Evacuation Warnings in Los Angeles County, Calif., in the Light of Second-Law Public Safety Alerts on Saturday and Sunday

At least 153,000 people have been forced to evacuate and another 166,000 people were under evacuation warnings as of Saturday, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. The alert and notification system in Los Angeles County was changed on Saturday to work with the state alert center in the wake of the false warnings sent to more than 10 million Angelenos.

A red flag warning also will be in effect starting Tuesday morning at 4 a.m. PDT and will continue through 12 p.m. PDT Wednesday, bringing a period of “locally damaging winds with extremely critical fire weather conditions” in portions of western mountainous areas and northern San Fernando Valley, the NWS says.

While Los Angeles officials are making progress in fire containment and search-and-recovery efforts, more strong winds are expected across LA and Ventura counties over the next few days. These will create dangerous conditions and the possibility of new wildfires, even as multiple blazes continue to burn across already decimated areas.

The fires in Los Angeles have burned thousands of structures and killed several people, and are expected to get more Santa Ana winds.
