Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger issued the following statement today:
“Los Angeles County’s emergency response officials are closely monitoring the incoming Santa Ana wind and heat event. Beginning tonight, the County’s Emergency Operations Center will be activated to track conditions and coordinate resources in real time. I’ve been briefed by our emergency management team, and I want to reassure the public that we are ready to respond quickly to emerging needs.
Whether you live in a wildfire-prone area or not, I encourage all residents to stay vigilant.
High winds and warm temperatures can create rapidly changing conditions, so secure outdoor items, avoid any activities that could spark a fire, and check on neighbors who may be vulnerable or need assistance. Staying alert and prepared helps keep all of us safe.”
Residents can access emergency preparedness information in multiple languages for wildfires, power outages, and heat safety on ready.lacounty.gov.
