Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.
As part of ongoing efforts to safeguard the community from wildfire risks, local officials remind residents that Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) may be necessary during extreme weather conditions. These proactive shutoffs help prevent wildfire ignition by de-energizing power lines in high-risk areas, but they can temporarily impact homes, businesses, and essential services.
A PSPS warning is in effect beginning today, June 16 at noon through June 18 at midnight for the northeast area of Goleta. To check if you are in this area, go to SCE at www.sce.com/outage-center/check-outage-status and put in your address. For the latest information from ReadySBC click here .
