In anticipation of impending storms and to ensure the safety of residents in flood-prone areas, the City of Santa Barbara has activated its Emergency Storm Parking program. The initiative, directed by the City Administrator, aims to provide a complimentary parking solution for registered vehicles during specified storm periods.
Residents residing in flood-prone zones are encouraged to take advantage of this service by registering their vehicles through the designated online portal. Activation of the Emergency Storm Parking program will be announced on the portal, along with the address of the designated public parking lot and the specified registration window.
To access this service, residents must adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Register:
- Residents are required to register their vehicles online during the specified activation window. It is crucial to complete this step to avoid being charged at the standard hourly parking rate.
2. Park:
- Upon activation, registered vehicles should proceed to the designated public parking lot. Residents must park their vehicles in the assigned area to ensure efficient storm preparedness.
