Long Beach Storm – Rain – Flood – High Tide Warning Tips

Heavy rain and flooding in Long Beach Warning

 

Significant amounts of rain are expected by Friday and Saturday in Long Beach, and more rain in  the foothill areas of Southern California. Thunderstorms are possible and high tides are expected on both  Friday and Saturday.

 

Be Prepared for Winter Storms

Cooler temperatures, fog, wind, and rain are here.  Significant amounts of rain are expected by Friday and Saturday in Long Beach, and more in the foothill areas of Southern California. Thunderstorms are possible.
City of Long Beach Public Works Staff has prepared the city for winter rains by clearing 3,800 catch basins; cleaning and testing 26 pump stations as well as preparing response teams to address any storm related issues that might arise.  Parks, Recreation and Marine staff has prepared the beaches and waterways for the winter storms by building berms to protect low-lying sections of the beach; installing debris booms to prevent trash from entering the marina areas; maintain storm run-off culverts on the beaches, and monitoring the lake and lagoon water levels to prevent flooding.
The rainfall is forecast to coincide with high tides, and city staff will be monitoring water levels in Naples to mitigate any flooding if possible.
Now is the perfect time for residents to prepare your home and family for the upcoming winter storms, as well as major emergencies in general; here are some suggestions to keep you and your family safe before, during and after a significant incident.   

Heavy Rain from storm to cause flooding in Long Beach.

 

Before a Severe Storm…
Take the following precautions:
· Keep copies of insurance policies, important documents as well as other valuables in a safe place and in a water resistant container.  Consider a safe-deposit box for critical documents or items.
· Consider purchasing flood insurance coverage for homeowners or renters.
· Store emergency supplies and contact information in a handy location at work and home.   Consider storing some items in your car as well.

· Build an “Emergency Kit” and make a family Communications Plan.  An emergency kit will serve you well in a storm, an earthquake or any other disaster scenario.  Visit the following websites for more information on preparing your emergency kit and your communications plan: www.redcross.org/, www.fema.gov/, or www.calema.ca.gov/
· Keep your car fueled and some cash on hand. If electric power is cut off, filling stations and ATM’s might not be able to operate.
· Know safe routes from your home or office to high, safe ground.
· Consider keeping some water proofing materials handy for emergency repairs, including sandbags, plastic sheeting, plywood or lumber, duct tape, etc.
Sand and Sandbags – Sand is currently available at the Long Beach Public Works/Public Service Yard, 1651 San Francisco Ave., at the Esther Street Gate.Tomorrow afternoon, sand will be available at the following Long Beach Fire Stations:
· Station No. 7, 2295 Elm Ave.
· The Old Station No. 12, 6509 Gundry Ave.

· Station No. 14, 5200 E. Eliot St.
Empty sandbags are available at all neighborhood Fire Stations, except the new Fire Station 12.   

Heavy rain and flooding in Long Beach Warning

 

During A Severe Storm…
Use these guidelines:
· Tune to local radio or television stations for emergency information and instructions from local authorities.  In an emergency KKJZ 88.1 FM will broadcast information to the Long Beach community.
· Avoid areas that are subject to sudden flooding.
· Do not try to walk across a flowing stream of water where the water is near or above your knees.
· Avoid unnecessary trips. If you must travel during the storm, dress in warm, loose layers of clothing. Advise others of your destination and estimated arrival time.
· Keep pets inside and ensure they have shelter from the storm.
· Be especially cautious driving at night when it is harder to recognize flood dangers.   If you are driving:
o Know this – Six inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars causing loss of control and possible stalling.  A foot of water will float many vehicles.  Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles including sport utility vehicles (SUV’s) and pick-up trucks.
o Do not attempt to drive through a flooded road. The depth of water is not always obvious. The roadbed may be washed out under the water, and you could be stranded or trapped.
o Do not drive around a barricade.  Barricades are there for your protection. Turn around and go the other way.
o Slow down for traffic officers at intersections with non-working signal lights.  Treat all non-working traffic signal lights at intersections as stop signs.  Be aware of utility workers working in or near the road.
o Do not sightsee in flooded areas. Do not try to enter areas blocked off by local authorities.
· If advised by local authorities to leave your home, do not delay leaving.  Move to a safe area before access is cut off by floodwater.  Before leaving, disconnect all electrical appliances.

After A Severe Storm …
Take theses steps:
· Stay tuned to radio or television for information and instructions from local authorities.  In an emergency KKJZ 88.1 FM will broadcast information to the Long Beach community.
· Follow local instructions regarding the safety of drinking water. If in doubt, boil or purify water before drinking.
· Avoid disaster areas; your presence could hamper rescue and other emergency operations, and you may be in danger.
· Do not handle live electrical equipment in wet areas. If electrical equipment or appliances have been in contact with water, have them checked before use.
· You should avoid downed power lines and broken gas lines. Report downed electrical lines immediately by calling 911.  To report a broken gas lines, first move to a safe location and then call Long Beach Gas & Oil at 562.570.2140.  If you hear a hissing or a roaring sound and smell an unusual odor, first move to a safe location and immediately call 911.
· You should avoid swimming in the ocean and bays during and within 72 hours of a storm. Obey all lifeguard instructions and posted signs at beaches.
Don’t be caught off guard, get the facts and know the risks. Take action to protect yourself, your family, your business, and your finances-before a weather event occurs and it’s too late.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS FROM LIFESTYLES OF LONG BEACH!

Lifestyles of Long Beach presents:

Halloween has been celebrated on October 31^st in the United States since the early 1800’s and is traditionally a family-oriented holiday when children get to dress up and enjoy candy and other treats. There are so many wonderful neighborhoods to plan your trick-or-treating adventures in! Naples, Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, Signal Hill (if you want to get some extra cardio), so many excellent places to explore! In order to assist the Long Beach community in enjoying this fun-filled holiday as safely as possible, Lifestyles of Long Beach has compiled the following Halloween safety tips for you and your neighborhood!

All-for-one!

Halloween is more fun together.  Always make sure that children are accompanied by an attentive adult. These adults should make sure that the children stay together, don’t cut across lawns and walk safety across the street.  Pre-plan trick-or-treating routes so that they can be accomplished during daylight and include homes of folks you trust.  Keep away from yards with unrestrained animals or poorly constructed sidewalks. Always bring a flashlight and a phone that all of the children’s parents can reach. 

 

Brightening up those hard to see costumes!

Whether the little tykes want a tiera or a bat cape, often a child’s costume is dark and difficult for motorist to see. This is no problem! All kids love shiny, bright,  and glow-in-the-dark things! Buy some glowing necklaces and bracelets or even add a little reflective tape to a costume and increase a child,s safety and fun! This doesn’t go just for the kiddies! Your property should be well-lit as well. Adorn low fences, steps, or uneven pavement with lighting to ensure that trick-or-treaters don’t trip and fall. Besides who wants a dark and boring house on Halloween!

Avoid Awkward Masks!

Transforming in to a creepy ghoul can sometimes require some form of a mask. Often these plastic or rubber adornments are large and awkward for the child. The chances that a child’s mask slips around making it difficult for the child to see or even breath could be very dangerous. There is a lot of nontoxic makeups out there that can be used as an alternative to these uncomfortable masks. And the best part is that you and your child can collaborate on the face decorations! Also, make sure that a childs costume isn’t too long for them or too baggy. Costumes can be a tripping hazard for little feet!

Candy inspection, Beware!

Make sure that your child does not eat any candy before it has been properly inspected by an adult. Remove all open, homemade, or poorly wrapped candies. This can be a rewarding experience for your child. Pre-purchase a small bag of candy that you know is a favorite for your child. You can exchange any questionable items with these. Your child won’t feel like they missed out in fact, they will be excited to exchange a of couple so-so candies for something great!

 

Halloween can be a creative and exciting time for you and your family. Long Beach is a terrific place to plan your trick-or-treating festivities! There is so much opportunity for a child to express themselves and socialize in a positive setting.  It is important to pre-plan your Halloween so that it can be as safe as it is fun.  Make sure you work with your children on their costumes. Try to avoid garments that are uncomfortable or hazardous. Add reflective or glow-in-the dark items to a costume and make sure to keep all your trick-or-treaters together. Most importantly examine all candy before you consume them.  Check out one of the many great neighborhoods of Long Beach for an excellent trick-or-treating experience. It’s that easy to play and be safe on your Halloween Holiday!

 

Interested in moving to Long Beach? Have a home in the Long Beach area that you want to sell to a nice family? When you list with our team it is our goal to have your property sold. So get ready for a professional sales push that will produce the best results.
