Fire crews got the Sawtooth and San Bernardino
fires under control
(check out the intensely cool maps). Crews were helped by rain, but after the fires there's too little vegetation to accept the water—meaning the prospect of mudslides
.
I have been looking around for preparedness and prevention tools on the same level with tornadoes, fires and floods, but there is a lot
less on "Mudslide Preparedness."
I get this, though: Preparedness
is about understanding warning signs
. Please leave a comment or email me with the steps you take to prepare for 'Slides.
As Wikipedia describes, slides can be slow or fast. Prediction is based on several factors, and warnings are issued. The response is evacuation
—not like you have time to build a wall
before you go.
