I just heard it on KFBK radio and there are stories on SF Gate and elsewhere.
The story below lists where they intend to cut power at 4 am Thursday.
Much of the state is on high fire danger today with winds as high as 50mph.

Bay Area cities prepare for possible PG&E power shutoff
Cities boning up for seven days without power; San Jose says specific information coming later today

As possible power shutoffs loom across much of the Bay Area, cities are preparing to help thousands of residents survive without power for up to seven days.

Utility PG&E issued shutoff warnings on Monday that could affect an estimated 600,000 PG&E customers, including about 257,000 in the Bay Area, starting early Wednesday morning. The warnings come on the heels of a “strong and dry wind event” that has increased the risk of wildfire midweek, the utility said.

That’s left cities readying for a power shutoff that may affect thousands of residents for days at a time.

“If this is a short power shutoff, it shouldn’t be serious at all,” San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said in an interview with this news organization on Monday. “On the other hand, if it lasts several days, then we should all be concerned.”


Various cities in the South Bay, including San Jose, Fremont and Los Altos, have kept residents up-to-date with a stream of Twitter, Facebook and Nixle posts, plus website updates.

But it’s still not entirely clear which areas, among the swath of warnings, may ultimately be affected by the shutoff, or for how long. The city of San Jose will receive an update from PG&E at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, said Emergency Operations Center spokesperson Kate Ziemba, and the city will provide more information about potential school district closures later today.

Starting Wednesday, Ziemba said, PG&E will open a resource center at Avaya Stadium  at 1145 Coleman Ave. from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for the duration of the shutoff. The center will provide water, charging stations, air conditioning and up-to-date information.

The city will continue to provide police and fire services through any shutoff, Ziemba said, but asks that residents call 911 only for emergencies, not for information.

In Fremont, meanwhile, staff plan to to receive updates directly from the utility at 11 a.m., said the city’s public affairs manager Geneva Bosques. Officials have so far been informed of possible shutoffs in the northeast portion of Fremont, including the Niles Canyon area.

“Right now, what we’re recommending is that everyone sign up for Nixle … to make sure that everyone has access to emergency communication channel,” Bosques said, adding that residents should check in on elderly neighbors and people who may not use social media.

To prepare for the shutoff, residents should sign up for to receive alerts from PG&E at www.pge.com/psps, take refrigerated medicine or food to a friend or relative, and prepare an emergency kit with one gallon of water per day for each person and pet, non-perishable or canned food for 7 days and can opener, a battery- or solar-powered radio, batteries, a first aid kid and backup batteries.
