Avoid walking alone at night in Santa Monica (areas near 4th St & Olympic Dr and Santa Monica High School) and keep to well-lit, populated routes.
Monitor local news/flight status if traveling by air — recent engine fire on a Delta flight may affect airline operations confirm bookings before heading to the airport.
Plan for variable weather: carry a light rain layer or umbrella for March 31 drizzle and dress in layers for overcast/warm days through April 6.
If you are heat-sensitive or traveling with older adults, identify air-conditioned public spaces and limit outdoor exertion on warmer days (highs up to 81.0°F (27.2°C)).
Keep valuables secure in vehicles and while on foot use caution when parking or stopping in less-populated areas.
