Leaders said on Sunday that Southern California Edison had to deenergize power to the Portuguese Bend Community Association neighborhood in RPV.
After much thought and careful consideration, city officials said on Sunday that Southern California Edison had to deenergize power to the Portuguese Bend Community Association neighborhood in Rancho Palos Verdes due to land movement in the area. Decision to cut off power is 'unprecedented' 'Edison never wants to turn off the power to a customer unless it is absolutely necessary,' said Larry Chung with Southern California Edison during an afternoon press conference.
Residents should prepare to evacuate Residents were advised to not use water or plumbing after the power is shut off due to the threat of a possible sewer spill and to seek alternative housing and pack important documents, medications and any other essential items. Residents are encouraged to use the 'Know Your Zone' evacuation tool, which can be accessed here: https://pvpready.gov.
