Algae & your dog Checking state bloom reports…

Big Bear Lake sits at a caution level for algae all year. Blue-green algae can be fatal to dogs.

Whatever the level: keep dogs out of scum, mats and discoloured water, do not let them drink from the lake, and rinse them off afterwards. If your dog swallows scum, call a vet straight away.

Who has power right now

Checking…

Bear Valley Electric rarely posts an outage while it is happening, so this is neighbours telling each other. An area appears here once several separate people in it report an outage — one report on its own stays private.

Power on, or nothing reported Outage reported

Is your power out?

Pick your area. It takes one tap and nothing is asked of you — no name, no address, no email.

Reports drop off the map after three hours unless somebody reports again. This is not an official source, and it is not a substitute for reporting the outage to BVES.
