1. Look outside. SDG&E says if the street lights are on and your neighbor's house is lit, it's likely not an outage: it could be a tripped breaker.
2. Check the breaker panel, usually near the SDG&E meter. Unplug TVs, computers and medical devices first. If you see burn marks or hear buzzing, stop and call a licensed electrician.
3. Neighbors dark too? Report it: SDG&E's report page (24/7) or 1-800-411-7343. The map shows whether it's already known and the estimated restore time.
4. A line on the ground: stay away, don't touch it, call 911, then SDG&E. If a line falls on your car, SDG&E says stay inside until crews say it's safe.

SDG&E lists the usual causes: storms and high winds most commonly, then traffic accidents, damaged lines and planned maintenance. In fire weather it may also shut power off on purpose in high fire-threat areas (a Public Safety Power Shutoff); the shutoff status is in the table above. Shutoffs and heat waves: what to do.
