‘Make Your Own Emergency Plan’ Helps Families
Create and Share a Customized Plan for Responding to Power Outages,
Natural Disasters and More
Whether it’s earthquakes, wildfires, winter storms, health
pandemic or power outages, Californians need to be prepared for any
emergency or disaster. That’s why Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(PG&E) has launched a new tool on our online Safety Action
Center that helps customers be prepared.
By using the “Make Your Own Emergency Plan” tool and answering a
few short questions, visitors to the website can compile and
organize the important information needed for a family’s
personalized emergency plan. This includes important phone numbers,
escape routes and a family meeting location if an evacuation is
necessary. It also includes reminders to check smoke-detector
batteries and when to practice your family emergency drills.
Once completed, the personal emergency plan can be printed and
shared with the rest of the family.
“Wildfire season in California had started. We want to help our
customers and communities prepare for a wildfire, a safety power
shutoff or a natural disaster,” said Laurie Giammona, PG&E
chief customer officer and a senior vice president. “That’s why we
have created the Safety Action Center. And we know that each
customers’ situation is unique, which is why this new tool lets
customers create a personal emergency plan that works for them and
their families.”
The Safety Action Center was launched in 2019 and includes
videos, quizzes, step-by-step guides and tips to help keep families
safe during wildfires, earthquakes, power outages and other
emergency situations. On the site, you’ll find:
- Ten tips to keep cool during a heat wave
- A video that shows you the six steps to put together an
emergency kit
- Tips on how to prepare for a power shutoff
- Advice on creating defensible space around your house
- How to help your community during the COVID-19 health
crisis
- And much more
The Safety Action Center is just one of many ways that PG&E
is working to mitigate wildfire risk and enhance public safety as
part of the Community Wildfire Safety Program. To learn more about
safety progress so far in 2020 as well as how PG&E is going to
make any needed Public Safety Power Shutoffs smaller in the number
of customers impacted, shorter in duration and smarter by
integrating new technology, visit the Safety Action Center at
