Montecito Fire Department shares the following message in coordination with the County of Santa Barbara:

(SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif.) – In coordination with local, state and federal partners, the County of Santa Barbara is providing January 2023 Storm recovery and assistance resources throughout the County.

These resources can be found online through ReadySBC.org. Resources in Spanish can be found here. This online location of resources serves as a single point of access for essential resources and services available for community members who are beginning the process of rebuilding and recovery, following the storms’ impact.

In addition to online resources, a physical one-stop shop, Local Assistance Center (LAC) will be open this Saturday, Jan. 21 in Montecito.

Montecito Local Assistance Center: English and Spanish speakers on site.
