Dear Mayor Rowse,
I am pretty upset. I live on De la Vina Street, right below Haley. I work for the Montecito Association and have been heavily involved in both disaster recovery and emergency preparedness in that community. I used to work for the Coast Village Association in 2018, when the Debris Flow hit.
On Monday, I attended the press briefing at noon and then got busy communicating the evacuation of Montecito to the community. Then I thought to check the status of lower Mission Creek, behind my complex.
