As of 8:30PM Saturday October 26th PG&E has begun to shut down power to Portola Valley for a Public Safety Power Shutoff due to extreme fire weather.

The shutoff is predicted to end on Monday, October 28th, provided the extreme weather event is concluded  but power will not be restored until PG&E is able to conduct a visual inspection of the power lines. Power restoration can be anywhere from 36 hours up to 5 days.
