Odor Update #1. Local Emergency Managers are communicating with the County Office of Emergency Services. A hazardous materials team is taking air samples in the area. The EPA and Coast Guard are also in the communication loop.

We are aware of the unusual smell that is being reported here in San Marcos and nearby cities. North County fire agencies (including our Fire Dept) are working with county health officials to try to determine the source and monitor air quality. Will update when we have more info.

Tips to Stay Cool and Avoid Heat Illnesses: 1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid sugary, caffeinated, and alcoholic beverages. 2. Seek Shade or Air Conditioning: Spend time in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible. If you don’t have air conditioning at home, consider visiting public places like libraries, malls, or community centers. 3. Wear Light Clothing: Choose lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can also help protect you from the sun. 4. Limit Outdoor Activities: Try to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you must be outside, take frequent breaks in the shade or a cool environment. 5. Never Leave Children or Pets in Cars: Even with windows cracked, the temperature inside a car can quickly rise to dangerous levels. Always check the back seat before locking your vehicle. 6. Use Fans and Cool Showers: Fans can help circulate air, and a cool shower or bath can lower your body temperature. 7. Check on Vulnerable Individuals: Ensure that elderly family members, neighbors, and those with health conditions have access to cool environments and are staying hydrated. 8. Recognize Signs of Heat Illness: Be aware of symptoms such as heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache, and muscle cramps. If you or someone else shows signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, seek medical attention immediately. By taking these steps, we can all stay safe during the heatwave. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and let’s take care of each other. #HeatSafety #StayCool #CAWx

San Diego County is encouraging residents and business owners to call 211 to report home and business damages from the latest storm.    The state has proclaimed a state of emergency for counties in Southern California including San Diego.

Spotted on the job 👀 Thank you to the San Marcos Public Works crews who work rain 🌧️ and shine ☀️ to keep San Marcos safe👏 Remember to report all non emergent issues through our website or app by visiting san-marcos.net/reportaconcern.

So what are those atmospheric rivers anyway? 🤔 Think of it as a large column of moisture in the air funneling from the ocean into California, which can bring heavy rainfall and mountain snow like we'll see this week. Take a look below for a more in-depth view 🔎☔️🏔️ #CAwx

Here is a look at the current radar. Widespread moderate-heavy rain will continue across Orange/San Bernardino/Riverside Counties this morning before expanding into San Diego County through this afternoon. Make sure to remain weather aware today and have ways to receive warnings!

The rain is taking Saturday off, but more is on the way. Take this break from the rain to sign up for AlertSanDiego at alertsandiego.org/en-us/prepared… to receive emergency notifications.
