Every hour of the day, somewhere in the world, a natural disaster strikes a community. In most cases, these communities are unprepared for any type of disaster or emergency, and consequently there is a greater loss of life and injury simply because residents are uninformed and unprepared.
   
Mutual Aid

The City is a member of the Orange County Operation Area and the Orange County Emergency Management Organization. Both of these entities provide mutual aid to communities via the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Orange County Fire Authority and the State of California Office of Emergency Services.
