Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger is urging residents to remain vigilant as a powerful storm system moves through Los Angeles County, bringing periods of heavy rain and rapidly changing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStorm impacts can escalate quickly, especially for communities in foothill and mountain areas and those near recent burn scars,\u201d said Supervisor<\/strong> Kathryn<\/strong> Barger<\/strong>. \u201cI cannot stress this enough: if you live near burn areas or in foothill communities, you must stay alert and be prepared to act immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Supervisor Barger emphasized that areas impacted by recent wildfires face a heightened risk of flooding, mudslides, and dangerous debris flows, even during short periods of intense rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI urge residents to closely monitor official alerts and take evacuation warnings and orders seriously,\u201d Supervisor Barger said. \u201cIf an evacuation order is issued, leave immediately. Do not wait for conditions to worsen. Your safety and the safety of first responders depends on prompt action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Los Angeles County Emergency Operations Center has been activated to coordinate storm response efforts, ensure rapid communication among County departments, and deploy resources where needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Residents are encouraged to stay informed by monitoring local weather updates, following instructions from emergency officials, and checking on neighbors who may need assistance. Preparedness resources and storm safety information are available at ready.lacounty.gov<\/a>, and residents can sign up for emergency notifications at alert.lacounty.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Los Angeles County...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[37,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-others"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15289"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15290,"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15289\/revisions\/15290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacyf.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
