With wind-chill temperatures expected to fall below 32 degrees, Los Angeles public health officials issued a cold weather alert Saturday to warn residents to bundle up, check on loved ones and bring pets inside. The chilly conditions will ease up midweek across the region, with a warming trend driving temperatures well above average for the Christmas weekend.
“Children, the elderly, and people with disabilities or special medical needs are especially vulnerable during cold weather,” said Dr. Muntu Davis, the health officer for Los Angeles County, in a statement. “Extra precaution should be taken to ensure they don’t get too cold when they are outside.”“There are places where people can go to stay warm, such as shelters or other public facilities.
The L.A. County Department of Public Health urged residents to check on family, friends and neighbors, particularly seniors, those who are ill or have limited mobility, and people with insufficient heating. Pets should be brought inside overnight, county officials warned. Anyone venturing outside in the chilly weather is encouraged to dress in layers, protecting their head, hands and feet from the cold.
