Fire Preparedness
Following the Silverado Fire and the evacuation of nearly 90,000 Irvine residents, the Irvine Police Department determined the need to expand the use of evacuations zones beyond just those communities threatened by wildland fires. The City’s new map now includes ALL-hazard evacuation zones for the entire City. Irvine residents are encouraged to become familiar with their zone prior to an emergency. Also, the City will use this map in real-time during emergencies to communicate zones under evacuation or shelter-in-place orders.
Additionally, OHVII’s landscape contractor, Villa Park Landscape, has complied with all Orange County Fire Authority regulations as it relates to fire preparedness and our community vegetation.
Below, is a map of all of the areas that were addressed during this year’s fuel modification clearance per the OCFA requirements.
