According to the LAFD’s website, people in the yellow evacuation warning zone should be “prepared to evacuate.”
Mayor Eric Garcetti, who appeared at a press conference this morning alongside fire officials and councilmembers Mike Bonin and Paul Koretz, signed an emergency declaration this morning to get increased resources for L.A. firefighters.
Shelters are currently open for evacuees, human and animal alike. Hansen Dam Recreation Center is the only one accepting large animals.

The fire’s namesake campus, as well as the Getty Villa, are closed today. Via instagram, the museum said, “Many have asked about the safety of the artwork. It is protected by state-of-the-art technology—the safest place for the art and library collections is inside.”
