Points of Contact for Public Safety Power Shutoff

(1) The Electric Utility must work with Public Safety Partners and operators of Critical Facilities that are not included in Public Safety Partners to identify appropriate First Responder points of contact. This may include local government points of contact for jurisdictions that share First Responder resources. The Electric Utility must identify 24-hour contact points and must identify secondary contacts at a minimum and tertiary contacts if possible. The Electric Utility must also identify primary and secondary means of communication for each contact.
(2) The Electric Utility must provide to Public Safety Partners, and operators of Critical Facilities that are not included in Public Safety Partners, utility personnel 24-hour points of contact, including secondary and tertiary contacts and primary and secondary means of communication.
(3) Consistent with ORS 758.013 (Operator of electric power line to provide Public Utility Commission with safety information), utilities shall file the utility personnel 24-hour points of contact information with the Commission.
(4) The Electric Utility must, in addition to developing its own list of Critical Facilities, work in coordination with Oregon Emergency Management, including the use of the Raptor Software, and in coordination with local county managers and planners to identify other potential Critical Facilities within the Electric Utility’s service territory. The Electric Utility must work together with operators of Critical Facilities to identify 24-hour points of contact and at a minimum, secondary points of contact, including preferred methods of communication.
(5) Identification of Vulnerable Populations, including individuals identify as such with the Electric Utility, is a goal that may not be fully achievable even with assistance of Public Safety Partners. An Electric Utility must, however, take all reasonable steps within the boundaries of the law to attempt outreach to members of Vulnerable Populations, including those self-identifying a such with the Electric Utility, in the event of a Public Safety Power Shutoff.
