Good afternoon, Long Beach! Today’s Election 2020 Safety Update is that all remains good here in our city. At this time, our Emergency Operations Center remains activated to monitor activities and respond to any community safety concerns if needed. The City is not aware of any planned protests or rallies scheduled for this week in Long Beach. Additionally, there are no credible threats to the city related to election activity.
As a reminder, the City of Long Beach encourages all businesses to have emergency plans in place for all types of emergency situations. Whether or not to close, secure or board up a building is an individual business decision. If a business decides to keep their building boarded up, they must still comply with the California Fire Code and requirements regarding safe egress. If businesses have any questions, they may contact the Fire Prevention Bureau for assistance at (562) 570-2500.
We encourage everyone to report suspicious or criminal activity by calling 9-1-1 or LBPD’s non-emergency line at 562-435-6711.The best way to stay up-to-date on election impacts and other emergencies is to sign-up for Alert Long Beach at http://longbeach.gov/disasterpreparedness/alert-long-beach/ and follow the City on social media.
This will be our final Election 2020 Safety Update unless there are any significant incidents to report.
