Los Angeles officials warn of potential mudslides in fire-affected areas like Altadena and Malibu as heavy rain is expected through Monday.

Burn scars from the Eaton and Palisades fires increase the risk, with crews taking preemptive measures, including clearing storm drains and placing sandbags.

Residents, such as Pacific Palisades homeowner Joan Herman, fear slides could now threaten their homes, KTLA has reported.

A flood watch remains in effect, and authorities urge preparations, including using sandbags and being ready to evacuate if necessary.
