Emergency Disaster Preparation
The Los Angeles region is subject to various destructive emergencies including earthquake, flood, terrorism, and civil unrest. Major earthquakes have occurred in Southern California causing damage to the County in 1933, 1971, 1987 and 1994. A recent report by a working group of respected scientists estimates an 86% probability of a magnitude 7.0 or greater earthquake in southern California over the next 30 years.
The City of Bell has formed a plan that guides the community on how to prepare for upcoming emergency disasters.
To receive up to date information on local emergency events, sign up for the City's emergency notification system.
