Everything that decides a day in Santa Barbara County, read for Santa Barbara, with nearby bars, highways, water and fire districts included where they affect the day, even when they sit outside the county.
Only the handful of changes that decide a day, and only for the town you have picked. No account. As a notification, we keep which of these you ticked and your town, and nothing else about you. By email, we keep the address too, only to send these, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe that deletes it. Privacy

Public-safety and marine radio from this county that somebody is streaming online, with what each feed carries.
The Sheriff is on two feeds here, and the Sheriff’s Office polices every town on this board but the city — Goleta, Isla Vista, Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria are all its. Santa Barbara Police is not on a feed of its own. The rest is the county fire department, and one feed says in its own words that it carries the Coast Guard and marine VHF as well. Start with the Sheriff’s main channel.
Run by volunteers, not by any agency. They play an ad first, run a minute or so behind the radio, and can go quiet without notice; Broadcastify’s page for each one shows whether it is on. Not a way to get help: call 911.
