Residents between Aldercroft Heights above Los Gatos and Loma Prieta Peak off Summit Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains share concerns about mudslides in a burn area, after heavy rains on oversaturated bare slopes. A warning of 'abundant mudslides' was downgraded to a mudslide watch in recent days. Residents managed localized debris flows and cleared culverts. Continuing rain would have posed far greater risks. Reseeding and reforesting of the landscape by Project Mudbuster and the California Department of Forestry, are mentioned as effective measures that reduced erosion and mudslide risk.
