Southern California Edison's Wildfire Prevention and Mitigation Program

As part of Southern California Edison's wildfire prevention and mitigation program, over the next few weeks, SCE will be conducting inspections in your neighborhood using drones and/or helicopters. SCE inspectors are using drones and helicopters to inspect equipment from difficult angles, and top-down angles for a 360-degree view.
The focus of these operations is to keep communities safe by inspecting electrical equipment on poles and towers and to identify any damage or potential hazard that may need immediate repair. See the video (link below) for details. The amount of time it takes to conduct inspections varies depending on how much equipment is on each pole or tower (approximately 30 to 60 minutes).
 
Questions? Please contact SCE's Customer Support Center at 1-800-655-4555.For more information on these efforts please visit Drones, Helicopters Help Mitigate Wildfires From the Sky | Energized by Edison.
