圣贝纳迪诺图书馆系统联手南加州爱迪生：公共安全断电期间设社区资源中心
加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪诺县图书馆宣布与南加州爱迪生公司（SCE）建立合作关系：在公共安全断电（PSPS）事件期间，部分县立图书馆将开放为社区资源中心，为断电居民提供获取信息与支援的场所。
县政委员会主席、第三区县政委员 Dawn Rowe 说：「确保居民在紧急情况下能获得可靠的信息和社区资源，是加强全县公共安全的重要一环。县图书馆、南加州爱迪生与我们的应急管理伙伴携手合作，让居民在意外断电时能在离家近的地方找到支援。」
公共安全断电是电力公司在野火风险升高时采取的预防性措施，主动切断部分线路电源以降低电气设备引发野火的可能。断电会影响依赖电力通讯、获取信息和维持日常生活的居民。县图书馆馆长 Melanie Orosco 说：「在紧急情况下，社区里有一个安全、可信赖的去处会带来很大的不同。」
县应急管理局局长 Crisanta Gonzalez 表示，图书馆本就是社区公认的聚集场所，是断电期间为居民提供资源的天然选择；这项合作纳入县应急服务办公室（OES）统筹的全县应急响应框架。
县图书馆提醒，参与图书馆并不会在每次断电时自动启动，是否开放取决于具体事件的情况并与 SCE 协调；一旦启动，县府将公布开放的地点、时间与可用资源。居民可访问 library.sbcounty.gov 或拨打 909-387-2220 了解县图书馆系统的更多信息，并提前制定家庭应急计划、备齐应急物资。
San Bernardino Libraries Partner With SCE to Host Resource Centers During Power Shutoffs
The San Bernardino County Library in California has announced a partnership with Southern California Edison (SCE) under which select county library branches will open as community resource centers during Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events, giving residents without power a place to get information and support.
"Ensuring our residents have access to reliable information and community resources during emergencies is an important part of strengthening public safety across San Bernardino County," said Dawn Rowe, chair of the Board of Supervisors and Third District Supervisor. "By bringing together the County Library, Southern California Edison and our emergency management partners, we are expanding opportunities for residents to find support close to home when unexpected power disruptions occur."
A PSPS is a precautionary measure in which a utility intentionally shuts off power during periods of elevated wildfire risk to reduce the chance that electrical equipment sparks a wildfire. Outages can hit hard at residents who rely on electricity to communicate, get information and meet daily needs. "During an emergency, having a safe and trusted place in the community can make a tremendous difference," said County Librarian Melanie Orosco.
Crisanta Gonzalez, the county's director of emergency management, said libraries are already recognized and trusted gathering places, making them a natural resource for residents during power disruptions. The partnership sits within the county's broader emergency response coordination overseen by the Office of Emergency Services (OES).
The library stressed that participating locations will not automatically activate during every shutoff; activation depends on the circumstances of each event and coordination with SCE, and locations, hours and available resources will be announced when a center is activated. Residents can visit library.sbcounty.gov or call 909-387-2220 for information about the county library system, and are encouraged to prepare a household emergency plan and supplies in advance.
