    For several years after a , residents living in fire-affected areas face an increased risk of flooding and mudflows. Take action now to protect yourself! Learn more about flood insurance, including ’s National Flood Insurance Program:

    Flood after fire. Did you know wildfires dramatically alter the terrain and increase the risk of floods? Excessive amounts of rainfall can happen throughout the year. And properties directly affected by fires and those located below or downstream of burn areas are most at risk for flooding. 1) During normal conditions, vegetation helps absorb rainwater. 2) But after an intense wildfire, burned vegetation and charred soil form a water repellent layer, blocking water absorption. 3) During the next rainfall, water bounces off of the soil. 4) As a result, properties located below or downstream of the burn areas are at an increased risk for flooding. Degree of Land Slope - Higher degrees of land slope speed up water flow and increase flood risk. Flash Floods - Intense rainfall can flood low- lying areas in less than six hours. Flash floods roll boulders, tear out trees and destroy buildings and bridges. Mudflows - Rivers of liquid and flowing mud are caused by a combination of brush loss
