. The adverse weather will also impact
the southern part of the service area and last through the latter part of Friday. PG&E’s
meteorologists are utilizing machine learning outage models to forecast areas of concentrated
outages so crews can be pre-positioned to restore power.
“We expect the first strong storm of the season to bring some much-needed relief after months
of drought and wildfire conditions. If a power outage occurs, we are ready to safely restore
power as quickly as possible to our hometowns and customers,” said Peter Kenny, PG&E
Senior Vice President, Electric Operations.
The company is using its storm outage prediction models that help determine the potential
timing, location, and number of power outages to pre-position storm response resources
including, electric crews, troublemen, distribution line technicians, system inspectors who serve
as the utility's first responders, along with personnel who will monitor electric incidents for public
safety.
PG&E is also prestaging power poles, powerlines, transformers, and other electric equipment at
yards throughout its service area to restore power to affected areas safely and as quickly as
possible.
Keeping Customers Informed
If an outage does occur, PG&E customers can find real-time updates via the online outage
center, including status updates the assessments, repair and estimated time of restoration.
Renters and others without a PG&E account may also use this portal to sign up for outage
notifications by text, email, or phone.
Storm Safety Tips
As PG&E follows its plan to prepare for the storm, customers are urged to prepare their families
as well.
• Never touch downed wires: If you see a downed power line, assume it is energized
and extremely dangerous. Do not touch or try to move it—and keep children and
animals away. Report downed power lines immediately by calling 9-1-1 and then PG&E
at 1-800-743-5002.
Internal
• Use generators safely: Customers with standby electric generators should ensure they
are properly installed by a licensed electrician in a well-ventilated area. Improperly
installed generators pose a significant danger to customers, as well as crews working on
powerlines. If using portable generators, be sure they are in a well-ventilated area.
• Use flashlights, not candles: During a power outage, use battery-operated flashlights
and not candles, due to the risk of fire. And keep extra batteries on hand. If you must
use candles, please keep them away from drapes, lampshades, animals and small
children. Do not leave candles unattended.
• Have a backup phone: If you have a telephone system that requires electricity to work,
such as a cordless phone or answering machine, plan to have a standard telephone or
cellular phone ready as a backup. Having a portable charging device helps to keep your
cell phone running.
• Have fresh drinking water and ice: Freeze plastic containers filled with water to make
blocks of ice that can be placed in your refrigerator/freezer to prevent food spoilage.
• Secure your outside furniture: Strong winds can blow lawn chairs and other outdoor
items into powerlines.
• Turn off appliances: If you experience an outage, unplug or turn off all electrical
appliances to avoid overloading circuits and to prevent fire hazards when power is
restored. Simply leave a single lamp on to alert you when power returns.
• Safely clean up: After the storm has passed, be sure to safely clean up. Never touch
downed wires and always call 8-1-1 or visit 811express.com at least two full business
days before digging to have all underground utilities safely marked.
Other tips can be found at: Safety and Preparedness, Storm Safety, and Safety Action Center.

From RCRC: Rural County Representatives of CA: Insurance Commissioner Finalizes New Catastrophe Modeling Regulations
On Thursday, November 14th, California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara announced that his office had sent the final version of his proposed regulations on catastrophe modeling for insurance ratemaking to the state Office of Administrative Law for approval. The new regulations, which Commissioner Lara hopes will stabilize the insurance market and expand options for property insurance customers throughout the state, allows insurers to utilize catastrophe models in their ratemaking processes in exchange for meeting prescribed commitments to increase policy coverage in high-risk areas of the state.
The regulations have been in development since early 2024 as the California Department of Insurance (CDI) engaged stakeholders, including RCRC, and received public input. Earlier this year, Commissioner Lara also announced plans to work with Cal Poly Humboldt to develop a statewide catastrophe model to help with transparency and enable property owners to better understand their own risk.
The new regulations should be in effect by the end of 2024, with review of the new catastrophe models beginning January 1, 2025. For more information, contact RCRC Senior Policy Advocate Staci Heaton or visit the CDI Commissioner Lara takes major step to increase insurance availability in wildfire-distressed areas.
