Address Alerts for non-PG&E account holders

Address Alerts can help you stay safe by informing you via call or text about an expected Public Safety Power Shutoff event at any address that's important to you. Such addresses might include your child's school, your parent's home, or a mobile home park or a rental unit where your landlord pays the PG&E bill. These notifications are available in multiple languages. You do not have to have a PG&E account at the address to receive an alert.


NOTE: Account holders automatically receive PSPS alerts for their address(es).


  • If you enroll multiple addresses (e.g., mom's house, work site, child's school) on the same phone number and only want to remove one address, you'll need to unenroll all and re-enroll for the addresses you want to keep.
  • You can opt out at any time.
