Please take advantage of the opportunity to hear directly from Chelan County PUD on this important new Power Line policy on June 18th here in Leavenworth.
WHAT IS A FIRE SAFETY OUTAGE?
A fire safety outage is a proactive power outage designed to prevent wildfire ignitions from electrical equipment during very high winds and tinder-dry conditions. Also called a public safety power shutoff, it is a rarely-used measure of last resort in Chelan PUD’s Wildfire Mitigation Program. We know the devastation that wildfires can have on a community, and we also recognize the impact on our customers when power is out. The decision to de-energize the lines is a difficult one, and will only be considered in situations where the risk to public safety is greater than the need for reliability.
