BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Power customers are invited to attend online open houses on outage preparedness and wildfire prevention over the next month. Like in-person events the company hosts or participates in, online meetings will provide information to help customers prepare for outages and learn about Idaho Power’s wildfire prevention efforts, including its public safety power shutoff (PSPS) plan.

Idaho Power keeps the lights on 99.9% of the time, but extreme weather or wildfires can lead to extended outages. All customers should prepare to meet their unique needs in case of an outage. Visit idahopower.com/wildfire for more information.
