The reason for this was the threat of landslides due to heavy rains in the territories burned out by forest fires at the end of 2017, according to Reuters.

Residents of Santa Barbara County, who live in the regions where the fires occurred, were asked to leave their homes by noon Tuesday.

The county authorities noted that the threat of floods and landslides is very high, which can lead to the closure of roads in the region, and this will complicate the evacuation process.

This evacuation order is the fifth in the last 4 of the month in this region, first people were evacuated due to fires, and then due to landslides.

Some residents complained that it was extremely difficult to leave their homes every few weeks due to possible dangers due to the weather.

A storm in Southern California is expected on March 20-22, according to forecasts it will lead to heavy rains and rain will fall out of 12-25.

At the end of 2017, forest fires broke out in Southern California, which received the status of the largest in the history of the state. They led to the burning of vegetation, which made the ground vulnerable to rains and led to a high risk of landslides in the region.

9 January after rain in Santa Barbara County due severe landslides killed more than 20 people.
