In this age of sensationalizing and clickbaity posts, we do our best to not embellish or exaggerate. The reason for this is because we want you all to take it seriously when we post important safety info. This is one of those posts.

Heavy rain is predicted for Thursday night into Saturday. This storm is predicted to have MORE rain than we experienced a few weeks ago. Nearly 4 inches of rain is predicted for our area. Clear out rain gutters, drains, and take appropriate precautions around your property including setting up sandbags to divert water away from low lying areas. Sandbags are available at Fire Station #106, Ernie Howlett Park, and Lomita City Hall. 

If the rain turns out to be similar to or worse than what we received in January, you can expect significant traffic delays related to flooding in the streets.

Emergency resources will be focused on responding to potentially life threatening situations and may not be able to respond to more routine calls for service in a timely manner.

Please take this seriously. Many people were caught by surprise during the last storm despite the persistent news coverage and were inundating 9-1-1 lines with requests for things that we can't help with during periods of high demand. Please prepare appropriately!
