The Northern California event that we are heading into is expected to peak overnight tonight. We are expecting the winds to taper off for Northern California in the 10 am to noon time frame. At that time we will be looking at our weather stations across the territory as well as other intel from our High Resolution cameras and field crews play strategically out in the field in order to determine and recommend an all clear so crews can restore power for Northern California. Across the south it does look like the winds will taper off friday from 10 am to noon. That is when we expect to issue the all clear at noon on friday. Looking ahead, unfortunately for all of us, we appear to be stuck in a weather pattern conducive to these offshore wind patterns. We are looking at and continuing to monitor continuing offshore winds that could impact Northern California saturday night to monday afternoon. Some forecast models like the european models suggest that this could be the strongest wind event of the season. Unfortunately and potentially stronger than the october 911 event. A word of caution. Were several days out from that event. Right now it is looking like potential to be a significant event. And to add onto that, fuels at the surface are expected to dry out with this event we are going through right now. We do not anticipate any significant recovery in fuel moisture. We are anticipating fuels to be as dry if not dryer so it could have the potential to be a significant event this weekend. Predictive services is forecasting high risk of significant fires for this weekend event and high risk across multiple Predictive Service areas in Northern California. In talking with the National Weather service today, they are issuing fire weather watch as an red flag warnings for this Upcoming Event as well. Pg e meteorology is coordinating with her federal forecast Agency Partners and some of those Predictive Services as well as the National Weather service and i encourage you to check out their forecast. Some of them are available at www. Weather. Gov. That is it for weather. Back to you, keith. Bill . Good afternoon, everyone. I am the president and ceo of pg e corporation. We initiated a Public Safety power shut off across the sierra foothills and the northbay. We expect a turnout power for small parts of san mateo and kern counties after midnight tonight. In total these shutoffs will affect about 179,000 customers and touch portions of 17 counties. We made this decision in response to a dangerous combination of heart, dry, and windy conditions which sit together increase the damage of sparks on the electric system which has the potential to cause catastrophic wild fire. We dont want to see any more of those. Thats why we do these things. Not everyone who was out of power will experience the strong winds this got talked about. This is because the electric system relies on power lines working together to provide electricity across cities, counties, and the entire state. Think of the system of a large spiderweb. Regardless of whether youre seeing windy conditions , dangerous conditions exist somewhere connected to you. That is why you might not see yet, but you will experience it. Our first responsibility is to keep everyone safe. Our neighbors, families, communities we share. We do this to protect human life. We understand the hardship caused by these shutoffs. We understand the heartbreak and devastation of catastrophic wild fire. Those losses are forever and we are determined to prevent them. As we do that, we want to keep everyone informed the out our safety shut off so people can know whether they will be affected and for how long. First, we are working with our state agencies including cal oes, cpuc and cal fire many of whom are with us personally and are Operation Center and to them i say thank you. We have involved all of the county, local and tribal governments and the impacted areas holding briefing calls with those individuals three times a day. Our main webpage pg e. Com that has the tools and resources like address lookup, downloadable map files is fully operational and working normally. Our customer notification by email, text, and phone when out at 48, 24, and four hours in advanced. If we did not meet that exact timeframe it was because of changes to the forecast the cause slight changes to the scope of the event. Our call centers are very well staffed with short wait times. We want all of our customers and communities to be aware of the tools that we offer. We encourage customers to sign up to receive automated messages when a psp yes is called in their community. There will be another round of safety shut offs this week and into early next week and the timing isnt clear yet. We will have more to say about that at the end of the briefing. Theres a story swirling that we intend to keep our out for the entire two events that will be close together so we will not restore just let the power be out and that is not true. We expect to have the all clear by midday tomorrow. In kern, midday on friday. We intend to restore everybody before the next potential event gets here. I want to Say Something important to the thousands of employees and contractors who work hard every day and who are now out in the field preparing to do the hard work of inspecting our system and restoring power. Thank you for your work. Be careful. Be safe. Look out for each other. I say this because earlier today one of our employees was the target of what appears to be a deliberate attack. He was driving a pg e vehicle this is a live News Conference from pg es ceo, bill johnson. He is talking about the second power shut off that has occurred in the last two weeks. It is fully underway and will be progressing through the evening. When it hits its peak it will affect 179,000 customers. There could be a second event coming on the heels of this one do in saturday night and last until monday with high winds and according to pg e it could be the worst wind event of the season.
