With the warm weather outside, it’s tough to think about the possibility of upcoming winter storms. However, the City wants to make sure our residents are planning ahead. Do you have flood insurance? Is your emergency kit ready to go? Do you know where in the City you can pick up free sandbags? Click here to find out the answer to those questions and more.

If you are not already signed up to receive emergency alerts from the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management, we encourage you to do so at www.ReadySBC.org.

The City provides emergency information, but the alerts are sent by the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management, Santa Barbara County Fire or the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office.
