Because of the recent wildfires, parts of Southern California are vulnerable to mudslides, mudflows, and landslides. Ash and debris are created when trees and other objects are burned in wildfires, and this can cause the ground to become slick.

After multiple days of heavy rains provided Southern California with significant relief from a spate of catastrophic wildfires, experts are now warning of potential mudslides as debris flows run

The rain is raising concerns about potential mudslides in recent burn scar areas, including Malibu, Altadena, and other regions.

Burn-scar areas from the Palisades and Eaton fires avoided major issues from the weekend rain that tapered off Monday afternoon, with no significant weather events projected for the rest of the week. However, the threat of potential flash floods and debris flow is not yet over, with another chance of rain reported for early next week.
