Drive Safe in the Rain
With rain in the forecast, take extra care on wet roads. Rain reduces visibility and makes roads slick, increasing the risk of collisions.
Here are some tips to stay safe:
• Slow down – wet pavement takes longer to stop on.
• Turn on headlights – see and be seen.
• Increase following distance – give yourself extra space to brake.
• Avoid sudden moves – brake, turn, and accelerate gently.
• Never use cruise control in the rain.

If You’re Lost, Stop Moving
One of the most important things you can do if you become lost in the wilderness is simple: stop moving.
Searching for a moving person is much harder than searching for someone who stays in one location.

Attention, #LCF! Today marks the start of California Flood Preparedness Week, and with a Super El Niño potentially on the horizon, now is the time to safeguard your property. 🌧️
Heavy and continuous rains can lead to unexpected flooding, debris flows and mudslides. Here are a few ways the #LCF community can prepare: clear gutters of debris, have sandbags ready, prepare an emergency kit and sign up for local weather alerts at LCF.ca.gov/Alerts. 💧
The #CityOfLCF is providing 24-hour access to sand and sandbags at the following locations:
✔️ LA County Fire Station #19 (1729 Foothill Blvd.) – sandbags only
✔️ LA County Fire Station #82 (352 Foothill Blvd.) – sandbags only
✔️ Camp 2 (4810 N. Oak Dr.) – sand and sandbags
✔️ Top of Ocean View Blvd. (2191 Highrim Road) – sand only
➡️ For additional temporary sandbag distribution sites in Los Angeles County, visit PW.LACounty.gov/DSG/Sandbags.
Taking these steps today can make all the difference for your home and family this winter!

The wet weather may be over for now, but when the next storm comes, remember to keep your speed down and your following distance up while driving in the mountains.
Yesterday, we were doing an article search with @AltadenaMRT in Big Tujunga Cyn when we were dispatched to a vehicle over the side on Angeles Forest Hwy near MM 20.72. Thankfully, the driver was okay.
Wet weather makes mountain roads even more hazardous. Slow down, increase
We are excited for the @NASAJPL Explore JPL event!
The safety of all attendees and the surrounding community is a top priority. Please be mindful of increased vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area of JPL.
If you see something, say something and we thank you for your help ensuring a safe event.

This Sunday, Montrose SAR responded to four motorcycle-down calls in the Angeles National Forest, including one rider who went over the side on Angeles Crest Hwy near MM 26.78.
ACH is not a racetrack. Slow down, ride within your limits, and save the canyon carving for the track.

Hot weekend ahead. Hiking is questionable in this heat, but for dogs the answer is simple: leave them home.
Dogs overheat quickly and hot dirt and rocks can burn their paws. They may also keep going long after they should stop.
Wait for cooler weather
