This week PG&E provided additional details about its fire safety plan for 2019. An important factor -- expect more and broader blackouts this summer and fall. The announcement lays out the expansion of the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program. 

More details available on the PG&E website.

What does this mean for you? Make sure your disaster preparedness plan includes what you will do when there is simply an unplanned outage. Do you have a stationary backup power source, such as a diesel generator? If not, contact us for a consultation about your needs. Your plan should also include how you will acquire extra backup power. We rent portable generators, but when the power is out is not the time to figure out what you need. When the time comes that you need a generator delivered in a hurry, here is what we need to know:

• What is your application?
• What amperage is needed?
• What voltage is needed?
• Single phase or three phase?
• How much cable do you need?
• How many hours per day will the generator be running?
• Does the generator need to be delivered?
• Do you need CD & Power to do the installation?
• Do you need to have fueling arranged

Fill in the answers and have the information posted on or near your generator along with our 24/7 hotline 866-468-7697.

At CD & Power we like to think we have written the book on how to prepare for disaster, THE DISASTER RECOVERY AND CONTINGENCY POWER PLAN.
