Altadena Neighborhood Coalition Forum Hears From County Public Works, Fire and Sheriff’s Station on El Niño Preparations

The virtual Altadena Coalition of Neighborhood Associations forum on Tuesday also features Eaton Fire Collaboratory staff on Altadena 2.0

Los Angeles County Public Works, Los Angeles County Fire and the Altadena Sheriff’s Station will present Super El Niño Preparations at Tuesday’s online forum of the Altadena Coalition of Neighborhood Associations, known as ACONA. Eaton Fire Collaboratory staff will follow with Altadena 2.0 — Reimagining Altadena.

The forum takes place on Zoom.

Los Angeles County reported Sept. 30 that El Niño conditions are present, with the potential of more rainfall and more intense rainfall in the coming months, putting burn scar areas at risk for flooding, rockslides, mudslides and debris flows.

The county Department of Public Works and partner agencies have distributed more than 4,000 sandbags to Altadena residents. Residents within the Eaton and Palisades areas can get up to 25 filled sandbags at the Los Angeles County Public Works Fleet Maintenance Yard, 252 Mountain View St., in Altadena, which is open through April 15, 2027. Sandbag supplies are also stocked at fire stations.

ACONA was established in 2010 to give Altadena neighborhood associations and neighborhood watch groups a way to network and share ideas and best practices. Its forums bring those groups and residents together with the officials and service providers responsible for topics affecting the community.

Each meeting features presentations from the relevant entities and a moderated public Q&A. Ahead of the forum, the coalition’s website offers a form to submit a question, along with a separate form to suggest a future forum topic.

All are welcome to attend.

ACONA forum: Super El Niño Preparations and Altadena 2.0 — Reimagining Altadena will run on Tuesday, October 27 at 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Online via Zoom. For more information, visit https://www.aconaonline.org/meetings.
