Storm Monitoring Operations Santa Barbara County Flood Control District Hydrology Division

Overview of Operations Confer with meteorologists to assess timing and severity of predicted storms. Monitor “real time” data from remote weather stations and stream gages during storm event. Run SYR model to predict potential timing, magnitude and location of flooding. Coordinate with emergency services, other County agencies and the media.
