And some Edison tips for the home (thx Gino Sund):
Wildfire Safety Tips
- With nightfall approaching the threat of electric service interruption could occur at any time in the wildfire areas, SCE reminds its customers to keep flashlights handy in the event of a service interruption.
- Do not rely on candles for lighting during a power outage because they could pose a fire hazard; please use flashlights.
- Do not rely on candles for lighting during a power outage because they could pose a fire hazard; please use flashlights.
- Check on the safety of family members and neighbors, especially those dependent on power for medical equipment.
- If you see downed lines, please call SCE and report it to the police and fire departments immediately. Never touch or try to move a downed power line.
- If possible, stay away from areas severely impacted by the fire damage. Traffic signals could be inoperative, poles and power lines could be blocking streets and utility crews could be in the area making repairs.
- If you are without electrical service in your home or business, leave one light switch in the “on” position to serve as a signal when electrical service has been restored. This will help limit stress on the electrical system when SCE restores service.
- Do not cook indoors with charcoal or other fossil fuels not meant for indoor use. They could create deadly fumes if used indoors.
- Turn off and unplug any unnecessary electrical equipment, especially sensitive electronic equipment.
