PG&E outage blocks, seems to be a 50 which half of them are in and a 5O [View all]

If anyone here works for PGE or understands this, please chime in for a family member.

When you put their address in here

It says they are in 50 outage block, that half of PGE customers are in 50 and people in 50 are not likely to suffer rolling blackouts.

But it shows that 5O will be subject to, and I wanted to make sure there are actually two blocks, one as in the number fifty and one that is the number 5 followed by the letter O.

And are people in 50, fifty, less likely to have a PSPS (I know the website says they are not exempt) because they are on the same grid as emergency services like a hospital?
