The State of California's Office of Emergency Services, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the Los Angeles County Fire Department, and the City of Walnut are in partnership to provide resources and assistance to all citizens in the event of a natural disaster or terrorist act.
In the event of an emergency, the City of Walnut's Emergency Operations Center is ready to coordinate relief efforts.
DURING AN EMERGENCY, YOU CAN OBTAIN UP TO DATE INFORMATION BY CALLING THE CITY’S EMERGENCY LINE AT (909) 348-0770.
EVACUATIONS
In the event of a major natural disaster or terrorist threat, residents should remain calm and assess the situation to determine their course of action.
If you have power in your home, turn on your television or radio for information. In an emergency, there will be a scrolling message on your screen with evacuation information. This message is activated by the Sheriff's Station through the County communications center. Tune into Channel 3 (Charter subscribers) and Channel 21 (Verizon subscribers) for live coverage of Walnut.
If your power is out, the Sheriff's department will notify residents in the evacuation neighborhoods. Deputies will go door to door and use the patrol unit's P.A. systems to notify residents.
If you are told to evacuate, gather your family, secure your home and proceed to the designated emergency shelter.
The City has identified several evacuation shelters in the City. These shelters will be activated as needed. The shelter locations will be determined by the magnitude and nature of the emergency.
