Evac Order Lifted for Big Tujunga Area

Big Tujunga (myFOXla.com) - Residents of nine homes in the Big Tujunga Canyon and Haines Canyon areas were forced to evacuate their homes for about four hours on Monday due to fears of flooding or mudslides from the storm rolling through the region.

Los Angeles police went door-to-door notifying the affected residents around 1 p.m., but the city's Emergency Management Department lifted the evacuation order by 5 p.m.

Residents of 13 other homes had been advised to be prepared to evacuate should conditions warrant, but they were never ordered out of their homes.

A two-hour town hall meeting will be held, beginning at 6 p.m., at Shepherd of the Hills Church, 19700 Rinaldi St., Porter Ranch. Residents living in burn areas impacted by the Station, Sesnon and Sayre fires should attend.

For more information, call the Emergency Management Information Helpline, (800) 439-2909; (213) 485-2121; or 311.
