What to do now
- Check the National Weather Service (NWS) updates for Los Angeles and Southern California. They issue real-time tornado and severe weather alerts with radar imagery, warnings, watches, and safety guidance. Look for products like Tornado Warning, Severe Thunderstorm Warning, and any PDS (particularly dangerous situation) warnings.
- Monitor local TV stations and weather apps (e.g., Weather Channel, AccuWeather) for live radar, polygons, and emergency instructions specific to your location. These outlets frequently air local emergency briefings during severe events.
- If you receive a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning, seek shelter immediately. Move to a sturdy interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows, and have a way to communicate with others.
Quick steps to stay safe
- Have a plan and a designated safe area in your home; keep warm clothes, a flashlight, and a charged phone within reach. [general safety guidance]
- If you’re in a mobile or outdoor setting, seek substantial shelter or move to the nearest strong building; avoid overpasses and parked cars. [general safety guidance]
- Stay tuned to official channels for evacuation or shelter-in-place instructions.
