⚠️ FLOODING UPDATE – CITY OF LONG BEACH ⚠️

If you have water entering your home, please report it immediately to Long Beach Fire Central Station by contacting dispatch at 228-863-7292.

We are also asking all drivers to use extreme caution and stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary. Vehicles traveling too fast through flooded streets are creating wakes that are pushing water into residents' yards and, in some cases, contributing to the flooding of homes.
