Drought conditions are more than just a lack of rain โ they can worsen the risks of both wildfires and flooding in Kings County.
๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ค:
Prolonged dry periods weaken or kill off vegetation, creating dry fuel that can ignite easily. Drought-stressed trees and plants are also more vulnerable to insects and disease, increasing the chance of widespread forest dieback.
๐ง๏ธ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ค:
After a drought, the soil becomes compacted and vegetation dies off. When heavy rain finally arrives, the ground canโt absorb water like it used to โ causing more runoff and raising the risk of flash floods.
๐ข ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐:
Drought is a hidden threat. Know the risks, conserve water, and stay informed
