Additional Rain coming to Montecito this Weekend

2023年1月12日，星期四，中午

As we shake off this past week's rain storm 和 large-scale weather event, 我想让你知道, 根据国家气象局, additional rain is expected this weekend 和 next week. While the upcoming rainfall will not be nearly as severe as what we saw this past Monday, the NWS stated three new systems will be coming through our area:

周六, 1月14日, the first 和 largest of the upcoming systems will hit our area with expected rains of 2-3" in the foothills.

Sunday, January 15th, in the evening, with an expected rainfall of up to 1"

Wednesday, January 18th, with an expected rainfall of up to 1"

The county 和 NWS do not expect anything close to the level of flooding we saw this week, but be prepared to receive additional warnings to your phones from the NWS 和 County Office of 应急管理. Also, please remember that Westmont observes Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 和 there will be no classes on Monday, January 16th. If you plan to travel for the extended weekend, please use caution 和 pay attention to weather 和 road alerts. We also recommend staying put once the rain starts to fall to avoid any potentially dangerous issues while travelling.

话虽如此, I want to reiterate that our campus has been designated as a Shelter-in-Place location per the County Sheriff's Department 和 Montecito Fire, 和 this was confirmed with Montecito Fire on Monday (hence why Westmont was allowed to keep community members on campus 和 wait out the storm here while the rest of Montecito was required to evacuate). 校园将一直开放到本周末, 和, 就像你在上周一看到的那样, our campus is one of the safest places to be when flooding or debris flows occur.

Welcome to the Office of 机构的弹性

Keeping our resources applied to our mission — in the areas of

风险管理
应急管理
合规管理

Westmont is funded primarily by tuition 和 donations, both of which are often sacrificial. We don't want those precious resources spent on injuries, claims, lawsuits 和 other misfortunes. Our job in 机构的弹性 is to prevent 和 minimize these losses. 我们通过制定政策来做到这一点, procedures 和 other measures to help us keep bad things from happening—和 to be ready to respond well when some of them inevitably do.

Thank you for your interest in how we manage the risks we face.
