Ventura County should expect a series of storm systems that promise to deliver a mix of light showers and possibly severe weather conditions, including moderate rain, strong winds, and the potential for flooding and thunderstorms starting Wednesday and ramping up through Thursday.

With the threat of storms looming, the local sheriffs and fire department are on high alert, prompting the public to take preemptive actions against possible flooding. As reported on X by @VCFD_PIO, residents are advised to visit Ventura County Fire Department's website for guidance on storm preparedness, including, a step-by-step sandbag tutorial and information on where to get sandbags – frontline defense against the rising waters.

Flooding is especially a concern in areas still recovering from recent wildfires, known as burn scars, where the ground is unable to absorb water efficiently, increasing the risk of flood and debris flow. As per the Ventura County emergency preparedness website, Ventura County promotes early preparation and urges residents to check out their instructional video on how to properly use sandbags to safeguard their properties.
