LA County Braces for Severe El Niño and Flood Risk

LA County emergency officials say they’re preparing for a potentially historic El Niño this winter, with forecasters predicting a strong event and elevated flood risk from heavy rains, coastal tides, and the moon’s declination. Inland areas near creeks and burn-scarred hillsides face mudslides and flash flooding, while officials inspect flood-control infrastructure and plan an El Niño response drill on Sept. 13. Residents are urged to buy flood insurance, fix roofs, and ensure drains are working. While El Niño doesn’t guarantee a deluge, warming seas and climate-change effects are increasing the risk.
