"My name is Nora. I am the manager of Paliskates, and I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my boss, Erica Simpson, a female entrepreneur who opened her small business in the Pacific Palisades in 1999. Paliskates has been a staple in the community over the last 25 years in our beloved Palisades. We are devastated to share that the Palisades fire has taken our shop at 1021 N Swarthmore Ave. The fire has taken most of our community, and everyone is struggling during this time. Like so many, we are asking for help during this devastating time. As you may know our store burned last week, and we lost everything. Can you please share our GoFundMe link.? Anything helps. We look forward to coming back stronger." -Erica and the Paliskates Team

Ocean Water Quality Rain Advisory: Advisory Extended for all Los Angeles County Beaches Until Friday, March 14, at 4:00 pm

RAIN ADVISORY:

Due to current rainfall, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health advises beach users to avoid all water contact, especially near discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers due to potentially higher bacteria levels in these areas. This includes any runoff that may flow onto or pond on the beach sand.

Ocean and bay recreational waters, especially near discharging storm drains, creeks and rivers can be contaminated with bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas after a rainfall. Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill. Rain advisories remain in effect for 72 hours after the rainfall ends.

The ocean water quality rain advisory will be in effect at least until 4:00 pm, Friday, March 14, 2025.

This advisory may be extended depending on further rainfall.

OCEAN WATER ADVISORY DUE TO FIRE IMPACTS:

Once the rain advisory is lifted, the ocean water advisory from Las Flores State Beach to Santa Monica State Beach will remain in effect until further notice.

Beach goers may recreate on the sand but continue to be advised to stay away from fire debris and to stay out of the ocean water during any posted ocean advisory.
