Los Angeles receives minimal annual rainfall, averaging just 15 inches compared to the national average of 38 inches. This creates a false sense of security. When atmospheric rivers and winter storm systems arrive, they deliver months of typical rainfall in 24 to 48 hours. Drainage systems designed for light, intermittent rain cannot handle these concentrated events. Soil that remains dry for months becomes hydrophobic, repelling water instead of absorbing it. This drives runoff toward structures and overwhelms perimeter drainage systems. Properties in hillside areas face additional risks from debris flows and slope saturation. Storm damage mitigation in Los Angeles must account for these intense, infrequent events that exceed typical weather patterns and catch property owners unprepared.
