Security During Power Shutdowns
It’s happening across California—electric utility companies are shutting off power to help prevent fires. Entire neighborhoods are left in the dark—sometimes for days. During these shutoffs, security devices, if powered by electricity, are useless. Security doorbells, alarm systems, cameras and outside motion detector lighting are unable to function. It’s the perfect environment for crime.
We’ve come to rely on our electronic security and communications devices to keep us safe. Homes in neighborhoods without power are vulnerable. Burglars can enter residences knowing that nobody is monitoring their movements.
Security Guards To During Power Outages. When the power goes out, communities enlist the services of security guards to patrol neighborhoods to prevent theft and vandalism. Security guards, experienced in home and community protection, go down every street looking for anything out of the ordinary. They patrol day and night until the power returns.
Security guard companies during power shutdowns safeguard private communities, individual homes, retail stores—any location where electronic security systems inoperable during a blackout.
The Santa Ana winds can last through December. Odds are good that another major wind event will trigger more outages. Now is the time to be prepared.
