LA CONCHITA HAZARD ADVISORY
The Hazardous Weather Advisory remains in effect for La Conchita due to continued rain the forecast and the subsequent risk of landslides.
As of 1/3/26, cumulative rainfall totals observed near La Conchita over the past 14 days have exceeded 8.00 inches, an historical landslide trigger. Current rainfall and geological conditions resemble those that contributed to the significant damage in 1995 and 2005. As a result, the threat of landslides and/or debris flows near homes is high. Rapidly changing geological conditions are unpredictable and may pose a serious risk to people in the immediate area. Residents are strongly encouraged to seek shelter elsewhere.
Due to the complex nature of the geologic hazards at La Conchita, local public safety personnel cannot reliably predict when a hillside failure may occur. Despite preparation and monitoring efforts, evacuation alerts may arrive too late. Residents should pay close attention to weather forecasts, rainfall rates, and any warning signs of imminent slope failure.

The Community of La Conchita has been deemed a geologic hazard area by the County of Ventura. County officials advise against entry into the area under any circumstance.
