Streets may be flooded or blocked by debris in the communities affected by the Eaton, Palisades, Bridge, Hurst, Kenneth, Hughes, Sunset, Lidia, and Franklin fires. Residents in these areas should pay close attention to local news reports, sign up for emergency alerts and be prepared to evacuate if directed to do so by law enforcement officials. In coordination with partner agencies, LA County will inform individuals experiencing homelessness who may be at increased risk during the storms.
L.A. County Public Works will mobilize storm patrols to monitor vulnerable communities and ensure flood control systems are prepared. Stormwater facilities are also ready to capture and conserve water for groundwater recharge. With just over a month remaining in the region’s traditional storm season (October to April), Downtown Los Angeles has received only five inches of rainfall since Oct. 2024. The annual average is 15.4 inches.
L.A. County Public Works will continue to assess conditions and provide updates on potential debris flow risks and other storm-related impacts. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official County channels and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
