El Niño can bring periods of heavy rain, flooding, and hazardous road conditions across Los Angeles. 🌧️

Take time now to prepare your home, check your emergency supplies, and make sure your household knows what to do before the next storm arrives.

✅ Clear gutters and drains
✅ Stock your emergency kit
✅ Monitor local weather alerts
✅ Never drive through flooded roadways

Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

Preparedness starts before the storm.
