Newly released maps show the areas in Santa Barbara County that are most at risk of a tsunami.
The California Department of Conservation encourages residents to locate where they live, work, and visit on the map. If any of those locations are in the yellow hazard area, make a plan to move to the “safe” green area after feeling an earthquake or when an official evacuation notification is received.
The populated areas in the county that appear to be most at risk are: Devereux Slough surrounding areas, Goleta Slough and into the Santa Barbara Airport, UC Santa Barbara Lagoon, Hendry’s Beach, El Estero, and Santa Barbara’s waterfront area from Shoreline Beach to the Bird Refuge reaching parts of Gutierrez Street.
The updated maps can be viewed here.
Bless you for your concern.
May I ask you to now generously donate to the soon to be created 501(c)3 named The Hope Floats Project where we will be funding the purchase and distribution of Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) to all unhoused individuals residing in the threatened zones.
Thank you and don’t forget to ask for your free Hope Floats tote-bag saying that you cared.
