“Post wildfire flash flooding and debris flows are a realistic threat in Southern California for homes
and communities located within or along a wildland urban interface that has experienced a recent
wildfire. It is crucial to plan and prepare for this type of hazard to prevent and reduce the loss of life
and property, and to develop community resilience.
The National Weather Service Office in Oxnard, CA has prepared and printed this comprehensive
guide in a user-friendly manner with step-by-step guidance on what to do before, during, and after
floods that could potentially follow recent wildfires.”
While designed for Southern California, resources and materials are largely applicable nationwide.
