  1. City of Malibu: "On April 13, the Malibu City Council adopted an update to the Safety Element to the City’s General Plan — a critical step to better protect residents, visitors, and property from natural hazards.

    A Safety Element is a state-required plan that identifies risks like wildfires and flooding and sets policies to protect people, property, and infrastructure from those hazards. This update is especially important because Malibu’s previous safety framework had not been comprehensively updated since 1995."

  2. I'm not an easy person to figure out, until you learn one or two random weird things about me and then I feel like I'm a real easy, open book.

    Every once in awhile I change my header to something that I feel like has an interesting or informative story behind it to fill in the lines of my...well, let's be generous and call it my eccentricity: a collage of quirkiness

    The most current one is my hope that #Denmark annexes #California... I would bet lots of money that the vast majority of people prefer that idea to anything maga has in store..

    For a long time I identified as Eli wallach's favorite bass... That story is pinned on my jorts account

    The Janis Joplin thing is cuz I was born 72 days after she died in the same town and if she wanted to come back as anything it was as a wellborn white boy with a big....voice 😇

    Marina abramovich story is pinned here

    I call myself the Duke of California because if the United States had a way for upper-class people to participate in society instead of with destruction and extraction and there were actual responsibility attached to their privilege instead of money and power some sort of mix of hereditary and meritocratic guidelines would pretty easily Grant my grandfather, Warren Dorn, the duchy of California... Apart from being one of the main architects of postwar, Southern California he, with one sentence, changed the world

    As supervisor of #LACounty he had the largest block of constituents South of San Francisco. And he got them behind the aqueduct with the addition of a lake

    "LA will get behind this if we get a lake* out of the bargain"

    And that is a trait that we all have to one degree or another in my family... The ability to grasp what's happening with a large group of people and put it into a sentence

    The rest of my family has squandered that with privilege and vibe

    I'm the only one with that #lordNelson level #imposterSyndrome driving me to do public service, art, advocacy etc.

    It comes from #autism and #CPTSD...most find it tiresome and I've been thoroughly ridiculed in my life, but generally find that people come around to whatever crazy thing I've said eventually

    *What we call #lakeCastaic was promised to be Dorn lake... But the slander he had to endure that ended his Los Angeles service reduced it to The Warren M Dorn recreation center instead

    Somewhere I have an "86 LA times article from the front of the metro section where they begrudgingly admit to his contribution to the aqueduct but I just spent some time looking for it unsuccessfully

  3. Back on the legistlative front cities, counties and states across the US seem to have suddenly found the will power to use their bureaucracies against ICE.

    LA County is now consider formal rules that will bar ICE from using county property for staging unless they actually have a warrant signed by a judge.

    And of course if they have a warrany LA County seems to be strongly suggesting to ICE that they should only be narrowly focused on the individuals actually named.

    This tree was probably thriving here around the time that Cabrillo showed up.

  5. #LACounty > Rain is expected across Los Angeles County starting Thursday, November 13 through Sunday, November 16, with the potential for debris flows in recent burn scar areas. Visit lacounty.gov/emergency/ for current evacuation warnings / orders

  6. Rain does not start up until 4am Friday morning now, per HRRR weather model,, for most of SoCal. (all at once though)

    The declaration would allow the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to enact an eviction moratorium and other protections for immigrants.

    #lacounty #ice good move 👍🏾

  8. Night flying copters working near Castaic High School and Hasley Canyon. Two other helicopters there are local news stations. Most other radio traffic is routine shuffling of resources, sending strike teams to the base for tomorrow, and they were dealing with a minor medical issue. My last update tonight. There should be a new perimeter map for the Canyon Fire from FIRIS very soon, should post on @disaster_bot when it runs again. 8/7/25 2202 #CanyonFire #LACounty #VenturaCounty #Piru #Wildfires

  9. 9440C Strike Team may be put to work. They are discussing if they can use them or not. Branch 10 says they can use them, but that will be enough. Drop Point 20 is Romero/Hasley Canyon. 8/7/25 2134 #CanyonFire #LACounty #VenturaCounty #Piru #Wildfires

  10. MRB (Mobile Retardant Base) for helicopters is being set up, they are working on a plan for where they will be using night dropping copters. 8/7/25 2109 #CanyonFire #LACounty #VenturaCounty #Piru #Wildfires

  11. Continuing a bit for the Canyon Fire... (mute the hashtag if you don't want to be overwhelmed) Out of area resources (Charlie Strike Teams) arriving. They are "bedding them down" for the night to put them to work first thing in the morning. (which is good news, which means they have no immediate need for them tonight). 8/7/25 2108 #CanyonFire #LACounty #VenturaCounty #Piru #Wildfires

  12. Not confirmed, but if you hear a jarring crash of a space capsule descending into the atmosphere tonight at 2:31am, it appears SpaceX is (unusually, I might add) planning on landing a rocket very close to shore in Los Angeles/Ventura County. Not too much margin if things go wrong. Going to be one helluva sonic boom (maybe).

  13. A CBS News compilation of videos from the Paramount protest in LA County California where ICE fired massive amounts of teargas canisters at unarmed protestors near a Home Depot.

    (Paramount is a small town near #LosAngeles, but it is NOT actually the city of LosAngeles.)

  14. "We cannot be silent in the face of Trump’s dictatorial move. But we must not succumb to #violence.

    What is needed is peaceful #CivilDisobedience. Americans locking arms to protect those who need protection. Americans sitting in the way of armored cars. #Americans singing and chanting in the face of the Americans whom #Trump is drafting into his handmade civil war."

  18. Risk rises for #mudslides around #LACounty fire zones; prepare for worst-case scenario, officials warn

    January 26, 2025

    "With more rain on the way, officials warned Sunday of an increasing risk of mudslides in #LosAngelesCounty's burn areas, with a 10% to 20% chance of significant #FlashFlooding and #DebrisFlows capable of damaging roads and homes in and around areas devastated by #wildfires.

    "'This is the worst-case scenario to prepare for,' said Kristan Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.

    "'We do have increasing concern for the #BurnScars,' Lund said. The charred footprint of the Eaton fire, which blackened more than 14,000 acres, is the most worrisome. 'These #FlashFloods and these debris flows could happen in and near or below these burn scars.'

    "A #FloodWatch took effect at 10 a.m. Sunday and was set to continue through 4 p.m. Monday for the burned areas of the #EatonFire in the #Altadena and #Pasadena areas; the #PalisadesFire and #FranklinFires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas; the Hughes fire around Lake Castaic; and the Bridge fire in the San Gabriel Mountains west and southwest of Wrightwood. The flood watch started six hours earlier than originally anticipated as rain began falling steadily around Los Angeles."
