SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Thousands of San Diego County residents are bracing themselves Monday for a possible loss of power service with fire weather conditions in the forecast for the region.
Nearly 55,000 San Diego Gas & Electric customers in numerous parts of the county are being warned to prepare for potential Public Safety Power Shutoffs with a Red Flag Warning taking effect Monday afternoon.
The National Weather Service’s Red Flag Warning is due to another round of strong Santa Ana winds for much of the county.
SDG&E’s warning is the utility’s third in just over a month; the company said the shutoffs are necessary to prevent wildfires during high wind conditions.
On Monday, ABC 10News stopped by a mobile home park in Santee that may be affected this week. Residents like Marlena Brown shared it's essential to have a plan in place.
"I just have all my important documents in one place," said Brown, who added she has water and a first aid kit in her car as well.
