Information sources, recovery resource link & disaster prep information
Our hearts go out to impacted Los Angeles county families. We encourage everyone to help family, friends, and neighbors recover during this difficult time.
Earthquakes are the typical specter disaster preparedness speakers use to motivate residents to take action to be prepared. 2025s wind and fire incidents prove things other than quakes can impact many people over a wide area. Consider severe flooding from “atmospheric rivers” that may return in the coming months.
We hope the following links will help those impacted and others to prepare for the future.

Active fire information
Alert LA emergency notification program
Alert LA County is an opt-in mass notification program utilized by the County of Los Angeles that allows individuals to receive emergency alerts by text, email and/or phone call. Alert LA County has accessibility features for people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs. Once registered, add the Alert LA County telephone numbers to your contacts.
Emergency Alert System (EAS) by commercial broadcasters
The EAS broadcasts emergency information directly to radio and television carriers. This system provides the President the ability to address the nation during national emergency, but can also be utilized by the County to broadcast emergency information during widespread (countywide or regional) emergency events.
Local primary commercial broadcast stations for Los Angeles County include:
Local Primary 1 AM radio: KFI (640 AM), KNX (1070 AM), and KBIG (104.3 FM)
