Communities in Southern California are preparing for a weekend storm that is expected to bring cooler temperatures and rain. With recent wildfires leaving devastation in their wake, areas such as Altadena and Pacific Palisades are on high alert for potential mudslides and debris flows.
The National Weather Service has issued flood watches for burn scar areas, urging residents to stay informed and have emergency plans in place. In Altadena, a flood watch is in effect due to the Eaton fire, while in Pacific Palisades, concern is high for debris flow following the Palisades fire.
As the region braces for the winter storm, officials are keeping a close eye on areas vulnerable to land movement. The Hughes, Eaton, and Palisades fires have all seen significant containment progress, but the threat of mud and rockslides remains a concern.
In Altadena and Malibu, residents are being warned to take precautions and follow evacuation orders to ensure their safety. The LA County Sheriff’s Department has issued advisories to help residents prepare for potential hazards.
Meanwhile, survivors of past fires, such as the Tubbs Fire in 2017, are stepping up to support those affected by the recent wildfires. With recovery efforts ongoing, communities are coming together to rebuild and recover from the devastation left by the fires.
As the winter storm approaches, it is essential for residents in Southern California to stay informed, follow safety guidelines, and be prepared for any potential hazards. With the threat of land movement looming, communities are working together to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
