Afterwards, winter storms caused debris flows that resulted a tragic loss of life and significant damage to infrastructure and changes to the ground conditions</span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman"; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12pt;'>. </span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman"; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12pt;'>After these events, Recovery Maps were developed so that communities and citizens make better informed decisions about rebuilding. </span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px;'>Mapping hazards is vital for safe disaster recovery; it provides the data necessary for new construction and creates awareness of risk. As communities recover from the devastating effects of these recent events, it is important to recognize valuable lessons learned. Santa Barbara County plans to use the updated elevation information generated from this study to rebuild stronger, safer, and with reduced vulnerability to future disaster events. When making building elevation decisions, compare the effective FIRM to the new Recovery Map, and use the higher elevation and wider high-hazard area. Property and business owners should consult with their local building official to fully understand how this new data can be used to support rebuilding efforts. The Recovery Maps do not impact rating for flood Insurance.</span></font></div><div><font color='#000000'><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px;'><br /></span></font></div>

The modeling and analyses also provide a basis for future mapping that may be used to update the FIRM for Santa Barbara County. However, due to the complex nature of debris flow events and the unknown degree of uncertainty of the assumptions made, actual areas of future inundation depend on conditions that may be different from what is shown in the mapping tool. The Recovery Maps should only be used to guide rebuilding along with information from the FEMA FIRM and County guidance. </span><span style='box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;'>This Recovery Mapping will NOT be used to determine evacuations. Evacuations will be based on other factors and mapping.</span></font></div><div><font color='#000000'><span style='box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;'><br /></span></font></div>
