Agoura Hills: SCE Considering Potential Public Safety Power Shutoff for Agoura Hills and Surrounding Areas
Agoura Hills is a city in Los Angeles County, California. According to a municipal notice posted on the City of Agoura Hills official website on October 13, 2026, Southern California Edison (SCE) is considering a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) for Agoura Hills and surrounding areas. The notice appeared at the top of the city's news list that day. City Hall is located at 30001 Ladyface Court.
A Public Safety Power Shutoff is a preventive measure used by utilities during high winds and dangerous fire conditions. In its PSPS information, SCE states that when high winds and dangerous fire conditions are forecast, it may shut off power in some areas to decrease the risk of wildfires. The city's wording is that a shutoff is being considered; as of the posting, no shutoff had been carried out, and any decision depends on actual weather and circuit conditions.
SCE states that power restoration typically begins after winds subside and takes about eight hours, and may be delayed if daylight is required for safe inspections. Agoura Hills is located in northwestern Los Angeles County in the Santa Monica Mountains, an area of elevated wildfire risk. SCE publishes its outage map and PSPS updates on its website.
