BOULDER COLORADO

"December 16, 2025, 1:15 PM Alert

Boulder Office of Disaster Management (ODM) is sharing messaging from Xcel Energy regarding a Public Safety Power Shutoff. This shutoff is a preventive action taken during periods of elevated wildfire risk to reduce the chance of power lines starting a fire.

Power outages may last 24 to 72 hours, and possibly longer depending on weather conditions and required safety inspections before power can be restored.

Boulder’s Office of Disaster Management’s role is to share what this means for the community, how to prepare, and how to stay safe.

What to Expect

Power is expected to shut off mid-day on Wednesday, Dec. 17

Outages may last multiple days

Restoration timing depends on weather and safety inspections

Impacts will vary across urban and rural areas

The restoration timeline may change based on Xcel’s ability to inspect and re-energize lines..."

On the plus side, my laundry dried instantly overnight in the dark due to the extreme lack of humidity around here. #CAwx #heatwave #RedFlagWarning

Per my personal wildfire safety protocol during Red Flag Warnings, setting up the cot in the office so I can sleep with the scanner on. No wind right now, however. I need to tie something with more surface area on my early warning bicycle-chain wind chime to increase its wind catching ability, too. #RedFlagWarning #FireWx #CAwx #VenturaCounty
