Rain is Coming— Here’s What to do

A storm system bringing significant rainfall is predicted to blow through Seal Beach on Thursday and Friday.

Here are some tips to stay safe.

Water can pool on Seal Beach and LW streets during a downpour, so avoid driving in heavy rain, and never drive through a flooded roadway (or walk across a flowing stream of water).

Park your car in a safe spot. Avoid gutters that could flood during high water volume.

Watch for utility workers working near roadways during storms. Slow down at intersections, especially those with nonworking signal lights, and treat them as stop signs.

Stay clear of trees that may have weak limbs, making them susceptible to breaking off in a storm.

Make sure skylights are securely closed to avoid leaks.

Keep pets inside.

To report a fallen tree or traffic signal outage, call Security at (562)594-4754. In an emergency, always call 911.
