Southwest and California flooding dominates the day as El Niño storms and record tides keep crews on the water

Flooding is the shift driver. NPR reports that flood damage estimates run to hundreds of millions of dollars for New Mexico alone, and that the storms have left thousands of people displaced across the Four Corners states. For your shift that means swiftwater and evacuation support stays live, and mutual-aid requests from neighboring counties are likely. NWS Albuquerque has Flood Warnings out for Rio Arriba and Socorro counties in New Mexico; NWS Pueblo has Flood Warnings for Bent County, Colorado; NWS Melbourne has Flood Warnings for Lake and Volusia counties in Florida. NWS Anchorage carries a Storm Warning for the Kiska-to-Attu Pacific side. Treat every warning as current until the issuing office clears it.

On the coast, the New York Post reports California was hit with high tides flooding streets, with tides possibly near record levels through Wednesday. The Guardian reports coastal California communities were preparing for days of flooding amid what it calls record-breaking tides, with water levels rising from Monday. Expect road closures on low-lying coastal routes.

Dispatch had a bad day in two places. STATter911 reports DC911 gave the wrong address three times in 30 minutes for a car-into-a-building call outside the White House, costing 15 minutes before fire and EMS reached the right location. Cleveland.com reports the Cuyahoga County 911 dispute remains unsettled, with dispatch, equipment and network responsibilities split across municipalities, Chagrin Valley Dispatch, a county committee and the state.

On law enforcement: the Los Angeles Times reports an LAPD officer, named in that report, was arrested last week by Monrovia police following an amateur online sting. The Oregonian reports a Multnomah County man lost $40,000 to a scammer posing as police over a missed jury-duty fine — worth a public-warning line if your agency fields these calls. Fox News reports a Florida mother was arrested after a Las Vegas trip left four children without overnight supervision. NBC News reports on the background of the Bend, Oregon shooter.

For EMS and rescue: NJ.com reports investigators say a pedestrian was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle near the Bergen County courthouse in Hackensack.

Watch items, all unconfirmed. A report of a GPS-misrouted motorist finding a house fire and helping a family in Georgia is unconfirmed by any agency. Satellite fire detections are reported but not confirmed by any agency over Texas, Arizona, California, Alabama, Louisiana, Hawaii and Indiana — treat these as leads for your local dispatch to verify, not as active incidents.
