September 6, 2024
The City continues to monitor the status of utility shutoffs in the landslide area and work closely with utilities, emergency management personnel, and our public safety partners responding to the emergency.
As of today, September 6, only the Portuguese Bend Community Association (PBCA) neighborhood is under an evacuation warning pending continuity of sewer system operation. No evacuation warnings have been issued for the Seaview or Portuguese Bend Beach Club neighborhoods. However, this situation is dynamic, so be prepared.
SoCalGas Update
Today at 3 p.m. SoCalGas shutoff natural gas service to 28 homes in the western Seaview area and 24 homes in Portuguese Bend Beach Club. At this time, SoCalGas does not know when it will be safe to restore service to these communities.
If your natural gas service is turned off, please do NOT attempt to restore service or to connect alternative fuels like propane to your natural gas meter. Doing so is unsafe.

SCE & Cox Communication Update
On Monday, September 9 at approximately 6 p.m., SCE will de-energize 54 customers in the lower Portuguese Bend Beach Club, and Cox Communication will disconnect 146 customers in the Portuguese Bend Community Association. All affected customers have been notified by both utilities.
Charging stations for cellphones, laptops, and other electronic devices are available at the Ladera Linda Community Center from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. In addition, the City is coordinating with cellular providers to bring temporary cell communication facilities to affected areas in the days to come.
