Montecito Mudslide US&R Update
Channel: Cal OES
Date: 2018-01-17

Mutual aid crews from around California continue to work at this hour to reopen Highway 101 in Santa Barbara, city and county roads and push forward with urban search and rescue missions. It’s now been one week since the mudslide devastated this area, taking lives and displacing others. The transition to search and recovery has been made, with a top priority of finding the three persons still missing. Evacuation areas are still not safe for anyone to travel, but the overall recovery mission is ongoing, and local, state and federal resources are fully committed.
