作为未来规划工作的一部分，拉古纳伍兹市正准备更新其生物资源清单（总体规划保护要素是关于城市如何随着时间的推移发展、开发和管理其资源的长期蓝图或总体规划）。

为了支持这项工作，该市聘请了顾问 LSA，他们将在整个社区（包括村庄内的一些区域）进行调查。

调查队将于 5 月 5 日那一周出动。除了实地调查外，LSA 还将使用无人机拍摄更新的航拍照片，用于城市规划和报告。

在此期间，您可能会注意到某些区域周围有测量员和小型无人机。请注意，这项工作是例行工作，重点是记录环境状况，预计不会影响日常活动。

The recent earthquake near Julian, California, serves as an important reminder that being prepared can bring peace of mind and prevent injury. While earthquakes can be unsettling, knowing what to do—and where to get reliable information—can make all the difference. Here’s what Laguna Woods Village residents need to know.

What to Do During an Earthquake

The most important thing is to act quickly and protect yourself. Follow these three simple steps:

• Drop to your hands and knees. This position keeps you from falling and allows you to move safely if needed.
• Cover your head and neck with one arm and hand. If possible, crawl under a sturdy table or desk. If no shelter is nearby, stay low next to an interior wall, away from windows.
• Hold on to your shelter with one hand until the shaking stops. Be ready to move with it.

If You Use a Cane, Walker or Wheelchair

You can still stay safe during an earthquake by adjusting your approach:

• Cane users: Sit on a sturdy chair or bed and cover your head and neck with both hands. Keep your cane within reach.
• Wheelchair or walker users: Lock your wheels, bend over as safely as possible and cover your head and neck with your arms, a pillow or a book. Stay in place until the shaking ends.
• In bed or recliner: Stay put and use a pillow or your arms to protect your head and neck.

These simple actions reduce your risk of serious injury. Practicing them ahead of time can help you feel more confident.

Stay Informed With Trusted Alerts

Timely information saves lives. Consider using the following tools to receive alerts before and during emergencies:

• MyShake: This free app, developed by UC Berkeley and sponsored by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, provides early warnings before shaking begins.
• AlertOC: Sign up for Orange County’s emergency notification system at ocgov.com/about-county/emergency. AlertOC can be used to send alerts related to earthquakes, including aftershocks or other potential hazards, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department （OCSD）。
• 奥兰治县警长部门: After a large earthquake, OCSD would immediately activate its emergency response protocols, focusing on public safety and resource coordination. OCSD uses sirens and public address systems to alert residents to evacuation orders or other important information. 

CodeRED Emergency Alerts From VMS

Laguna Woods Village uses the CodeRED system to deliver emergency messages to residents via phone, text or email. Signing up is easy. If you haven’t already enrolled:

• 访问 lagunawoodsvillage.com
• Click “Sign up today” under the red and black CodeRED icon at the bottom right of any page
• Fill out the short form or log into the resident portal to register

请注意： CodeRED is used in the event of emergencies only. Residents should not expect notifications following an earthquake if there are no observable damages to structures and facilities.

Understanding Evacuation Procedures

The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) decides when evacuations are necessary during disasters or fires. OCSD carries out those orders, including making announcements and ensuring safety. If needed, the VMS Security Services team helps OCSD with access, announcements and managing gate traffic. OCFA has authority unless the issue involves a criminal matter, in which case OCSD takes the lead.

Evacuation sites will be selected depending on the type of disaster, how many people need shelter, and which areas are safe. These sites may include schools, churches or large parking areas—chosen in real time to ensure your safety.

Want to Help?

Residents who are interested in emergency planning or assisting others during disasters are encouraged to join the Village’s Disaster Preparedness Task Force. To learn more, email chief@vmsinc.org or click 这里.

最近，奥兰治县警局的一名副警长前往安全监察指挥官办公室，要求获取与一起欺诈调查相关的监控录像。据该副警长称，一名村民可能遭遇了弹出式电脑诈骗。该副警长指出，过去三周他已经接到四五起类似的举报，并认为该地区可能还有其他案件——无论是否已举报。

这类诈骗会在受害者的电脑上弹出一条信息，通常会伪装成“大通银行欺诈”警报或类似信息。如果受害者点击该信息，就会连接到骗子的账户，骗子会诱骗受害者提取现金或购买礼品卡。在某些情况下，骗子会要求受害者向银行工作人员撒谎，声称银行工作人员参与了诈骗。

就这位居民的案例而言，视频片段显示他与一名陌生男子短暂会面，并递给该男子一个灰白色的信封。

此事件仍在调查中。

以下是自我保护的方法：

• 切勿点击可疑的弹出窗口。立即关闭浏览器并重启电脑。
• 不要相信任何通过电话或网上索要现金或礼品卡的人。
• 请务必使用您知道的真实号码直接致电您的银行。
• 向安全部门报告任何可疑接触（949-580-1400) 和 OCSD (714-647-7000 或者 949-770-6011) 即可。

如果感觉可疑，很可能就是如此。保持警惕，互相帮助，确保安全。

The Landscaping Services Department has been busy—not just tending to thousands of acres of beautiful community green space, but also improving the way it serves residents.

In partnership with Resident Services, the Landscaping Services team has introduced a new 30-day ticket policy designed to simplify service requests, reduce duplicated efforts and keep residents better informed.

How It Works

If a resident requests landscaping service for an area that the team is already scheduled to visit within the next 30 days, a new ticket will no longer be opened. The work will be completed as the team arrives, as it is part of routine shrub bed maintenance.

Even more streamlined: If a request is already in the system and the team is scheduled to arrive within two weeks, that ticket will be closed proactively. Residents will receive a notification email letting them know that landscaping work is imminent—along with contact information for a landscaping coordinator, just in case there are questions or special considerations.

This new approach allows crews to better manage their workload while reducing wait times and confusion for residents.

Why It Matters

Before this update, multiple tickets could be created for the same area—even if a visit was already planned. Now, that extra step is eliminated. The result? Fewer delays, fewer duplicated efforts and a more focused team delivering service when and where it’s needed most.

This is just one of many behind-the-scenes improvements the Landscaping Services Department is making to better serve the community.

Tree maintenance for 2025 is well underway, supporting the health and longevity of the community’s 37,400 trees through a comprehensive, species-based six-year trimming cycle. All work is scheduled and tracked using Arbor Pro GPS software to ensure efficient, data-driven management.

To date, Bartlett Tree Experts has trimmed 1,134 trees, with an additional 6,800 scheduled over the next six to eight weeks. Laguna Woods Village continues to work closely with Bartlett to follow best practices outlined in the Urban Forest Management Plan and recommendations from certified arborists.

This year’s proactive, front-loaded approach exceeds previous trimming totals to help reduce storm-related damage, minimize individual service requests and reduce liability. To stay on schedule and minimize weekday disruptions, tree trimming will also take place on Saturdays beginning at 9 a.m. for the next few months.

This expanded schedule underscores our commitment to timely, professional tree care and community safety.
