Official government and civic information sources

Santa Cruz County supervisors — meeting agendas and minutes ↗
Links include verified government announcements, public records and meeting calendars; not every link is a live agenda or an automated feed. Open the issuing agency's page to verify current dates, notices and changes. Last registry review: 2026-10-19.

Direct government links are available above. Automatic document feeds will appear here after the issuing agency's supported source is verified; an unverified schedule will never be invented.

Official roads, weather, wildfire, earthquake & air-quality tools for Watsonville

For Watsonville (Santa Cruz County): use these real public-agency tools to select your community and check current conditions. The links are not claims that an emergency is occurring, a specific road is closed or a reading is available for every rural ZIP code.

For evacuations, shelters, water-system outages, local school closures and public-health orders, follow the responsible county or special-district authority shown in the verified local government links above. Official instructions take priority over general newsroom summaries. Call 911 in an immediate emergency.
