California officials brace for post-fire floods
Despite progress in containing wildfires across the Palisades, Los Angeles remains on high alert due to continuing strong winds. Adding to the challenges, California officials are now preparing for post-fire risks, such as flooding and landslides.
As reported by The Weather Network, wildfires significantly alter the environment. They destroy trees and vegetation that anchor the soil, and when these roots are removed, the loosened soil becomes more prone to being washed away during heavy rains.
