A significant storm event is anticipated to impact the Los Angeles region February 4 - 7. An evacuation order has been issued to residents along La Tuna Canyon Road, roughly within the area bounded by Horse Haven St. to the North, Martindale Ave. to the East, Penrose St. to the South and Ledge Ave. to the West. The City urges residents in this area to evacuate immediately. The area subject to the Order is at an increased risk of significant flooding, mudslides, and sediment flow because of the burn scars left by the Land Fire that occurred in 2022. The City is responding to multiple reports of mudslides and debris in the roadway along residential and arterial streets near Laurel Canyon, Coldwater Canyon, Benedict Canyon, and Beverly Glen. Drivers are advised to avoid these areas which are at heightened risk of mudslides and sudden closures
