The City of San Luis Obispo has activated the Emergency Operations Center on the morning of January 9, 2023 to provide support during the storm.

Flood advisory is in effect and several roads in San Luis Obispo are flooded or closed. Major thoroughfares closed due to flooding.
- Intersections that are currently closed:
- Los Osos Valley Road at Foothill Boulevard
- Tank Farm Road and Higuera Street
- Oceanaire and Avalon
- Marsh and Higuera Streets
- Oceanaire and Galleon through Madonna
- Calle Joaquin at LOVR closed in both directions

Remember:
- Shelter in place unless you need to leave due to safety issues. If you need to evacuate, please go to the Marigold or Foothill Shopping Centers for assistance and shelter support.
- Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.
