Prepare for Emergencies: Family Plans and Supplies
Staff Report / LAXlocal.org
As National Preparedness Month concludes, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) emphasizes the importance of emergency readiness. With significant flooding reported in the Southern and Eastern regions and an ongoing risk of wildfires in the West, preparedness is essential for survival.
Residents are encouraged to create family evacuation and communication plans and assemble "Go Bags" with necessary supplies. The LAFD urges everyone to utilize available resources to ensure their families are prepared for emergencies.
