Green Flag flies in Sierra Madre
The Sierra Madre emergency alert system is flying a green flag today -- which means the city is in Stage One alert mode for potential mudslides.
The system alerts residents to mudslide danger on local hillsides. It grew out of a wildfire last spring that destroyed several acres fo brush in the foothills just above the tiny San Gabriel Valley community.
Here's what a Green Flag means, according to the site:
The City's state of emergency level is now at Stage One: GREEN FLAG--Activated under a prediction of 80%--100% chance of precipitation. Affected residents should get "READY" for potential evacuation. This includes keeping a close watch on weather forecasts.
