CBS New York's Vanessa Murdock has your First Alert Forecast for July 8 at 6 p.m.
www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live access to news feeds in this moment, but I can share how to get the latest flood alerts quickly and what to look for.
- Check authoritative sources first: National Weather Service (US) alerts, local weather offices (e.g., NWS Los Angeles), and state emergency management sites for current flood watches/warnings, rainfall rates, and evacuation guidance. They usually post updates every hour during active events.
- Useful third-party outlets: local TV stations and national networks provide real-time updates and live streams when floods threaten your area. Look for yellow/orred alert graphics and emergency bulletins.
- For national/international coverage: major news outlets often summarize ongoing flood events with maps and rainfall forecasts. Use search terms like “flood alert latest updates” plus your city or state to filter results.
What you can do now in Los Angeles
- Monitor the National Weather Service Los Angeles area forecast discussions and flood advisories for the latest watches and warnings.
- Sign up for local emergency alerts (Community Alert, AlertLA) if available, so you receive push or text updates about flood risks and evacuation orders.
- Prepare a quick readiness kit and identify higher ground or safe shelter options in case a flood warning is issued.
If you’d like, tell me your specific area within Los Angeles or nearby counties, and I’ll pull the most relevant alert sources and summarize the current flood risk and any actions you should consider.
