🌧️ DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE STORM.
Southern California may not be known for hurricanes, but Tropical Storm EL Nino reminded us that tropical weather can bring serious hazards to Los Angeles County.
Heavy rainfall can quickly lead to flash flooding, mud and debris flows, rockslides, dangerous road conditions, downed trees and power outages.
Know your risk. Know your plan.
✔️ Prepare your emergency supplies
✔️ Secure loose outdoor items
✔️ Charge your phones and backup batteries
✔️ Know your evacuation routes
✔️ Monitor official weather and emergency information
✔️ Sign up for Alert LA County
🌧️ WHO SHOULD BE ESPECIALLY PREPARED?
If you live near a river, creek, wash, drainage channel, low-lying area, mountain or recently burned hillside, you may be at greater risk.
But remember — flooding and dangerous road conditions can affect areas far beyond traditional flood zones.
BEFORE THE STORM:
✔️ Clear leaves and debris from gutters and storm drains around your property.
✔️ Bring outdoor furniture, decorations and loose items inside.
✔️ Check your vehicle’s tires, brakes and windshield wipers.
✔️ Charge your phones and backup batteries.
✔️ Have flashlights, batteries, food, water and medications available.
✔️ Know multiple routes out of your neighborhood.
✔️ Make sure you can receive emergency alerts.
✔️ Check on family members, neighbors and anyone who may need additional assistance.
✔️ Don’t forget your pets.
DURING THE STORM:
⚠️ TURN AROUND. DON’T DROWN.
Never drive or walk through moving or flooded water.
Just 6 inches of moving water can knock an adult off their feet, and deeper water can sweep away vehicles.
🚫 Never drive around barricades.
🌊 Stay away from rivers, washes, creeks, flood-control channels and areas experiencing flooding.
🏔️ Stay alert for mud and debris flows, especially near recently burned areas.
📱 Monitor official emergency alerts and weather information.
If you’re told to evacuate — don’t wait. Leave when instructed.
A storm can change conditions in minutes. Don’t wait until the water is rising to make a plan.
🌊 Never drive or walk through moving water.
TURN AROUND. DON’T DROWN.
Prepare now. Stay informed. Stay safe.
@BreakingNews Wow. That was quick. It seemed like it was going to drag on for years 🥴. You might as well save the money to transport him to court and delay their trials another 25 DARN years.
@ailanyus No. We're all legal and don't attack ice. However, it's Pretti Good you brought this up, ICE DID NOT Murder anyone. Read, understand and KNOW THE LAW.
@lisa_remillard1 Why yes. That’s plausible. I heard Dr Jill will be her running mate. Kamala said she’d add 2 more seats to the Supreme Court Bench. She’s nominating Jim Beam and a Johnny Walker. GTFOH wit dis 💩
Have heard from multiple sources over the last couple of days that several complaints have formally been filed with CALeg's HR against Terry Schanz, Chief of Staff to LA Assemblywoman Tina McKinnor.
I've also been told that Schanz will face consequences for how he behaved here
@Kimberlyvrn Jill Biden is perhaps the best yet most under-appreciated doctor in the country. It’s disgusting how the Right tries to discredit her many, fine achievements.
