Camarillo Springs Prepared for Mudslides

We had less than 0.2 of an inch of rain as I recorded this snapshot of the red-tagged and at-risk homes in Camarillo Springs at 8am.  These VERY steep hillsides were denuded by the May 2015 Camarillo Springs Fire and have remained de-vegetated thanks to our ongoing, historic drought.

Emergency debris basins costing $2 million dollars, approved over the summer, were just competed a few weeks ago.  They have yet to be tested by any significant erosion, but all appears well at the moment.

279 homes were under voluntary evacuation orders as of 6am this morning.  Right now we have more media here than residents.
