Homeowners Guide For Flood, Debris Flow, And Erosion Control
As we prepare for storm season, taking a few simple steps now can help protect your home, family, and property. The City of Los Angeles encourages residents to clear debris from drains and gutters, use sandbags to divert—not dam—stormwater, secure loose outdoor items, and inspect slopes for signs of erosion before heavy rain arrives. Homeowners in hillside areas should also maintain drainage systems, monitor retaining walls, and have emergency supplies ready before storms begin. Being prepared today can reduce the risk of flooding, debris flows, and erosion tomorrow. Learn more in the City of Los Angeles Homeowners Guide for Flood, Debris Flow, and Erosion Control.
