County plan to curb south coast floods with state and federal aid
County flood control officials, the Army Corps of Engineers, Forest Service, and Soil Conservation Service map a flood defense for the South Coastal area as a storm threatens. Debris basins channel work worth about 1.4 million dollars is planned in the Romero fire region. Despite preparations, officials warn some Carpinteria Valley zones face serious flooding if heavy multi day rain occurs, due to denuded foothills and mudslide risk.
