BOULDER CREEK, Calif .–

More rain is on the way this weekend and there are concerns in the Santa Cruz Mountains over mudslides in areas scorched by the CZU Lightning Fire.

Light showers fell for much of the week, but this Sunday a bigger storm appears to be moving that could force some mountain residents to evacuate.

“We would be ready to go… to go. Yeah! We’re not going to stay!” said Jaime Evare, who is ready to evacuate on order.

Her neighborhood is in the burn scar area and this mountain slope overlooks her house.

“We took out the resource conservation district after the fire and they checked our slope but weren’t very worried but a little bit, we’ll see,” Evare said.

The areas most at risk are those that burned down in the CZU fire more than a year ago.

Especially the east-facing slopes in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

“Our emergency managers always focus on the most critical locations to start evacuations, so I don’t know specific locations for you now, but what I can tell you is that many of the areas of concerns that existed last year were areas of concern for rain this year, ”said Mark Strudley, director of the Santa Cruz County Flood Control Division.

Fire departments are closely monitoring the situation and are actively working to ensure logistics are in place if the order to relocate is given.

“If they get an evacuation order, it means they have to leave, they have to leave the area because they could pose an imminent threat to that area,” said the head of the San Mateo-Santa Cruz unit, Ian Larkin.

Emergency crews have asked residents to “know their areas” and check the community.zonehaven.com website so they can quickly evacuate and prepare.

“I think I could get ready relatively quickly. I don’t have a lot of stuff in general so I think it could be boxed and ready in maybe half an hour,” said Ryo Harris. of Boulder Creek.

The San Lorenzo Valley High School Gymnasium is currently being set up as a much needed shelter site.
