&lt;P&gt;Southern California Edison (SCE) crews are working to restore service in areas that lost power today because of increasingly severe rain storms.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As of 2:30 p.m. PST today, SCE had 44,560 customers without service. The hardest hit areas were:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Arrowhead communities - 2,847 customers 
&lt;LI&gt;Beverly Hills – 222 customers 
&lt;LI&gt;Inglewood – 4,100 customers 
&lt;LI&gt;Palos Verdes – 111 customers 
&lt;LI&gt;Torrance – 516 
&lt;LI&gt;Santa Barbara – 461 
&lt;LI&gt;Carson – 136

&lt;LI&gt;Lynwood – 1,170 
&lt;LI&gt;South Gate – 1,302

&lt;LI&gt;Camarillo – 1,087 
&lt;LI&gt;Oxnard – 615 
&lt;LI&gt;Lancaster – 291&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;SCE Preparation Steps&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;With the National Weather Service predicting a series of winter storms bringing heavy rain, high wind conditions, flooding in the burn areas and snow, SCE is taking the following precautionary steps to prepare for possible customer service interruptions:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;SCE and contract crews are mobilizing as outages occur and will work around-the-clock to restore power in areas that might be affected. 
&lt;LI&gt;SCE storm response personnel are on standby to support service restoration, ensuring that the utility has available inventories of material and&amp;nbsp; equipment for repair work. 
&lt;LI&gt;Additional SCE customer call center representatives will be activated to help answer customer calls in the event of increased outages. 
&lt;LI&gt;Customers can report outages by calling (800) 611-1911. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;Safety Reminders&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;With high winds, heavy rain and snow forecast in the coming days, SCE wants to remind its customers to be prepared in case of weather-related outages and suggests:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;If you know someone who is dependent on electrically operated medical equipment, make back-up power arrangements in case a power outage affects that equipment. 
&lt;LI&gt;Watch for traffic signals that may be out. Approach those intersections as four-way stops. 
&lt;LI&gt;If you see a power line on the ground, stay away. Do not touch it or try to remove it. 
&lt;LI&gt;Call SCE or local law enforcement. 
&lt;LI&gt;Make sure you have a battery-operated radio and flashlights. Check the batteries to make sure they are fresh. Use flashlights for lighting during a power outage; do not use candles because they pose a significant fire hazard. 
&lt;LI&gt;Do not use equipment designed for outdoor cooking indoors. Such equipment can emit carbon monoxide and other toxic gases. 
&lt;LI&gt;If you use a generator, place it outdoors and plug individual appliances directly into the generator, using a heavy-duty extension cord. Connecting generators directly to household circuits creates “backfeed,” which is dangerous to repair crews.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;###&lt;/P&gt;

					January 11, 2010 - Southern California Edison Announces $1 Million Green Jobs Education  Initiative for California Community Colleges
			</title>
			<link>

&lt;P&gt;ROSEMEAD, Calif., Jan. 11, 2010 — Southern California Edison (SCE) has launched a $1 million Green Jobs Education Initiative to fund sustainable or “green” education and job training at 10 California community colleges, solidifying a commitment to its core philanthropic priorities – education and the environment.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;“The Green Jobs Education Initiative holds the triple crown in our philanthropic portfolio. It will support education programs for college students, encourage environmental sustainability efforts and prepare skilled employees for the growing green jobs workforce,” said SCE President John R. Fielder. “It also has the additional economic benefit of supporting students and colleges facing crippling financial pressures.”&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;SCE will provide $100,000 to each of 10 selected colleges. Each college can then invest these funds in the California Community College Scholarship Endowment to receive an additional $50,000 match from the endowment’s lead benefactor, The Bernard Osher Foundation. As a result, this match to SCE’s gift will total $500,000 and be put to work supporting community college students in need across the state.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The 10 community colleges selected for Green Job Education Initiative funding are:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Cerritos College, Norwalk 
&lt;LI&gt;Cerro Coso Community College, Ridgecrest 
&lt;LI&gt;El Camino College, Torrance 
&lt;LI&gt;Golden West College, Huntington Beach 
&lt;LI&gt;Long Beach City College, Long Beach 
&lt;LI&gt;Los Angeles Southwest College, Los Angeles 
&lt;LI&gt;Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, Los Angeles 
&lt;LI&gt;Rio Hondo College, Whittier 
&lt;LI&gt;San Bernardino Valley College, San Bernardino 
&lt;LI&gt;Ventura College, Ventura&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The Green Jobs Education Initiative funding is designed to provide scholarships for dozens of students, each of whom will be awarded a $2,000 scholarship. The funding will support students with financial need who are enrolled in green job workforce preparation. This includes training programs or study of solar panel installation, water and wastewater management, transportation and alternative fuels, biofuels production and farming, environmental compliance or sustainability planning. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“Green jobs are an important emerging sector in our state,” said California Community Colleges Vice Chancellor of Economic Development and Workforce Preparation Jose Millan.&amp;nbsp; “This public-private partnership is a great example of what the private sector can do to help the state at a time when public funding and resources are scarce. Southern California Edison is helping hundreds of community college students receive valuable training, which will put them in jobs, pump up the state’s economy, and make our planet cleaner. We strongly commend this organization for its leadership in the educational and environmental areas.”&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;For more information about the Green Jobs Education Initiative, visit &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.edison.com/greenjobs&quot;&gt;www.edison.com/greenjobs&lt;/A&gt;.

&lt;P&gt;ROSEMEAD, Calif., Dec. 31, 2009 — In an effort to extend aid to thousands of Southern California Edison (SCE) customers, the utility’s parent company, Edison International, recently donated $300,000 to the utility’s Energy Assistance Fund. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The Energy Assistance Fund provides up to $100 a year to any income-qualified SCE customer to help pay electric bills. The fund would have been depleted by Dec. 31, but with the $300,000 donation, the fund can help families for an additional six to eight weeks into 2010. A recent survey reveals that about 12 percent of SCE customers, approximately 480,000 households, are facing serious financial difficulties and will have trouble paying their bills this year. Edison International also had made a $330,000 donation to the fund earlier in the year. In addition, employees personally gave more than $117,000 in 2009.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;“It is our hope that our contribution to the Energy Assistance Fund during this tough economic time touches as many families as possible,” said Barbara J. Parsky, Edison International’s senior vice president, Corporate Communications. “This is one of the many ways our company strives to help our customers.”&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Since 1982, the Energy Assistance Fund has helped thousands of SCE low-income families. In 2009, it served about 8,600 customers. The program is funded through voluntary donations made by Edison International shareholders, employees and SCE customers. United Way of Greater Los Angeles administers the funds for the company through 75 community-based organizations. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;SCE customers donated $58,000 directly in 2009, and contributed another $53,500 by designating their rebates for recycling refrigerators go to the fund. In addition to the Energy Assistance Fund, SCE also provides many other programs to help customers in need.&lt;/P&gt;
