Goleta Makes Emergency Preparedness a Priority

摘要

Earthquakes, fires and other disasters can strike a community at any time. Preparing for an emergency and knowing what to do when one occurs is the focus of the Goleta Prepare Now/Goleta Preparese Hoy program. The City of Goleta (pop. 28,000), located on the Pacific coast in southern Santa Barbara County, has made emergency preparedness a priority for its community. The city wanted to ensure that residents, employees, businesses and visitors are adequately prepared for a range of potential disasters, including earthquakes, wildfires, floods and tsunamis, and the prolonged power outages, communication interruptions and evacuations that typically accompany such events.
