PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.

The saturated ground has produced conditions ripe for landslides and
debris flows on steep slopes around the area. Residents with homes
on or at the base of hillsides should be aware of the potential for
landslides and watch for trees leaning in unusual orientations,
water and mud seepage where not expected and other signs of
potential ground movement.
