Emergency Alert Systems

Fires, floods, earthquakes, and more are just a part of life in Southern California. Most of the County governments, and even cities, have a “Reverse 911” or “Alert System” for residents. You can sign up for these and be alerted to various things like evacuation orders and pending flood dangers.

The greater Los Angeles area is home to numerous movie studios and, as such, is also a “stand-in” for so many locations. In my searches for locations, I’ve come across a few really good sites that have either identified the locations or even gone so far as to “recreate” them in a manner.
