Stay Cool and Hydrated through Saturday, March 21

A Heat Advisory is also in effect for coastal areas, including the Malibu coastline and Los Angeles County beaches, from Monday, March 16, through Saturday, March 21.

Officials said coastal communities could see daytime highs ranging from the mid-80s to mid-90s, depending on changing pressure patterns along the coast.

For actions to take based on your city’s HeatRisk category, read the NWS’ Understand HeatRisk guide.

Health officials advise residents to take steps to protect themselves during the extreme temperatures. Recommendations include drinking plenty of water, limiting outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day, and wearing lightweight, light-colored clothing and sunscreen.

Residents are also urged never to leave children or pets unattended in vehicles, even if windows are partially open.

Public health officials emphasized the importance of checking on people who may be especially vulnerable to heat-related illness, including older adults, children, pregnant people, individuals with chronic medical conditions, and those who work or exercise outdoors.

For residents without access to air conditioning, officials recommend staying hydrated, taking cool showers, and spending time in air-conditioned public spaces such as libraries, shopping centers, or designated cooling centers.

Anyone who experiences symptoms of heat-related illness, including dizziness, nausea, confusion, fainting, or a body temperature of 103 degrees or higher, should seek immediate medical attention.

“Heat causes more deaths in the United States each year than floods, storms, and lightning combined,” said Dr. Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County health officer. “Those most vulnerable include older adults, young children, outdoor workers, athletes, and individuals with chronic medical conditions.”

County officials encourage residents to locate nearby cooling centers, community pools, or splash pads if they need relief from the heat. Information about cooling locations and preparedness resources is available at ready.lacounty.gov/heat or by calling 211, which operates around the clock to provide assistance and referrals, and signing up for LACDPH’s heat advisories.

100 years of serving our community

On February 26, 2026, LAPD Pacific Division celebrated a pretty remarkable milestone — 100 years of serving our community — with a Formal Divisional Inspection joined by the Chief of Police.

Zone 3 Director Andrew Marton was there to represent Mar Vista at this special occasion.

It was a proud day honoring the officers, staff, and families who have made Pacific Division what it is over the past century.

For those of us in Mar Vista, it's a good reminder of the partnership we share with our local division and the people who show up for our neighborhoods every day.

LAPD Pacific Division officers stand at attention during the formal inspection ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of Pacific Area, February 2025.

Floral tributes honor fallen Officers Gilbert Reyes and Phillip S. Riley among the 239 LAPD officers lost in the line of duty, remembered during Pacific Division's centennial celebration, February 2025.
