02/14/2019 (United States) - According to local media sources on Thursday, 14 February, evacuations have been ordered for various areas of Riverside County that were previously affected by the Holy Fire. The evacuations come as immense rain is expected to impact the southern California area through Thursday afternoon. The fragile terrain in the areas affected by the Holy Fire is susceptible to mud and debris flows which occur frequently and with little notice. Further evacuations are likely as the rains continue.
Members are advised to closely monitor local media outlets for weather-related updates and for any public announcements or advice. Members should strictly adhere to any directives issued by local authorities. Motorists should exercise extreme caution due to likely hazardous driving conditions caused by surface water and floating debris.
