Aliso Viejo Presents Wildfire‑Preparedness Proclamation; OCFA Urges 'Ready, Set, Go'
Summary
The council presented a wildfire‑preparedness proclamation to the Orange County Fire Authority. Fire Division Chief Mike Summers described drought and wind conditions, recent deployments and urged residents to follow the Ready, Set, Go steps for home and evacuation readiness.
The Aliso Viejo City Council presented a proclamation recognizing wildfire awareness and preparedness season and invited the Orange County Fire Authority to accept it. Fire Division Chief Mike Summers described higher wildfire risk driven by persistent drought, warmer temperatures and severe winds, noted OCFA deployments to incidents including the Eaton and Palisades fires, and emphasized community preparedness through public education and evacuation planning.
Summers outlined the Ready, Set, Go program and the three key preparedness steps: "The R in Ready, Set, Go is ready your home by clearing vegetation and combustible materials away from your home," he said, and added that residents should have a disaster kit and evacuation plan. He also recommended actions such as closing windows and garage doors when a wildfire approaches and directed residents to ocfa.org/rsg for additional information. The council presented the proclamation and posed for a group photo; no formal policy change was proposed at the meeting.
