UPCOMING FORECAST PROMPTS POTENTIAL RED FLAG CONDITIONS AND HIGH SURF WARNINGS, INCREASING RISKS FOR LA COUNTY COMMUNITIES

?

*Los Angeles, CA**?*? The National Weather Service has issued the potential for Red Flag fire weather conditions for Los Angeles County tomorrow, Saturday, December 9, 2023, to Sunday, December 10, 2023.

Due to the high surf beginning today, there is a potential for dangerous rip currents, which can increase the risk of ocean drowning.

Strong Santa Ana Winds through Sunday will affect widespread portions of Los Angeles County.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department is alert and preparing for these conditions through augmented staffing.

As always, we remind residents living in wildfire-prone areas to take appropriate precautions:


* _See something, say something_.? Report any sign of smoke or fire immediately to your local fire department by dialing 9-1-1.? If you dial 9-1-1 from your cell phone, be sure to know your location.
* _Have your "Ready! Set! Go!" Wildfire Action Plan in place_.? It is critical for residents to be familiar with the "Ready! Set! Go!" program that provides important pre-planning and evacuation information.
* _Prepare for Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS)_.? During elevated weather conditions, utility companies may temporarily shut off power in high-risk areas.? Please plan for this possibility and consult with your local utility company for more information.
