♻ Batteries are NOT trash!
After the holidays, many of us have new gadgets... and old batteries to deal with.
Never throw used batteries in the garbage or recycling bin. They can overheat, catch fire, or cause other hazards if not handled properly.
Keep your home and community safe by taking your used batteries to a designated drop-off location. Proper recycling helps prevent fires and protects the environment.

🚩Red Flag Warning in Effect🚩
The @Angeles_NF is under a red flag warning from Tue afternoon-Wed afternoon due to strong Santa Ana winds (increased winds and extreme fire risk) and critically dry conditions. This means EXTREME fire danger—a single spark can lead to devastating wildfires.
🔥Extended Staffing: Our firefighters are on high alert, ready to respond. Let’s do our part to prevent wildfires and keep everyone safe.
Stay informed and celebrate responsibly: https://t.co/DH7lJtzOBA
@NWSLosAngeles
🚨Significant fire weather with very strong winds likely in the days ahead. @NWSLosAngeles has issued Fire Weather Watches for a majority of LA County.
Now is the time to prepare! Sign up for emergency alerts, review your Ready, Set, Go! plan, and be ready for any evacuations.
@metrolosangeles@LACityDPW This is great, hopefully to increase shade and cooling perhaps even plant some trees nearby the transit stops and corridors. Also, way finding signage @metrolosangeles network mapping please!
Did you know...? A sign in El Prieto Canyon honors Robert Owens, formerly enslaved, who became the wealthiest African American in LA upon his death (1865). His family later became influential members in LA's African-American community. https://t.co/c605VNOA5G
