September is National Preparedness Month
Don't wait, prepare today
In honor of National Preparedness Month, the City of Mission Viejo is encouraging residents to register for its mass-notification system AlertOC. This targeted notification system will alert you when there is an imminent threat to life safety with required actions including evacuation orders. All landline phone numbers are preregistered in the system. You need to register your address, cell phone for calls and text messages, email address, and TDD/TYY devices. You can register multiple addresses, phone numbers, and emails including your home, work, etc.
Simply register your cell phone for calls and texts, email addresses and TDD/TY devices at AlertOC.com.
Along with registering for AlertOC, please pack emergency and "go" kits to sustain you, your family members and pets for several days without food, water, electricity and other essential items after a disaster.
Don't wait! Prepare now!
