In our area, Flash Flooding was certainly the stepchild of Wildfire… And unfortunately, “fire mitigation” is often working at cross-purposes to “flash flood mitigation”. Our region dances between the two. In the pass, we’ve had boulders the size of two SUVs slide down nearly to the highway.
Another aspect with such huge damage in large areas….for many this will be a relocation rather than an evacuation. This was seriously the case last spring when Big Island’s lava vents and flows rendered MANY properties uninhabitable for the foreseeable future. How do you reestablish ALL the utilities for everyone…let alone housing? How do you relocate so many people? Winter cometh…even in CA.
