Stay safe and stay alert.

The Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation, Department of Water and Power, Fire Department, Police Department, and Department of Transportation have activated wet weather and emergency response protocols. Crews are monitoring storm drains, responding to blockages, restoring power, clearing downed trees, and addressing flooding and roadway hazards as conditions change.
Here is how you can help reduce storm impacts and stay safe:
  • Report flooding, clogged storm drains, fallen trees, or street hazards by calling 311 or LA Sanitation at 800-773-2489
  • Avoid parking on streets prone to flooding. Parked cars block storm drains and increase flood risk
  • Limit travel whenever possible
  • If driving is necessary, slow down and never drive through flooded streets
  • Treat all downed power lines as live and dangerous
  • Report power outages to LADWP at 1-800-342-5397 or ladwp.com/outages
  • For life-threatening emergencies or fast-moving water, call 911
Residents near hillsides, canyons, or areas with prior fire damage should remain alert for mud or rock movement and be prepared to move to higher ground if conditions worsen. The Los Angeles Fire Department offers up to 25 free, ready-to-fill sandbags year-round at all Neighborhood Fire Stations. Call ahead to confirm availability. City crews continue coordinating around the clock to keep storm drains, streets, and rights of way clear. Residents are encouraged to sign up for emergency alerts at NotifyLA.org to receive real-time updates by text or email.
