Culver Crest Area Residents Urged to Prepare as Local Emergency Declared
As inclement weather conditions persist, Culver City authorities have declared a local emergency and issued an evacuation warning for specific areas within the Culver Crest neighborhood, citing an increased risk of mudslides.
Understanding Evacuation Warning vs. Evacuation Order
An evacuation warning signifies the need for residents to prepare for departure, gathering family, pets, essential items, and crucial documents while awaiting further instructions from local officials. On the other hand, an evacuation order mandates immediate evacuation, emphasizing the potential danger to life. As of now, there is no evacuation order in effect.
Earlier on Monday, reports of mudflows were documented behind two homes along Cranks Road and one home along Flaxton Street.
