Hazard Advisory
  • La Conchita
    • An advisory has been issued to residents that live in the Community of La Conchita due to the volume of rain expected to saturate hillsides above the area.

This amount of rain will likely cause the soil to become saturated and may result in landslides or debris flows.

Individuals who require temporary shelter are encouraged to visit this location for assistance.
 
While Ventura County remains one of the Safest Counties in America, it is prone to hazardous conditions that often present during severe rainstorms. Residents are asked to stay vigilant to changing conditions and if asked to evacuate, follow the recommendations provided by public safety officials.
