Stay Safe: Know the Hazards

This weather event could lead to potential hazards, particularly in areas affected by recent wildfires. The risk of landslides and debris flows is heightened due to unstable soil conditions and the expected heavy rain. These events pose risks to public safety and local infrastructure.

Additionally, communities with poor drainage systems may experience water pooling or localized flooding. Residents in low-lying areas should be particularly cautious.
