Post-Fire Debris Flow Hazards View Maps LA County
Post-Fire Debris Flow Hazards View
Los Angeles County Public Works’ Debris Flow Forecasts assess potential debris-flow impacts in recently burned watershed areas based on weather, rainfall, watershed recovery, soil moisture, and other conditions. Forecasts are generally prepared for areas affected by major fires within the past four years and updated as storms approach. Debris Flow Phases range from No Phase (minimal potential) to Phase III (significant, widespread debris-flow potential and possible impacts to roads and structures). This hosted layer provides public access to the forecast data and supports use in the Los Angeles County Public Works Post-Fire Debris Flow Hazards Map and other emergency viewers.
Debris Flow Forecast Postings
Debris Flow Forecasts are posted to the Internet on Public Works’ Fire Disaster Information website: https://pw.lacounty.gov/wrd/Fire/. In addition, residents as well as public agencies can sign up for Public Works’ eNotify system to receive Phase alerts: https://pw.lacounty.gov/go/enotify/. Similarly, residents can sign up for “Alert LA County” to receive emergency notifications.

Homeowners Guide For Flood, Debris Flow, And Erosion Control
As we prepare for storm season, taking a few simple steps now can help protect your home, family, and property. The City of Los Angeles encourages residents to clear debris from drains and gutters, use sandbags to divert—not dam—stormwater, secure loose outdoor items, and inspect slopes for signs of erosion before heavy rain arrives. Homeowners in hillside areas should also maintain drainage systems, monitor retaining walls, and have emergency supplies ready before storms begin. Being prepared today can reduce the risk of flooding, debris flows, and erosion tomorrow. Learn more in the City of Los Angeles Homeowners Guide for Flood, Debris Flow, and Erosion Control.
