Following this crisis properly means reading quarterly federal updates, water board agendas, and a lot of local reporting. That's what this site is for, and once a month I go back through it and check what has actually moved.
This is how you get that without doing the reading.
What you'll get
One email a month, covering the things that changed since the last one:
- Projects that moved. A status that shifted, a date that slipped, money that was committed or spent — from the project tracker, with the source for each.
- Things that finished, and things that stalled. Both matter, and the second is easier to miss.
- Anything new worth knowing, like a new agreement, a study, or a decision with a date attached.
- Volunteer opportunities, when there are any. If that's the part you care about, say so on the form.
No campaigning, no fundraising, and nothing about anything you didn't ask about.
What you won't get
This isn't a beach status alert. Conditions change faster than a monthly email, and getting that wrong could put someone in the water on a bad day. For that, use Is it safe today? and the county's own sources, or sign up for the air district's hydrogen sulfide alerts, which are linked there.
When it arrives
About once a month, after the check is done. Some months there is a lot to report and some months very little; if nothing has changed, the email says so rather than padding it out.
Get the monthly update
Your email, and nothing else. One message a month, and you can say what you're interested in.
Your details
The form is hosted by Tally. What you type goes to Tally and then to me. Your details are used to send you this update and nothing else — never sold, and never passed to anyone else. Ask at any time to be taken off the list and you will be. How this site handles data.
