Nationwide Microsoft Outage Disrupts City Services in Two Southern California Cities: Culver City Hall Slowed, Rancho Palos Verdes Email Down

Thursday, November 12, 2026 · California · GSM News

The City of Culver City, in Los Angeles County, California, advised residents on November 12 that a reported nationwide Microsoft outage is causing technology-related service disruptions at City Hall, delaying some services and staff responses, while emergency services are unaffected.

Residents are encouraged to postpone nonessential in-person visits and use available online or telephone services instead, the city said, adding that further updates will follow as information becomes available. City Hall is at 9770 Culver Blvd.

At noon the same day, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, also in Los Angeles County, reported that its email system is impacted by the ongoing global Microsoft outage. Residents who need to reach city staff are asked to contact departments by phone or in person at City Hall, 30940 Hawthorne Blvd, during normal business hours, and a staff directory is available on the city website.

Neither city gave a restoration time in its advisory.
