In advance of the expected rain in the coming days, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced preparedness measures the City has taken and urged Angelenos to take steps now to prepare, stay informed and utilize City resources to stay safe.
Over the past week, the City claims to have worked to repair more than 4,000 potholes, reinforce hills that are at risk of mudslides and prevent power outages by making repairs to underground equipment and vaults that had flooded during the previous storm.
City crews are on standby prepared to work through the holiday weekend to ensure Los Angeles is prepared for the coming weather. As the City continues to recover from the recent storm earlier this month, and in light of the predicted rain, Angelenos should be aware of the possibility of increased potholes, additional mudslides and power outages due to saturated grounds.
“We have been working diligently to recover from the storm that hit us earlier this month by covering potholes, protecting saturated land and more. Now, we must remain prepared for the additional rainfall coming to Los Angeles in the coming days,” said Mayor Bass.
