 Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning Issued in Los Angeles County
The National Weather Service has issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning for Los Angeles and Ventura counties from Monday, Jan. 20 to Tuesday, Jan. 21. Expect powerful and damaging winds, which can produce extreme fire conditions, including downed trees, power outages, and dangerous driving conditions. Be vigilant, be prepared, and stay safe.
Preparing to Return
Many residents are being permitted to return their property after the fires, but it will take longer for residents in some of the most heavily impacted communities.
- Eaton Fire: For full details on communities that can return, see LA County Sheriff's Nixle alert.
- Palisades Fire: For full details on communities that can return, see LA County Sheriff's Nixle alert.
Precautions When Returning Home After the Fire
Areas that have been affected by the wildfire are impacted by smoke, soot, ash, chemicals, water, and structural damage. Before entering any area heavily damaged or destroyed by a wildfire, be sure that officials have cleared the area and allowed entry.
Once you can enter a burned-out area, please take appropriate precautions and be aware of hazards to your health and safety when returning to a property.
