Authorities got hundreds of homeless people in flood-prone areas to safety before Hilary hit, but advocates said many remained on the streets.
Authorities and outreach groups in Los Angeles scrambled to help the city's homeless avoid the worst of Tropical Storm Hilary, but advocates have toldHilary slammed into Mexico's Baja California peninsula as a hurricane on Sunday before crossing the border as a tropical storm. The first to hit Southern California in 84 years,, flooded streets, downed power lines and triggered mudslides across the region. The storm was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone as it moved north on Monday.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority said the city began efforts to get homeless people in high-risk and flood-prone areas to safety on Thursday, prior to Hilary's arrival. LAHSA officials teamed up with the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homeless Outreach Services Teams to begin notifying homeless people about the coming storm and relocating them to safer locations. The areas of greatest concern included the San Gabriel River Watershed, Santa Fe Dam area, Sepulveda Basin, Los Angeles River, and Hansen Dam, LAHSA said.
LAHSA said eight recreation and community centers were used as emergency shelters over the the weekend."In total, the rehousing system stood up 622 emergency beds at park and recreation locations for use during the storm, and 312 people utilized those beds," the agency said. However, it's unclear whether all those in high-risk areas remained safe during the storm, given the city has about 46,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night, according to a tally conducted earlier this year. The number is more than 75,000 across Los Angeles County."To my knowledge, no one stayed when our outreach teams warned them of the dangers. And we have not gotten any reports of anyone injured or worse as a result of the rains.
