To just say to people, you need to prepare, is really inadequate and its frightening. Worried and frustrated, pg e got an earful from customers tonight about possible power shut offs in the event of wildfire danger. We have Live Team Coverage tonight of the potential black outs and their impact, but lets start with abc7 News Reporter Cornell Barnard live in oakland. Cornell. Reporter dion and eric, pg e says all of its customers need to be prepared for the possibility of what it calls Public Safety power shut offs in the event of wildfire danger. But, you know, some people told us tonight they cant afford to lose power at all. I was not a girl scout, but i should have been a girl scout because i do like to be prepared. Reporter thats why oakland resident constant slider pierre came to this pg e open house. Utility reps explained to customers the new normal of wildfire danger and why it might be necessary to shut off power to areas in the event of extreme fire danger. People want to know if they will be affected. Reporter the mantra, be prepared. Pg e says it will give a 48hour warning to customers in the event of a planned outage. I live in downtown oakland in a building with an elevator. Reporter but advance warning may not help Deborah Kaplan who needs to charge her motorized wheelchair and fears being trapped inside her home. We dont know how long these black outs are going to be. We dont know where exactly theyre going to be. I dont think pg e can predict that either. People are talking about generators and thats a whole nother bag of worms. We want people to know we dont take this lightly, but it is for the safety of our customers and the communities we serve. Reporter in sacramento, wildfire survivors stood on the steps of the state capital to support Assembly Bill 1054. Fire season is upon us. Reporter if passed, it would provide more Legal Protection for fire victims and create more safety regulations for utilities. It ensures safety for all of us in california.

Meantime, pg e says it will continue holding its open houses to talk about wildfire danger. Were live in oakland. Cornell barnard, abc7 news. All right, cornell.

Abc7 News Reporter kate larson is live in green hombb rae witht part of the story. Kate . Reporter the pacific gas electric, the word water is not in their name and yet the utilitys new policies could actually affect your water supply. High up on a hill behind this fence are large steel tanks holding some of marin countys water supply. In the summer months we have about two days of supply in our tank. Reporter Drew Mcintyre is the general manager of the north marin Water District. He says gravity pulls the water down pipes to homes in the area. But in order to refill the tanks, electricity is needed, a potential problem if pg e decides to cut power during high fire danger conditions. Based upon what pg e was projecting for how long power could be interrupted for, were planning for a worst Case Scenario which would be seven days without power. Reporter so the Water District spent more than 200,000 renting and buying extra portable generators to work the pumps and maintain water supply. But your cooperation may also be needed. We are asking our customers during these events to limit outside water use for irrigation. Reporter and if thats not motivation enough, think about your neighborhood fire hydrant, which is supplied by the same water tanks as your house. The water supply is key for us when we get there. Whether it be a structure fire and having to connect to the hydrant or a vegetation fire when our water tenders are securing Water Supplies and shuttling them to the fire engines. Reporter so what about in the event of an unplanned outage . Say in the case of an earthquake . Unlike pg es wildfire safety shut offs which are widespread, unplanned outages are usually localized so mcintyre says the generators can generally handle the extra pumping load in those cases. Live in green brae, im kate larson, abc7 news. Kate, much appreciated. In the south bay sam liccardo is asking state legislators to prevent pg e from flipping the switch. Pg e says cities throughout California Trust us. The puc seems fine with that approach. Local governments like san jose have serious concerns. In may, the California Public Utilities Commission agreed to give pg e full discretion for shutting down power for seven days. Liccardo said a black out lasting that long could have serious consequence. Pg e responded saying there are safety risks on both sides and de energizing lines is not a decision they take lightly.
