Hi ,

In advance of the expected storm starting Sunday, I want all Angelenos to stay safe, stay informed and plan to stay home on Sunday night when the storm is expected to be the worst.

We know the severe impact that weather can have on our communities, and we have been working to make sure Los Angeles is prepared on behalf of our residents, including unhoused Angelenos living on our streets, to get through this storm with common sense precautions.

Please continue to visit Emergency.lacity.gov for updates on the storm.

SMART also works closely with LAFD and Los Angeles County’s Urban Search and Rescue/SwiftWater teams for animal related rescues during heavy rains.
