The Madera County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services says power outages are affecting several mountain communities following recent storms. Neighborhoods impacted include Sugar Pine, Central Camp, Pine Ridge Road, and Rock Point Road.

The county’s Emergency Operations Center has been active since the storm began, coordinating response efforts and monitoring conditions, including roadway access and the needs of vulnerable residents. Officials say they are working closely with PG&E to support safe and timely power restoration.

Authorities urged residents to treat all downed power lines as energized, use generators only outdoors and away from doors or windows, and check on neighbors, particularly seniors and those with medical needs.

Residents are advised to report outages directly to PG&E and monitor official channels for updates.
