Lately | Prepare Your Home Now For El Nino
Forecasters are calling it a "Super El Niño," and LA County officials are urging residents to get ahead of it now. With NOAA putting the odds of very strong weather events above 90%, heavier rainfall, coastal erosion, and stronger storms are expected to hit Southern California from December through March. The advice is simple: clear your gutters and storm drains, repair any roof leaks, and pick up sandbags before the first storm arrives. If you are near a hillside, canyon, or burn scar area, the risk of mudslides is elevated and preparation is especially critical. Sign up for emergency alerts at alert.lacounty.gov and do not wait.
