Long Beach has issued a storm advisory ahead of “the significant weather system” that will impact the city over the next few days, officials announced Monday.

Residents in low-lying areas, including along the peninsula and Alamitos Bay, should prepare for localized flooding. Those who may be impacted can pick up sandbags and sand at the following fire stations:

• Station 7, 2295 Elm St.
• Station 12, 1199 Artesia Blvd.
• Station 13, 2475 Adriatic Ave.
• Station 14, 5200 Eliot St.

Long Beach residents can also pick up sandbags and sand until 8 p.m. today and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Lifeguard Station at 72nd Place and Ocean Boulevard.

Sand and sandbags are only available to Long Beach residents, who should bring ID and a shovel or tool for collecting sand. The city has a 10-bag limit per person.

Swiftwater teams have been activated and are conducting patrols along local rivers, advising people experiencing homelessness of the potential for fast-rising and dangerous waters, according to city officials. Protective berms have also been fortified along the oceanfront peninsula to safeguard residents and property.
