Here are some resources to help you plan and respond as the coronavirus marches into our local communities.

As you know, Coronavirus (COVID-19) has reached Santa Barbara County. Be sure to track only trusted sources such as the Public Health Department site and its useful links.

State and Federal public health sites, plus the Google site are other ways to gain perspective as the situation unfolds.

Community partner SB Bucket Brigade has produced an excellent video summary of how neighborhoods can activate to safely support one another at the most local level. The segment running from 14:00 to 27:30 contains very practical—and safe—ways to reach out and support one another.
