OAR 860-024-0070
Requirement to Notify for Public Safety Power Shutoff


(1) In partnership with local jurisdictions, the Electric Utility must:
(a) Develop and maintain with other emergency partners comprehensive contact information for Public Safety Partners and Critical Facilities dependent on electric power.
(b) To the extent reasonably possible, identify Vulnerable Populations and develop appropriate communication protocols that address the needs of those populations, which may require additional notification efforts.
(2) The Electric Utility must, to the extent possible, provide advance notification to all populations potentially affected by a Public Safety Power Shutoff event.
(3) Whenever possible, an Electric Utility should deliver priority notification to the following entities, at a minimum: Public Safety Partners, operators of Critical Facilities that are not Public Safety Partners, and adjacent local jurisdictions that may lose power as a result of Public Safety Power Shutoff. An Electric Utility must also notify ESF-12 directly and ESF-12 will facilitate coordination with the OERS Council. Notice to all other affected populations may occur after the Electric Utility has given priority notice. This rule is not intended to be restrictive; the Electric Utility may provide priority notification to a broader group to promote public safety.
