OAR 860-024-0080
Procedure for Notification for Public Safety Power Shutoff

(1) Every reasonable effort must be made by the Electric Utility to provide notice of a potential Public Safety Power Shutoff as early as the Electric Utility reasonably believes de-energization is likely. The Electric Utility must provide notice when a decision to de-energize is made, at the beginning of a de-energization event, when re-energization begins and when re-energization is complete. Electric Utility must adhere to the following minimum notification timeline, whenever feasible:
(a) 48-72 hours in advance of anticipated de-energization: notification of entities identified in OAR 860-024-0070 (Requirement to Notify for Public Safety Power Shutoff)(3);
(b) 24-48 hours in advance of anticipated de-energization: notification of all other affected customers/populations;
(c) 1-4 hours in advance of anticipated de-energization, if possible: notification of all affected customers/populations;
(d) When de-energization is initiated: notification of all affected customers/populations;
(e) Immediately before re-energization begins notification of all affected customers/populations;
(f) When re-energization is complete: notification of all affected customers/populations.
(2)(a) The Electric Utility, as the entity with the most knowledge of its electrical facilities and operations, retains ultimate responsibility for development of the communication strategy and notification in advance of, during and after a Public Safety Power Shutoff event.
(b) The Electric Utility must work with the goal of integrating into and leveraging existing outreach and notification systems wherever reasonable, rather than creating duplicative and potentially conflicting systems to those employed by local jurisdictions/first responders.
