UPDATE: THANK YOU! Over 50 neighbors have responded to this call for help, including professionals and resources.
Dear Neighbors,
See the following note from Tomi Lyn Bowling, STNC VP Community Improvement and Land Use Chair.
--Cindy Cleghorn, Secretary
STNC
The foothills of Los Angeles are being warned of 3-4 storms back-to-back coming this way starting Sunday 1/17. The estimates now are for up to 20 inches of rainfall in the now denuded hills. This can be a tremendous down pour of rocks, debris and mud. There is no way to predict what gutters might back up, or where this rush of water can end up.
We need teams of strong people available on very short notice that can meet, form groups to sand bag, help evacuees or whatever is needed. This is when we pull together. BEFORE the event so we can effectively assist and avoid any horrible outcomes. Please email me, Tomi Lyn Bowling to tomi@tomirealty.com. If you can and are able to help in this effort send me your name, number and how you can help. We have little time to organize so please step up.
This video shows what can happen in rains over areas that have been denuded by fire:

Please sign up. We don't know where the blockages may be until they occur and then action is need PRONTO. Man power, bodies, help is needed at that time. If we are well prepared, maybe we won't actually need it!
Best,
Tomi
