Rain Events

High Winds

• Keep your car’s gas tank at least half full in case of evacuation. Expect traffic and delays.
• Never drive around barricades or through floodwaters. Floodwaters can be deeper than they appear and can sweep away your car. Turn around, don’t drown!
• Sandbags are available at the Torrance City Yard (20500 Madrona Ave.) on Mondays - Thursdays from 3 - 4 p.m. Call (310) 781-6900 to confirm staff availability.

• Trim trees and secure loose outdoor items to prevent damage or injury.
• Flying debris can be deadly. Stay indoors or in a sheltered area, and avoid driving if possible.
• Stay clear of trees and power lines. Never approach downed power lines or anything in contact with them, like branches or vehicles. Call 911.

Landslides

Power Outages

• Check your area for weak rocks, steep slopes, and prior runoff/mudflows. Your property is at higher risk.
