Santa Barbara residents became painfully aware of our disaster hazard when the recent Tea Fire destroyed over 230 homes.

These natural and man-made disasters have shaped our city since the beginning of time. Get detailed accounts from experts and people that have experienced these disasters first hand. This program will also give you an introduction to emergency preparedness and serves as a prologue for City TV’s 4-part emergency preparedness series, Get Ready Santa Barbara.
