POTENTIAL COASTAL FLOODING 
FORECAST FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND 
COUNTY URGES RESIDENTS AND 
BEACHGOERS TO STAY ALERT TO 
POSSIBLE DANGERS 

Los Angeles, CA - As Los Angeles County observes the 
traditional end of the summer season this Labor Dayholiday weekend, County officials caution residents and 
visitors to be mindful of the weather forecast and associated 
risks when participating in outdoor recreation, especially 
near local beaches and coastlines. 

While Southern California will not experience landfall from 
Hurricane Marie as it tracks well away from our coast, the 
National Weather Service – Los Angeles/Oxnard Office 
states that tropical influences will still impact the region in 
the form of dangerous rip currents, high surf and coastal 
flooding, especially along south-facing shores. Additionally, 
moderate risk of light rain and isolated thunderstorms 
over the weekend may dampen outdoor plans and create 
hazardous road conditions as people travel throughout the 
region to partake in activities. 

Here are some recommendations to keep you and your 
families safe: 

Beach safety

• Check in with the nearest lifeguard for daily ocean 
conditions and hazards before entering the water.
• Know your limits, swim or surf in front of an open 
lifeguard tower and never swim or surf alone.
• Keep a safe distance from piers and stay off of rocks 
and jetties.
• Never turn your back to the ocean. 
• Stay out of the water near storm drains or areas 
identified by the Department of Public Health under Ocean 
Water Use Warnings. 
Rain safety

• Follow all instructions from emergency responders 
and emergency alert notifications.
• Ensure your vehicle is safe to operate during wet 
weather. Make sure your tires, brakes, and windshield 
wipers are in proper working condition. Drive cautiously 
and slow down. Many roadways will be wet and slippery.
• Stay away from flood control channels, catch basins, 
canyons, and natural waterways vulnerable to floodingduring periods of heavy rain.
• Do not attempt to cross flooded areas and never 
enter moving water on foot or in a vehicle. As little as 6 
inches of water can knock over and carry away an adult, 
and 18-24 inches of water can carry away most large SUVs, 
vans and trucks. “Turn around, don’t drown!”
• If flooding traps you in your vehicle, stay in your 
vehicle (if possible) and call 9-1-1.
• Keep at least 100 feet away from downed power lines 
and electrical wires. Call 
9-1-1 to report downed lines. 
Residents are encouraged to take precautions to keep 
themselves and others safe as they enjoy the last bit of 
summer in Los Angeles County. Remember to monitor 
radio and TV news closely for information about weather 
conditions and the potential for flooding in your area.
