After a wildfire like the Lake Christine Fire, the terrain is altered. The threat of debris and mudslides is real.
Debris and mud flows are rivers of rock, earth, and other debris saturated with water. They develop when water rapidly accumulates in the ground, during heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt, changing the earth into a flowing river of mud or “slurry.” They can flow rapidly, striking with little or no warning at avalanche speeds. They also can travel several miles from their source, growing in size as they pick up trees, boulders, cars, and other materials.
Want information on threats of mudslides, debris flows or flash floods in the Lake Christine burn scar area? Text LCFLOOD to 888777.
Después de un incendio forestal como el incendio Lake Christine, la tierra esta alterada. La amenaza de flujos de escombros y lavas de lodo es real.
Flujos de escombros y lodo son ríos de piedras, tierra, y otros escombros saturado con agua. Se desarrolla cuando el agua se acumula en la tierra, durante fuertes lluvias o la nieve se derrite rápidamente, cambiando la tierra a un rio de lodo. Puede fluir rápidamente con poquita o ninguna advertencia de atacar a la velocidad de avalanchas. También pueden viajar varias millas del inicio, creciendo mientras recoge árboles, piedras grandes, vehículos, u otros materiales.
¿Desea información sobre amenazas de lavas de lodo, flujos de escombros o inundaciones repentinas en el área quemada de Lake Christine? Envié un mensaje LCFLOOD a 888777.
