The city also urged residents to get ready for storm season: sign up for Alert LA County and city emergency alerts, clear gutters and drains, and pick up sandbags at Recreation Park ahead of forecasted rain. Because standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage and most flood policies take 30 days to take effect, residents are advised to review coverage at FloodSmart.gov.
