Fire Reminds Us That Preparation is Key
Our thoughts go to the tens of thousands of area residents impacted by the Thomas Fire, which tore through neighboring cities destroying more than 1,000 structures. From Thousand Oaks, smoke dominated the horizon for weeks and flames dotted the hillsides, reminding us that disaster can strike anywhere. Take time to ensure you and your family are ready for the unexpected by visiting our
website for information on how to prepare for an emergency, how to receive emergency alerts from the County, and where to find essential information during an emergency.
