NV Energy Principal Meteorologist Alex Hoon spoke with ARC Reno this morning about Public Safety Outage Management (PSOM) during high wildfire risk periods. He outlined the reasons for temporarily shutting off power in certain areas due to elevated wildfire risks.
Hoon explained the distinctions between a PSOM Watch, Warning, and active event, and how customers will be notified in each scenario. He emphasized the importance of inspecting equipment and ensuring safety before restoring power.
