Mayor Karen Bass urged Angelenos to prioritize safety as the National Weather Service forecasts dangerously high temperatures this week, especially in the San Fernando Valley. The Mayor emphasized the importance of utilizing city resources for public safety amid the heatwave. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and the Office of Public Safety are collaborating to manage potential heat-related emergencies effectively. "We must take this heat seriously," Bass stated, highlighting the risks associated with extreme temperatures. The LAPD will assist in maintaining safety and order during this challenging weather period.

City officials are also providing community outreach to raise awareness about hydration and heat safety measures. Historically, extreme heat has posed significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Local officials are committed to ensuring that residents have access to necessary resources and support during this heatwave.
