Map of evacuation warnings, orders for LA County due to storm

Los Angeles County officials released an interactive map of evacuation warnings as a storm is passing through Southern California.

The heavy rain has the potential to cause flash flooding and trigger debris flows, especially near wildfire burn scars.

Los Angeles city and county officials issued a series of evacuation warnings and orders ahead of the storm.

The city of Los Angeles issued evacuation warnings through 11 p.m. Thursday for residents of Pacific Palisades and Mandeville Canyon near the Palisades Fire, and south of Runyon Canyon near the Sunset Fire area. The warning was extended until further notice for the Palisades, Sunset, and Hurst burn scar areas.

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said 126 homes within the city have been put under evacuation orders, and officers have been going door-to-door to alert those residents. He said an evacuation center will be available at the Stoner Recreation Center, 1835 Stoner Ave., in West Los Angeles.

Meantime, Los Angeles County officials issued evacuation warnings for residents near the Palisades, Eaton, Agua Dulce, Lidia, Franklin, Bridge, Canyon, Owen, Hurst and Kenneth fires. Sheriff's deputies were also going door-to-door to high-risk residences to notify them of evacuation orders.

Sheriff Robert Luna said that as of Tuesday morning, 124 homes in the sheriff's unincorporated coverage area were under evacuation orders. County Public Works Director Mark Pestrella said roughly 260 other homes in various incorporated cities -- including the city of Los Angeles -- were also under evacuation orders and will be visited by local police departments.

Luna urged residents to heed the evacuation orders and warnings, saying those who fail to do so are "putting your lives at risk.''

"Start preparing now,'' Luna said. "Identify important items such as medications, important documents, and other essential items in case you must leave quickly.''

He noted that once the rain begins, "debris from the burn scar areas may impede the roads, and it may be difficult to leave once the storm begins.''

"Do not wait until conditions become dangerous to act,'' Luna said.

He also urged people who may have elderly or disabled relatives in the warning areas to make sure they have communicated with them and... coordinated a plan to get them out.''
