Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) operates a Geographic Zones Map to help communities understand local wildfire risks and Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) protocols.

The program is informed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) High Fire Threat Map. 

In Nevada and Placer Counties, PG&E designates service areas under Zone 5, indicating elevated wildfire threat levels.

Services include

• Zone-based maps for PG&E service areas
• Identification of areas subject to PSPS due to wildfire risk

Additional notes

Maps are updated in coordination with state-level fire safety authorities. Zone designations help residents prepare for outages and understand regional fire risk levels.
