Residents in burn scar areas should be ready to evacuate if needed. City and county agencies have readied streets for debris flow with K-rails and sandbags, as a storm moves in on Wednesday, Feb.

A new rain storm is bearing down on California, including fire-ravaged Los Angeles, where residents are bracing for the possibility of mudslides and landslides.

Forecasters released a breakdown Tuesday of where and when heavy rainfall this week is expected to hit areas of Southern California left burn-scarred by recent wildfires, raising the risk of potentially dangerous debris flows in those parts of the region.

Due to the risk of flooding and mudslides as the storm ramps up on Thursday, the Los Angeles Fire Department issued evacuation warnings for areas near recent burn zones.
