As we enter the fall season, the City of Temecula is sharing essential news, event updates, and important safety reminders. Here's what's happening around town:
Wildfire Preparedness: A Message from the City Manager
With multiple wildfires impacting Southern California and beyond, Temecula residents and businesses are urged to follow these three critical steps for wildfire preparedness:
- Sign up for emergency alerts at TemeculaCA.gov/Alerts. Make sure your family and employees are informed.
- Clear debris and landscape away from your home or business to create defensible space, which helps firefighters protect your property. For more tips, visit fire.ca.gov/home-hardening and readyforwildfire.org.
- Prepare emergency supplies for your household, including a go-bag in case of evacuation.
