Rosemead, California is situated in Los Angeles County, within the Southern California Coastal hydrologic subregion. The area experiences relatively moderate precipitation levels and temperatures, with a high level of humidity. The region is also at a relatively high risk of wildfires and flooding due to its dry climate and proximity to mountainous terrain, which can exacerbate these hazards.
Additionally, Rosemead is located near the San Gabriel Fault and the Pacific coastline, making it susceptible to earthquake and tsunami risks. The combination of fault lines and coastlines in the area increases the potential for seismic activity, posing a significant threat to the community. Historical events such as the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, which caused widespread damage in the region, serve as reminders of the seismic risks faced by Rosemead and its surrounding areas.
Given the specific geological features and climate factors present in Rosemead, along with its history of natural disasters, the area is considered to have a very high overall hazard risk. The city's population of over 100,000 residents further underscores the potential impact of these hazards on the community. It is crucial for residents and local authorities to be prepared for a range of disasters, from wildfires and floods to earthquakes, in order to mitigate the potential impact on lives and property.
