Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna announced during a news conference that approximately 88,000 residents in the county are currently under evacuation orders. Additionally, more than 84,000 individuals have been issued evacuation warnings as a precautionary measure.
It is important to understand the distinction between an evacuation order and a warning. An evacuation order is mandatory, meaning residents must leave the area immediately for their safety. On the other hand, an evacuation warning serves as a signal for residents to start preparing for a potential evacuation in the near future.
