LADPW Debris and Mudflow Forecast Alert, 7:03am, 12/14/08 - posted on SierraMudre.info at 8:03am Received the following from LADPW mudflow alert system via e-mail: Duration time period 4am 12/14/08 - 4am 12/15/08 referencing National Weather Service at 3am on 12/14/08 - MUDFLOW Forecast Level - Phase I - It is recommended that emergency response entities monitor the following areas for potential mudflow deposition on: Auburn Avenue east of Auburn Debris Basin; the development under construction north of Carter Avenue; Carter Avenue between the development and Mira Monte Avenue; Mt. Wilson Trail near Mira Monte Avenue; Churchill Road near Skyland Drive; Skyland Drive; streets below Sierra Madre Debris Dam (Sumac Trail, Brookside Lane, Woodland Drive); Yucca Trail; Lotus Lane, above Camillo Street and Sturtevant Debris Basin; Sunrise Hill Lane; Santa Anita Canyon Road above Lannan Debris Basin.
It should be noted that residents may not experience any difficulty at all. LADPW is only advising emergency responders to monitor the situation. I'm not trying to cry wolf here, I'm merely informing the public that an alert has gone out. With the skies as blue as they are, it seems hard to believe that there could be a problem, but you never know with the weather. I'd rather put a notice of an alert up that proves to be no problem, than fail to put an alert notice up when it turns out to be needed. As of now, the City's emergency blog has not posted this alert.
