Preparing to Evacuate

Living in California means you are exposed to many different disasters including wildfires and earthquakes.   Emergency services officials may direct residents to evacuate and/or shelter-in-place during a disaster.  Knowing your evacuation zone is critical to take potentially life-saving measures during a disaster.

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, August 6 from 5-8 pm when Mission Viejo joins thousands of communities nationwide for the annual National Night Out community safety event at Melinda Park. 

In celebration of our safe City, Mission Viejo Police Services is hosting a fun family-friendly event that fosters positive relationships between law enforcement and the community.

In honor of Bike Safety Month, the City of Mission Viejo is excited to announce the installation of a temporary pumptrack. The track will be located along the Oso Creek Trail just below the Norman P. Murray Community Center's playground in the Celebration Garden next to the bridge.

A pumptrack is a closed circuit track consisting of rollers, banked turns, and other features that allow riders to use their momentum to propel themselves forward. It's a fun and challenging way to practice bike skills and improve fitness.
