@nbcla: Some Huntington Beach homeowners could face fines of up to $1,000 if they don’t take steps to protect their properties from flooding. The city has issued notices to waterfront properties in Sunset Beach, requiring measures such as clearing drainage areas, securing loose items and installing sandbags or other flood barriers. City official say inspectors will be visiting properties in the coming days but emphasize they’re willing to work with people before issuing fines. Homeowners who need clarification can also request an in-person visit to walk them through the required changes. #nbcla
