Hurricane Hilary is likely to make landfall in Los Angeles as a tropical storm, bringing heavy rains and potential flooding. Here's what you can do now to prepare, and how to stay safe when the storm arrives.
The safest place to be during a storm is in your home. Don’t make any trips beyond what’s absolutely necessary.If you venture out in your car, bring extra food, water, a phone charger and a first aid kit, along with enough clothing and blankets to stay warm.The weather service has a saying for what to do when you see a flooded street or road: Turn around, don’t drown.
Just 6 inches of moving water can take down an adult or reach the bottom of a car and cause a loss of control and stalling. Two feet of water can sweep a vehicle off the road .Don’t use a grill indoors, don’t run a generator indoors, and if you use your gasoline-powered car to charge your phone or another device, make sure you have adequate ventilation. If you need lights, use flashlights or other battery-operated sources, not candles.
