Altadena residents misled by false notice to access homes in evacuation zone

Altadena residents were misled by a false Facebook post stating they could access their homes in an evacuation zone. The post, which was quickly deleted, caused confusion as many evacuees rushed to blocked roads, only to be turned away. City officials confirmed the post was an error and apologized for the misinformation. They emphasized that all of Altadena remains under evacuation orders, and access to the area is still restricted. This incident coincides with widespread issues of erroneous emergency alerts across Los Angeles County, prompting officials to address concerns about their communication effectiveness during the ongoing wildfires.
