SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH
Make sure you and your family are prepared for the unexpected. In a disaster, there are never too many ways to receive a possibly life-saving alert. That’s why the City of Los Angeles will use multiple ways to reach you if there is a threat to your life or property. The best way to ensure you receive alerts is to signup with NotifyLA.
