Using this new space, SDG&E will continue to leverage and develop partnerships with academia and community partners to advance and share wildfire and climate science to support safe and reliable operations in an electrified future.</p><p>This center will empower the community, our youth, local agencies and organizations to work together to address climate-related challenges and strengthen wildfire resilience and personal safety.</p><p>To learn more about SDG&E’s commitment to wildfire safety for the benefit of its customers, visit <a href="https://www.sdge.com/our-commitment-wildfire-safety">sdge.com/wildfire-safety</a>.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> </section> </main> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="site-footer"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="site-footer__bottom"> <section class="row region region-footer-fifth"> <div id="block-sdge-today-tokenblock" class="block block-token-block"> <div class="content"> <div class="row"><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8"><p><img src="/themes/custom/semorg2024/images/sdge-logo-white.svg" alt="SDGE Logo" width="156" height="47" loading="lazy"></p><ul class="links"><li><a class="ext" href="https://www.sdge.com" data-extlink="" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SDGE.com</a></li><li><a class="ext" href="https://www.sdge.com/residential/customer-service/contact-us" data-extlink="" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Contact Us</a></li><li><a class="ext" href="https://www.sdge.com/privacy" data-extlink="" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Privacy Center</a></li><li><a class="ext" href="https://www.sdge.com/terms-and-conditions" data-extlink="" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Terms of Use</a></li></ul></div><div class="col-sm-12 col-md-4"><h3>Connect with Us</h3><ul class="links social"><li><a class="icon-facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/SanDiegoGasandElectric/" target="_blank"><i class="fa-brands fa-facebook-f"></i>Facebook</a></li><li><a class="icon-youtube" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/sdgewebmaster" target="_blank"><i class="fa-brands fa-youtube"></i>Youtube</a></li><li><a class="icon-instagram" href="https://www.instagram.com/sdge/" target="_blank"><i class="fa-brands fa-instagram"></i>Instagram</a></li><li><a class="icon-twitter" href="https://twitter.com/SDGE" target="_blank"><i class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></i>Twitter</a></li><li><a class="icon-linkedin" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/sdge/" target="_blank"><i class="fa-brands fa-linkedin"></i>Linkedin</a></li></ul><p>© 1998-2025 San Diego Gas & Electric</p></div></div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> <script type="application/json" data-drupal-selector="drupal-settings-json">{"path":{"baseUrl":"\/","pathPrefix":"","currentPath":"node\/5391","currentPathIsAdmin":false,"isFront":false,"currentLanguage":"en"},"pluralDelimiter":"\u0003","suppressDeprecationErrors":true,"statistics":{"data":{"nid":"5391"},"url":"\/core\/modules\/statistics\/statistics.php"},"ajaxTrustedUrl":{"\/search\/node":true},"ckeditor5Premium":{"isMediaInstalled":true},"user":{"uid":0,"permissionsHash":"63734ca011caca3f88280292d107e2f567a8b22a664c14f5b20491cdd0100a19"}}</script> <script src="/core/assets/vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js?v=3.7.1"></script> <script src="/core/misc/drupalSettingsLoader.js?v=10.3.6"></script> <script src="/core/misc/drupal.js?v=10.3.6"></script> <script src="/core/misc/drupal.init.js?v=10.3.6"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/aos@2.3.1/dist/aos.js"></script> <script src="/sites/default/files/asset_injector/js/external_links_in_new_window-0e1da8bf00b08fa4d752df1fc5bbf5e5.js?stmzyd"></script> <script src="/themes/contrib/bootstrap_barrio/js/barrio.js?v=10.3.6"></script> <script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.2.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script> <script src="/themes/custom/sdge_today/js/global.js?v=10.3.6"></script> <script src="/core/modules/statistics/statistics.js?v=10.3.6"></script> <script src="/modules/contrib/bootstrap_styles/js/plugins/scroll_effects/build.js?v=1.x"></script> </body> </html>
