SANTA MONICA—On January 11, the city of Santa Monica posted on its Facebook page that its Public Works teams are systematically working through the city to clear debris and assess damage.

After working through the downtown and southern part of Santa Monica on Saturday, multiple crews from Park Maintenance, Beach Maintenance, Engineering & Street Services, Promenade maintenance, Resource Recovery and Recycling, the Cemetery, and the Homeless Support Team focused on removing debris and cleaning up on the northern area between San Vicente and Montana.

They will cover every street and alley in the city, so there is *no need* to submit individual 311 requests. The Resource Recovery and Recycling Division is working to resume trash, street sweeping and other services in evacuation zones as soon as it is safe to do so.

Please note:

– Public Works has worked proactively and diligently to ensure a robust water supply for local firefighting if needed. At this time, the city is not experiencing any water flow issues with fire hydrants.

– The water provided to residents by the city of Santa Monica is safe to use and drink. If your water is provided by LADWP, check official information for updates.

– If you encounter a big chunk of ash or debris in your yard or around your home, please let it sit and cool in a metal can for a few days, covered. Then throw it away in your black trash bin.
