The most dramatic event of the Spanish period was the powerful 1812 earthquake, and tsunami, with an estimated magnitude of 7.1, which destroyed the Mission as well as the rest of the town; water reached as high as present-day Anapamu street, and carried a ship half a mile up Refugio Canyon. The Mission was rebuilt by 1820 after the earthquake. Following the earthquake, the Mission fathers chose to rebuild in a grander manner, and it is this construction that survives to the present day, the best-preserved of the California Missions, and still functioning as an active church by the Franciscans. After the Mexican government secularized the missions in the 1830s, the baptismal, marriage, and burial records of other missions were transferred to Santa Barbara, and now found in the Santa Barbara Mission Archive-Library. C-SPAN has produced a program on the mission and the mission archive-library.

AI Overview
Overview of Local Drug Testing
Drug testing is a common procedure used in various contexts, including employment, sports, and law enforcement, to detect the presence of controlled substances in an individual's system. Local drug testing refers to drug tests administered within a specific locality or community, often facilitated by local healthcare providers, testing facilities, or through workplace initiatives. This overview provides consumers with key information about the purposes, methods, and implications of local drug testing.
Purposes of Drug Testing
Drug testing serves several purposes:
- Employment: Employers may require drug testing to ensure a safe and productive work environment, often as a part of pre-employment screening or randomly throughout employment.
- Sports: Athletes are regularly tested to maintain fair competition and deter the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
- Legal and Forensic: Drug testing can be ordered by courts in cases of drug-related offenses or in custody disputes.
- Medical Reasons: Healthcare providers may perform drug tests to diagnose substance abuse disorders or monitor treatment efficacy.
Common Drug Testing Methods
Several methods are used for drug testing, each with its own specific applications and detection windows:
- Urine Testing: The most common method due to its non-invasiveness and ability to detect a wide range of substances within hours to a few weeks after use.
- Blood Testing: Provides a more accurate measurement of active substances in the body but is more invasive and used less frequently.
- Saliva Testing: Gaining popularity for its non-invasive nature and ability to detect recent drug use.
- Hair Follicle Testing: Can detect drug use over a longer period, typically up to 90 days, making it useful for detailed monitoring.
Legal and Ethical Considerations
Drug testing is governed by various legal and ethical guidelines that protect individuals' rights:
- Consent: In most cases, individuals must provide informed consent before undergoing drug testing.
- Privacy: Results from drug tests are considered private health information and must be handled according to privacy laws.
- Accuracy: Testing facilities must adhere to strict standards to ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.

About Santa Barbara
Local Area Info: Santa Barbara, California
Santa Barbara (Spanish: Santa Bárbara) is the county seat of Santa Barbara County in the U.S. state of California. Situated on a south-facing section of coastline, the longest such section on the West Coast of the United States, the city lies between the steeply rising Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Santa Barbara's climate is often described as Mediterranean, and the city has been promoted as the "American Riviera". As of 2014, the city had an estimated population of 91,196, up from 88,410 in 2010, making it the second most populous city in the county after Santa Maria. The contiguous urban area, which includes the cities of Goleta and Carpinteria, along with the unincorporated regions of Isla Vista, Montecito, Mission Canyon, Hope Ranch, Summerland, and others, has an approximate population of 220,000. The population of the entire county in 2010 was 423,895.
In addition to being a popular tourist and resort destination, the city economy includes a large service sector, education, technology, health care, finance, agriculture, manufacturing, and local government. In 2004, the service sector accounted for fully 35% of local employment. Education in particular is well represented, with four institutions of higher learning on the south coast (the University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara City College, Westmont College, and Antioch University). The Santa Barbara Airport serves the city, Santa Barbara Aviation provides jet charter aircraft and train service is provided by Amtrak the Pacific Surfliner which runs from San Diego to San Luis Obispo). U.S. Highway 101 connects the Santa Barbara area with Los Angeles to the southeast and San Francisco to the northwest. Behind the city, in and beyond the Santa Ynez Mountains, is the Los Padres National Forest, which contains several remote wilderness areas. Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary are located approximately 20 miles (32 km) offshore.
Evidence of human habitation of the area begins at least 13,000 years ago. Evidence for a Paleoindian presence includes a fluted Clovis-like point found in the 1980s along the western Santa Barbara County coast, as well as the remains of Arlington Springs Man, found on Santa Rosa Island in the 1960s. An estimated 8,000 to 10,000 Chumash lived on the south coast of Santa Barbara County at the time of the first European explorations.[citation needed]
Santa Barbara Employee Drug Testing
Businesses that utilize an employee drug testing program are commonly referred to as a Drug Free Workplace. However, many times companies do not fully qualify as a Drug Free Workplace because the drug testing program which they use does not have all of the components which make up a true Drug Free Workplace.
The benefits of being a true Drug Free Workplace can include but are not limited to:
- Enhanced Employee Performance
- Reduced Job-Related Accidents
- Reduced Employee Absenteeism
- Lower Workers Compensation Rates
- Improved Employee Moral
- Customer Satisfaction
In addition, many companies regardless of size report that being a Drug Free Workplace has increased the quality of job applicants and improved the overall workplace environment.
Also many states such as Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, Wyoming, Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas, Washington provide by law a discount on workers compensation insurance rates provided a business qualifies as a Drug Free Workplace in accordance with state law.
