Evacuation warning issued for possible debris flows in LA burn scar areas
The city of Los Angeles issued evacuation warnings for people living in burn scar areas, after a flood watch was issued for a wide swath of Los Angeles County from Monday morning through Monday evening. Rock and mud slides are possible near steep terrain, and debris flows are possible on burn scars.
Mayor Karen Bass warned residents in those areas to take precautions and be prepared for potential emergency warnings.
"Ahead of heavy rain forecasted this week, first responders, Public Works crews, and city personnel are taking action to keep Angelenos safe and will be ready to respond to any potential impacts," Bass said in a statement late Saturday. "This is likely to be another significant rain event. All Angelenos -- especially those in burn scar areas -- are encouraged to follow official guidance, use caution on the roads, plan ahead, and stay informed."
The warning goes into effect at 9 p.m. on Sunday and lasts through 9 a.m. Tuesday.
