While droughts and floods may seem like opposite extremes, one often leads to the other โ and the impacts can be severe. Hereโs how dry conditions across Kings County could make us more vulnerable when rain does return:
๐ซ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ง๐๐, ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ก๐จ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐ข๐ฅ โ After long dry spells, soil can become compacted or even water-repellent, preventing rain from soaking in and increasing the risk of runoff and flash flooding.
๐ฑ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง โ Drought weakens or kills plants that normally stabilize soil and absorb water. Without them, rainwater flows faster across the surface, contributing to erosion and flooding.
๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ค โ Drought conditions can fuel wildfires, which strip the land of vegetation and leave behind ash-covered soil that absorbs even less water.

Kings REMO encourages everyone to stay aware of these hidden connections between drought and flooding. Stay informed and be prepared โ because weather can change quickly.
