Mud updates Tues Feb 9th 2010

These are coming from the county via Gino Sund of the Altadena Town Council
There are two below. Altadena Blog is posting updates (Thank You Tim!!!)

11:30AM, Tues Feb 9th
Latest update.

There is an unstable cold front heading West that has the potential for heavy to intense showers and thunderstorms starting around noon or before.

There is a high probability that a blockage will occur at Canyon Crest Road which will result in a road closure. There is no evacuation of the Meadows, and residents are advised to shelter in place. An unmanned Fire engine is stationed in the neighborhood with a crew prepared to hike in to operate the equipment if necessary.
========
Tuesday Morning
I just returned from surveying Altadena with Capitan Blow. As of now things look pretty good. Most catch basins are only partially filled and the work crews are continuing to clear the Canyon Crest bridge area. This clearing effort will continue as long as the weather allows. As of my briefing last night, the expectations were that today's rain fall will not be as bad as last Saturday but there is a possibility the an unanticipated rain cell may cause unexpected problems. Therefore, the County is preparing for the worst with its La Canada, La Crescenta and Acton evacuation plans. None planed in Altadena. There is another briefing update at 11:00 a.m. If there is any change, I will let you know.

Storm Watch

http://dpw.lacounty.gov/care/

The purpose of this email is to provide information made available to the Altadena area, as well as other areas of Los Angeles County affected by recent fires and the last two storm events.

The County of Los Angeles continues to work with all local, state and federal agencies, and continues to provide detailed information to key people in all of the affected areas.  Gino Sund, Chair of the Altadena Town Council is among those key people being briefed.

The Millard Campground is the only area currently evacuated.  No other evacuations have been announced for Altadena.

The only road closure continues to be Chaney Trail from the gate into the National Forest area.

There is a probability that Canyon Crest may experience additional disruptions from debris flows coming down Millard Creek.  As a result, the Fire Department has deployed a Fire Engine to be staged in The Meadows and the Sheriff's Station is on alert to assist.  There is no planned evacuation for The Meadows area at this time.

There are no anticipated additional road closures or evacuations for this storm event for Altadena.

You may find additional information on the website managed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.  Here's the link:

www.dpwcare. org

On that site, you can sign up for mud flow, debris flow, flood and road closure emergency notifications.  These notifications can be received through email or as a text message on your cell phone.

You'll note on their website that there is a list from which you may choose other notifications as well, including hazardous waste and e-waste roundups.

Stay safe!

Access to Impact: Using Open Government to Create Change: Produced by League of Women Voters Pasadena Area to be held March 6 at Neighborhood Church.

 


Pete Peterson, executive director of Common Sense California, will be part of the morning.  Pete teaches public participation and citizen engagement at Pepperdine and brings a depth and breadth of experience in working with municipalities up and down the state to the panel.  You'll also recognize some other familiar names:  Larry Wilson (Pasadena Star-News), Jan Sanders (Pasadena Public Library), and Michele Beal Bagneris (Pasadena City Attorney).  They will be speaking about open government and access to information from their respective perspectives - media, libraries and city governments.

There will be a block of time devoted to small group discussions about local government and working together to hold our politicians and ourselves accountable for our shared future.
