How soon after a fire event would Public Works offer me mudflow protection advice for my property? How will I be notified?
We seek to offer in as timely a manner as possible advice to property owners in and below the burn areas. We aim to contact these property owners within a couple of weeks after the fire has been fully contained. The actual length of time it takes to contact the owners will depend on several things: the magnitude of the fire; how quickly the authorities deem it safe for us to access the area for field assessment; how quickly we can get burn boundary information; the number of properties we identify as potentially benefiting from advice.
