Beach Water Use Advisory: Advisory for all Los Angeles County beaches extended until Thursday, March 19 at 10:00 a.m.

Because of the recent rainfall, Los Angeles County Health Officer, Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, is cautioning residents who are planning to visit Los Angeles County beaches to avoid swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters around discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers. Bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas are likely to contaminate ocean waters at and around these outlets after a rainfall. Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill.

Discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers only comprise a small portion of the beach; therefore, anybody who wants to go to other areas at the beach can still enjoy their beach outing.

Areas of the beach apart from discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers are exempted from this advisory. This advisory will be in effect until at least Monday, March 16 at 10:00 a.m. This advisory may be extended depending on further rainfall.

Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the County's beach closure hotline: 1-800- 525-5662. Information is also available online at: PublicHealth.LACounty.gov/Beach

The Mighty Under Dogs and the Malibu Foundation have established the COVID-19 Response Form to ensure essential services for community members who find themselves at the intersection of being most vulnerable to the virus and most impacted by inequity. As of current, we are supporting errand running for food and medicine.

The foundation's promise is to be a catalyst and to fight inequity by creating systems where all people can thrive. At this critical time, investing in continuing access to food, hygiene, shelter, and other services for the most vulnerable is important to keeping the entire community healthy. As of current, we are supporting errand running for food and medicine.

We are offering our help to those who are most vulnerable: the elderly, immunocompromised, quarantined, immobile or otherwise unable to leave their homes.

The Mighty Under Dogs will be sending volunteers door-to-door to deliver groceries, water, medications, pet food, etc. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, please fill out the form below:

Due to rain The Waterfront Venice has postponed the launch of party of Rinsed Magazine.

Hi There,
Writing to let you know that we need to postpone this Saturday’s Wet Gala until further notice. It’s supposed to rain on Saturday and since The Waterfront is partially open air, we felt like the Wet Gala might get a little to wet - made the joke so you don’t have to. We do not have a new date yet, but will reach out when it is set. We appreciate your patience and understanding and are eager to see you at Wet Gala in the near future!
Thanks!

From Surfrider LA:

"In light of recent developments surrounding COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, we have decided to cancel all remaining events this month out of concern for the well being of our community. It is critical that we all do everything we can to help stop the spread of coronavirus. We will be sending periodic updates through our social network and newsletters and look forward to getting through these trying times safely and efficiently. In the meantime, please take all necessary precautions to keep yourself and your loved ones safe, and most importantly, don't panic and remember to be kind and patient with one another. Take care out there, friends!"
