For the last 13 hours, helicopter crews from the United States Coast Guard FOB Point Mugu and Air Station San Diego assisted the Incident Command Post in Santa Barbara on Search Rescue efforts for multiple, major mud slides in the Santa Barbara and Carpentaria areas. Our crews, operating through heavy rain squalls, were the first on-scene to conduct medical evacuations and damage assessments. Throughout the day we rescued over 30 people, most notably a family of 5 with 2 children, a toddler and 2 dogs. Great coordination by U.S. Coast Guard Los Angeles in keeping our crews safe...more updates to come! #uscg #guardiansofthegoldengate #mudslide
