**** Via REMO Kings Cty 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 Drought conditions are more than just a lack of rain — they can worsen the risks of both wildfires and flooding in Kings County. 🔥 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤: 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. 🌧️ 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤: After a drought, the soil becomes compacted and vegetation dies off. When heavy rain finally arrives, the ground can’t absorb water like it used to — causing more runoff and raising the risk of flash floods. 📢 𝐁𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝: Drought is a hidden threat. Know the risks, conserve water, and stay informed -
