PG&E to Shut Off Power to 800,000 Customers at Midnight October 9, but SSFUSD is Unaffected

PG&E has announced possible planned power outages that are expected to take effect on Wednesday and/or Thursday, October 9 and 10.

Due to forecasted strong and dry winds, PG&E is considering proactively turning off power for safety across portions of San Mateo and other Bay Area counties.

At the moment, the South San Francisco Unified School District is NOT within the zones of the possible outages, so we do NOT anticipate being affected and do NOT anticipate any changes to our programs.

PG&E has not confirmed the power outages will take place, so this message is being sent as a precautionary measure only.

For further information and updates regarding the areas that may be affected by the outages, please visit PG&E’s website (www.pge.com), where you can access a map of potential outage areas.

We will notify you if PG&E updates their coverage zones and proceeds with any possible outages that could impact our schools.

At that time, we will share any information we have about the duration of the outage and our plans, including possible schedule modifications or school closures if necessary.
