Subject: FIRE INFORMATION FROM THE FUND FOR SANTA BARBARA

Dear Friends & Neighbors -
 
As we all try to track the rapidly moving Jesusita fire, I want to make sure that we all have as much accurate information as possible:
 
1. FIRE INFORMATION
There are many sources of information, but one of the best primary sources from the various emergency services is on the Santa Barbara County website - http://www.countyofsb.org/ceo/dept0.aspx
 
Other local on-line sources include:
The Santa Barbara Independent - http://www.independent.com/news/jesusita-fire/
You may also call the County of Santa Barbara's Call Center at (805) 681-5197 for more information.
 
2. EVACUATIONS
Given the speed with which the conditions are changing, please be aware of your proximity to the fire, prepare to evacuate if you feel threatened or are in the evacuation warning areas (see maps at the above websites), and leave when asked by emergency service personnel (or sooner if you feel threatened).
 
3. MANY EVENTS CANCELLED
The VAST majority of events in the Santa Barbara area over the coming few days have been canceled due to the fire. We will try to keep up on our calendar, but a good guideline is to assume that events are canceled and email or call the organizers before showing up.
 
Hoping you are all safe,
 
Geoff Green, Executive Director
