NEWS from SDGE
Emergency Preparedness for Businesses
With the days growing longer and the weather growing warmer, many San Diegans welcome the change of season with vacations, beach days and BBQs. Although this season can be fun, let's not forget how dangerous elevated temperatures can be. Moisture, high heat and wind tend to the perfect recipe for fire season. Are you prepared to protect your facility?
 
Remember, not all fires are created equally and must be addressed differently. To ensure your business is protected and equipped with the proper extinguisher, follow the guidelines below:
  • Class A - required for ordinary combustibles
  • Class B  - required for gasoline and solvents
  • Class C - Required for electrical equipment and wiring
Check out FIRE SAFETY TIPS for more information.

Consider Offering EV Charging Amenities
Have you been receiving requests for electrical charging stations from your employees or tenants? Wondering how to get them installed?
 
SDGE has a program - POWER YOUR DRIVE. It;s goal is to install 3500 vehicle charging stations in 350 locations (workplaces, apartments and condos)
