Safety Assessments
CALL 911 for all life safety concerns (examples: fire, flood, debris flow, imminent failure of structures or slopes)
If your structure has been impacted by storm-related hazards and you believe it could be unsafe, please vacate the residence immediately and call (831) 454-3171 to request a safety assessment by a County Building Inspector.
If your structure has not been impacted but is threatened by land sliding or erosion above or below your residence, please vacate the residence immediately and request a geologic safety assessment via email to: GeologicHazards@santacruzcounty.us.
If you are calling to report road-related storm damage issues that need immediate attention by maintenance staff (i.e. plugged culverts, drainage inlets, road slip-outs) please call Public Works Road Dispatch at (831) 477-3999.
Please note that response times will vary, depending on number of calls and road access.
