With a storm bringing a risk of mudslides and debris flows, some areas of Los Angeles recently burned by wildfires are facing mandatory orders and warnings to evacuate their homes as the region braces for heavy rain and possible flooding.

The Los Angeles Fire Department issued evacuation warnings on Tuesday for residents living in the areas of the city savaged by recent wildfires ahead of heavy rain and mudslides expected later this week.

An approaching storm that could bring thunderstorms and heavy rain prompted officials to issue an evacuation warning and close a portion of Pacific Coast Highway through the Palisades Fire burn area Wednesday.
