⚡ PG&E POWER OUTAGE NOTICE ⚡
Heads up, BOAH family! 🐾 PG&E has a planned power outage scheduled from tonight through Saturday.
Black Oak Animal Hospital will remain OPEN! 🐶🐱 If power is out, we’ll be running on our backup generator. While we’ll do our best to keep things running as smoothly as possible, operating on generator power may cause some delays with appointments, diagnostics, and other services.
A few recommendations for our clients:
🔋 Charge your phones and other essential devices ahead of time.
💊 Make sure you have any needed pet medications refilled before the outage, if possible.
🧊 Keep an eye on temperature-sensitive pet medications and follow their storage instructions if your power goes out.
📞 Please be patient with our team if you experience longer wait times or delays. We appreciate your understanding as we work to keep your pets cared for!
Thank you for your patience and support while we weather this little power adventure together! ⚡🐾
Stay safe, keep those tails wagging, and remember: even when the lights go out, we’re still here for your pets! ❤️
— Your Black Oak Animal Hospital Team
⚠ Public Safety Power Shutoff and Fire Weather Advisory ⚠
PG&E has announced a Public Safety Power Shutoff for portions of El Dorado County beginning Wednesday evening, October 14. Communities expected to be affected include Po***ck Pines east to Echo Summit, Pleasant Valley, Grizzly Flats, Georgetown, Volcanoville and Quintette. Power may remain off until Saturday morning, October 17, while PG&E inspects lines before restoring service.
This shutoff is in response to critical fire weather. Dry, gusty offshore winds are forecast from Wednesday night through Friday, and conditions along the Highway 50 corridor and in our foothill communities will support rapid fire spread.
Prepare before Wednesday evening:
- Plan to be without power for up to three days. Have water, food, medications and pet supplies on hand.
- Fill your vehicle's gas tank and have cash available. Gas pumps and ATMs may not work during the outage.
- Charge phones and backup batteries.
- If anyone in your household relies on oxygen, a CPAP or other powered medical equipment, make a backup power plan now.
- Look up your address at pge.com/pspsupdates, sign up for El Dorado County emergency alerts, and know your evacuation zone.
Help prevent a wildfire:
- Postpone mowing, w**d eating and all outdoor burning until the wind event has passed.
- Secure trailer safety chains and avoid parking on dry vegetation.
- Operate generators outdoors only, at least 20 feet from your home and never in a garage, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Use flashlights rather than candles.
PG&E is establishing Community Resource Centers at the Georgetown Library, Po***ck Pines Community Center and Pioneer Park. Please check PG&E's outage map for hours of operation.
If you see a downed power line, stay clear and call 911 immediately.
Our firefighters are monitoring conditions closely and are staffed and ready. We encourage everyone to check on neighbors, especially older adults and those who depend on medical equipment, and to share this information.
