The recent Canyon Fire burned 2662 acres, heavily impacting our City. Some of these burned areas have highly erosive soils on very steep slopes. The fire consumed much of the vegetation and soil cover which has subsequently increased the risk of erosion, flash flooding, and debris flows within and downslope of the fire area.
Rainfall can trigger these events, so it is important to understand the risks and be mindful of predicted weather, as these will be hazards we are susceptible to for multiple years.
The Corona Fire Department has put together some helpful resources for residents in these areas to take time to prepare for these types of events, and will hold a community meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2017 at 6 p.m. in the Circle City Center, located at 365 N. Main Street.
