PG&E has announced widespread Public Safety Power Shutoffs across parts of the Bay Area for Sunday and Monday as gusty, fire‑season winds arrive. The company says the preemptive outages are designed to reduce the risk of utility equipment igniting fires during high winds. Similar weather-driven outages and wildfire risks have been reported elsewhere, including storm-related power cuts in Hawaii and wind-driven outages in the Upper Midwest. The shutoffs are the first major PSPS actions of the season for the region and may disrupt homes, businesses and transit services.
