Winter watch is in effect in city

CITY OF SEAL BEACH

In anticipation of upcoming storms, the City of Seal Beach Marine Safety Department, Public Works Department and Police Department will be monitoring conditions throughout the winter season and will respond appropriately as issues arise.

Residents are encouraged to monitor the surf and weather conditions and take steps to protect themselves and their property.

• People in flood-prone areas should have pre-filled sandbags available for immediate use.

• If possible, park cars in such a way as to protect the engine and electronics.

• Wait to drive in areas with flooding until floodwaters recede.

Driving on flooded streets causes wakes to form (even at fairly low speeds) and pushes water up onto parked cars and into garages.

• Monitor the Seal Beach Police Department social media outlets (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) for information updates.

• If you see fallen trees or tree branches, call Security or the Seal Beach Police Department non-emergency line at (562) 594-7232.
