River Channel Cleanup Postponed + Hurricane Hilary Resources

__SALUTATION__

Due to inclement weather, and in consultation with our event partners, we have decided to postpone our River Channel Cleanup in the Santa Ana-Delhi Channel on Saturday, August 19th. Thank you to those who sent in their RSVP. I look forward to seeing you at the next cleanup.

Hurricane Hilary
State, county and local officials are closely monitoring the development of Hurricane Hilary in the Pacific Ocean and the significant impacts the storm could have on California in the coming days.

Hurricane Hilary is currently forecast to track into Southern California over the weekend and into early next week, bringing moderate to heavy showers, thunderstorms and stronger winds to Southern California. The location and intensity of precipitation and winds will be variable as the hurricane approaches California.

A tropical storm and flood watch have been issued for Orange County late Saturday through Monday evening. Over 2 inches of rain and strong winds are expected.

County/Local Resources
Costa Mesa residents and businesses can pick up sandbags in the Costa Mesa City Hall parking lot (77 Fair Drive) and at the Costa Mesa Sanitary District Yard (174 W. Wilson Street). Please bring your own shovel.

The City of Irvine is offering sandbags at its Operations Support Facility (6427 Oak Canyon Road). The Orange County Fire Authority has sandbags available at Fire Station 36 (301 E. Yale Loop).
