Residents in burn scar areas should be ready to evacuate if needed. City and county agencies have readied streets for debris flow with K-rails and sandbags, as a storm moves in on Wednesday, Feb.

For the second time this year, Southern Californians are evacuating their homes as heavy rain threatens new destruction in places still recovering from last month’s devastating wildfires.

With heavy rain bringing the risk of dangerous debris flows, the Los Angeles Fire Department has announced evacuation warnings — and mandatory evacuation orders for some specific addresses — in areas recently burned by wildfires.

According to The Weather Channel, the storm raises major concerns for flash flooding and debris flows, especially in areas recently scorched by wildfires, including the Eaton and Palisades fire zones in Southern California.

As Los Angeles braces for its most powerful storm of the season, concerns of mudslides and debris flows in recently fire-hit areas have prompted evacuation warnings.

A storm starting overnight Tuesday in California is expected to bring a high risk of debris flows later this week to the burn areas from the Los Angeles County fires. Between 2 and 3 inches of rain is expected to fall in the Palisades Fire area and between 3.

The Los Angeles Fire Department on Wednesday announced evacuation warnings that will take effect at 7 a.m. Thursday for areas in the city near recent burn areas due to high mudslide and debris flow risks.
