Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Kris Concepcion, an agency spokesman, said he could not comment on the reports because he had not read them thoroughly.
He said that although the county does have fire evacuation plans in place for its rural reaches, there are currently no such plans for floods or mudslides. But he said a task force of county officials and staff has been meeting to develop an emergency contingency plan.
Concepcion would not comment on whether reverse 911 or door-to-door notification systems might be used but said all options would be explored.
Modjeska Canyon, including its firehouse, lost power and phone service during much of the Santiago wildfire.
Sheriff's officials circled the narrow, unlit back roads issuing evacuation orders over bullhorns, and volunteer firefighters banged on doors to alert people.
All of the reports will be available on U.S. Forest Service websites in the coming days.
