Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced Wednesday morning that Los Angeles' Emergency Operations Center has been activated to a Level 2.

"What concerns me is the fact that the storms might be real intense for short periods of time," Bass said. "I know the police department was in Palisades door knocking to very specific residents who need to evacuate."

Bass urged Angelenos to be prepared.

"While we prepare for another storm headed towards L.A., I want to urge Angelenos to stay vigilant, especially in burn scar areas," Bass said in a statement. "My number one job is to keep Angelenos safe, so please heed all evacuation warnings, stay vigilant and stay informed."
