Eastern Sierra Now

00:00 / 00:20:40

Stay up to date with the latest news from across the Eastern Sierra. In this report, we cover a wide range of community updates—from public health and safety to local leadership and regional developments that impact your daily life.

We begin with the end of flu season and what health officials are saying moving forward, along with an important reminder about the current burn permit suspension as fire danger increases. We also highlight an ongoing PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff) live discussion with Southern California Edison, addressing community concerns around power outages and preparedness.

Plus, we recap a recent healthy lifestyle talk supported by the Northern Inyo Hospital, and break down the latest snowpack report from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and what it could mean for water supply this year. We also cover Congressman Kevin Kiley and his latest cosponsorship announcement, updates from Yosemite National Park, and a look at ESN’s “Just a Minute,” where local candidates share their perspectives in a fast-paced format.
