Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is all-hands on deck responding to the impacts of the damaging winds in the City of Los Angeles. Water System crews are responding to the Pacific Palisades area to ensure availability of water supplies to support firefighting efforts. Electric crews are actively responding to restore power outages caused by high winds and flying debris.
As of 5:00 PM, 28,300 out of LADWP’s 1.5 million electric customers are without power. The communities with the most affected customers are Echo Park, Harbor Gateway, Glassell Park, Sawtelle, Harbor City, Mid-Wilshire, Studio City, Toluca Lake, Valley Village, Panorama City and North Hollywood. Since midday today when the windstorm began, LADWP has restored 24,400 customers.
Customers are urged to stay away and dial 9-1-1 if they see a downed power line. If you see a downed wire, always assume it is live. Do not assume a downed wire is a communication line, no matter its size. Never approach or touch any wire that is down or dangling and immediately report it by calling 9-1-1.
Customers are encouraged to sign up to receive outage alerts via text or email, in English or Spanish, report an outage, as well as check the status of any power outage in LADWP‘s service area by going online at www.LADWP.com/Outages.
Water System crews are also responding to the Pacific Palisades area to ensure availability of water supplies to support firefighting efforts. This area is served by water tanks and close coordination is underway to continue supplying the area. LADWP has crews onsite working alongside LAFD and the Palisades Fire Incident Command to ensure continued availability of water supply in the area.
The LADWP Emergency Center (EOC) is activated to coordinate our response across the organization and will operate 24/7 until our response returns to normal conditions.
We are also coordinating with City of LA Emergency Operations Center.
If customers experience an outage:
- Report outages online and track crew status at ladwp.com/outagesor by calling 1-800-DIAL-DWP (1-800-342-5397).
- Switch off all lights, except for one, so you will know when your power has been restored.
- Keep your refrigerator closed to keep food cold for longer.
- Check on vulnerable friends and neighbors to make sure they are safe.
Customers experiencing an outage can expect that a crew will respond in 4–12 hours. We are monitoring conditions closely and will adjust response times if it becomes necessary.
