What better way to punctuate #wildfirepreparednessweek than with a few of @SBCOUNTYFIRE great firefighters, including my little brother and newest Captain

Involving our children and students in preparing for an unexpected event, like a wildfire creates confidence and helps to ensure the whole family is prepared. @edisonintl is proud to partner with @NTCshows to bring emergency prep learning to the home. https://t.co/zSWQMK7VrE

In an effort to reduce Public Safety Power Shutoffs, we are expediting grid hardening projects including replacing bare power lines with covered conductor. We estimate a 78% reduction in PSPS on these lines under similar weather conditions as last year. https://t.co/NJTHjTdsuo

[Chris Abel @SCE_ChrisA]

What is covered conductor? It is insulated material covering bare wire that significantly reduces the possibility of the power line sparking if contact occurs with an object. We plan to install an additional 1,000 miles of covered conductor in 2021. #wildfirepreparednessweek

Tech Alert: We are piloting the use of Rapid Earth Fault Current Limiters. These limiters can sense a disturbance on the grid like a downed wire and reduce the power flowing through the line. Check out the video. #WildfireTech https://t.co/kAybJgIZjQ
