Winter weather is here! Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall can bring the potential for rapid rises along our region's rivers, streams, and creeks and increased winds can mean downed trees, power outages, roadway flooding and shallow landslides. Please build in extra travel time and drive carefully in inclement weather. If you have not already, sign up for local emergency alerts at CruzAware.org.
