In this episode, we explain why Orange County homeowners should prepare for Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) as wildfire risks continue across California. Recent power shutoffs in Northern California show how quickly outages can happen during dangerous weather conditions and why backup power planning is becoming essential for everyday safety.

You’ll learn:

•  What a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) is and why utilities use it during wildfire conditions

•  How PSPS events can affect phones, Wi-Fi, refrigeration, medical devices, and home safety 
•  What every home backup power plan should include before the next outage 
•  The difference between portable battery stations, home battery systems, solar storage, and fuel generators 
•  Why medical equipment users need longer backup runtime and emergency planning 
•  How California incentive programs may help reduce battery storage costs
