Our efforts are making the system safer while allowing us to better respond to climate challenges. This work includes:
Undergrounding powerlines
Our 10,000-mile undergrounding program is the largest effort in the U.S. to underground powerlines as a wildfire risk reduction measure.
Learn more about undergrounding
System hardening
We are strengthening the electric system with stronger poles and covered powerlines in addition to undergrounding.
Learn more about system hardening
Enhancing powerline safety settings
We are using enhanced settings to turn off power within one-tenth of a second if a threat is detected. These settings are known as Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS).
Reducing Public Safety Power Shutoff impacts
We are working to make our system safer and improve Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS).
Managing trees and vegetation near powerlines
We are keeping trees and other vegetation at a safe distance from powerlines.

To share information about wildfire risk near you, we use the Fire-Threat Map. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) worked with CAL FIRE and others to develop this tool. This map shows places with a high risk of wildfires that could put people and property in danger.
At PG&E, nothing is more important than safety.
Find out how planned safety outages prevent wildfires and keep you safe.
Stay prepared for power outages and get support.
