 As potential rain moves into northern California this weekend, Cal OES wants to remind all Californians about hazards that can be caused by precipitation following wildfire. Areas burned by wildfire don't have vegetation left to absorb rainwater. Because of this, locations that are downhill and downstream from burned areas are highly susceptible to flooding, mudslides, and debris flow. Debris flows can be very dangerous. They can carry vegetation, trees, large boulders, and even vehicles. There are steps we can all take to be prepared for flooding or mud or debris flows. Monitor incoming storms if you live in areas recently burned by wildfire. Have an evacuation plan in place for you, your loved ones, and your pets. Don't walk through moving water and sign up for local wireless alerts. For more information on staying safe, visit our website news.calos.ca.gov and follow us on all of our social media platforms.
