Flex Alerts
Voluntary calls for consumers to conserve electricity
|
|
During the summer season, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) will issue Flex Alerts to encourage electricity conservation, reduce stress on the grid, and avoid power outages.
A Flex Alert is typically issued in the summer when extremely hot weather pushes up energy demand as it reaches available capacity. This usually happens in the evening hours when solar generation is going offline and consumers are returning home and switching on air conditioners, lights, and appliances.
If demand outstrips supply after Flex Alerts and other measures are taken, the ISO could again order utilities to begin rotating power outages. That would extend available power supplies and guard against longer and more extensive disruptions while protecting high-voltage transmission lines from damage.
As California’s ability to store solar and wind energy with batteries or other technology continues to increase, the crucial evening hours will be less challenging. But for now, concerted action to conserve is our most effective way of keeping the grid working for everyone.

CHIEF'S CORNER | BACK-TO-SCHOOL
|
|
The month of August means that summer is ending, and school is returning to session. As parents, students, and teachers return to in-person instruction, the Beaumont Police Department extends a friendly reminder to all drivers to be mindful of driver and pedestrian safety.
We will have officers present in the school zones during the morning and afternoon hours. We will maintain high visibility to remind parents and other motorists alike in our community that our children’s safety is a priority. Our objective is to remind drivers to drive slowly and attentively when children are present and to be mindful of bus safety rules.
The Beaumont Police Department asks drivers to review these back-to-school safety tips:
- Never pass a school bus from behind while it’s loading or unloading children. Drivers must stop (at least 10 feet from the front or the rear of the bus) if the lights on the bus are flashing and the stop arm is extended.
- Always follow the speed limit in school zones.
- Stop for pedestrians, bicyclists and/or crossing guards assisting students and parents crossing the street.
- Be alert, don’t text and drive or otherwise use cellular devices while driving.
- If you’re dropping a student off, make sure to drop off on the same side of the road as the school. Do not double park or park in fire or no parking zones.
- Exercise caution when putting your car in reverse. Check your blind spots for children on the sidewalk, in the driveway and around your vehicle before slowly backing up.
- Plan ahead, be patient and try to carpool, when possible, to reduce the congestion and frustration that back-to-school traffic can bring.
