How do I prepare for a power outage [Video]

SAN DIEGO — San Diego Gas & Electric has warned that approximately 55,000 customers across San Diego County may experience power shutoffs starting Monday night due to a Red Flag Warning. The precautionary measure aims to prevent potential wildfires as strong, gusty winds and low humidity create dangerous fire conditions through Wednesday evening.
