Thousands of Santa Barbara County residents were ordered to evacuate Tuesday in preparation for a strong atmospheric river-fueled storm that officials worry could trigger debris flows in neighborhoods below hillsides scarred by wildfires.
Brown said basins constructed to catch debris have been “essentially completely cleaned out” in preparation for this storm. During the storm that triggered catastrophic mudslides in 2018,determined that the basins had not been completely emptied, which reduced their capacity to trap debris.
“They’re a protective measure, but they’re not completely going to stop something from happening in the event we have a major debris flow,” Brown said. Officials urged residents to comply with the evacuation order, warning that if they stay and a debris flow occurs, they could be trapped in their homes for several days.“Persons who refuse to comply with an evacuation order will not be forcibly removed from their home,” the county wrote on Twitter. “However, they should not expect rescue or other lifesaving assistance after the onset of the emergency event.
