The conflagrations devastated steep slopes, which caused loss of vegetation and destabilization of the soil and greatly facilitated subsequent mudflows. The mudflows caused at least $177 million (2018 USD) in property damage, [2] and cost at least $7 million in emergency responses [2] and another $43 million (2018 USD) to clean up. [3]
