Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis issued an emergency proclamation to prepare for the anticipated El Niño season and its risks of flooding, landslides and debris flows. County and state agencies are preparing supplies, emergency response systems and public guidance.
Solis said the proclamation is intended to strengthen coordination among county departments and state partners before storms arrive. County agencies are inspecting flood-control infrastructure, preparing sandbag distribution sites and making plans for possible evacuations, shelters and outreach to residents who may need additional help.
Gov. Gavin Newsom also proclaimed a statewide emergency, directing agencies to prepare equipment, protect infrastructure and expand public outreach. State officials said there is a greater than 90% chance of a very strong El Niño this fall and winter, and a 75% chance it could reach historic strength.
