The Governor has proclaimed a state of emergency for most of Southern California including our own Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties.
When it comes to extreme weather events, preparedness is key. Please consider signing up for emergency response system warnings, which you can find here:
Orange County
Riverside County
San Bernardino County
San Diego County
Heavy rain and powerful winds are likely to prompt flash flooding conditions and possible power outages. Streets and highways may experience road closures, and local rivers and creeks in recent burn areas may be overwhelmed with excessive runoff debris flow.
Please adjust your travel plans accordingly to avoid dangerous driving conditions.
Several cities and counties are also offering resources such as sand bag distribution. Most post their assistance and resources on social media, and I encourage you to make use of what is offered.
Check your local news for updates in your region.
