The community of La Conchita is, and continues to be, a Geological Hazard Area as determined by the County of Ventura. For this reason, the Community of La Conchita remains under a year-round EVACUATION WARNING. 

As of January 20, 2026, recent rainfall totals in La Conchita have fallen below historical event trigger thresholds. However, the hillside remains saturated and vulnerable to a sudden and potentially catastrophic failure at any time.

Due to the complex and evolving nature of the geologic hazards in La Conchita, local public safety officials cannot reliably predict when a hillside failure may occur. Despite ongoing monitoring and preparedness efforts, evacuation alerts may not always provide sufficient advance notice. Residents are strongly encouraged to closely monitor weather forecasts, rainfall rates, and remain alert to any signs of imminent slope instability.
