作為未來規劃工作的一部分，拉古納伍茲市正準備更新其生物資源清單（總體規劃保護要素是關於城市如何隨著時間的推移發展、開發和管理其資源的長期藍圖或總體規劃）。

為了支持這項工作，該市聘請了顧問 LSA，他們將在整個社區（包括村莊內的一些區域）進行調查。

調查隊將於 5 月 5 日那一週出動。除了實地調查外，LSA 還將使用無人機拍攝更新的空拍照片，用於城市規劃和報告。

在此期間，您可能會注意到某些區域周圍有測量員和小型無人機。請注意，這項工作是例行工作，重點是記錄環境狀況，預計不會影響日常活動。

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）。
• 橘郡警長部門: 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:

• 訪問 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

請注意： 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 這裡.

最近，橘郡警長部門的一名副手來到安全監視指揮官辦公室，要求提供與詐欺調查有關的監視錄影。據該警員稱，一名村民可能已成為彈出式電腦詐騙的目標。這位副警長指出，過去三週他已經接到四到五起類似的報告，並認為該地區可能還有其他案件——已報告的和未報告的。

在這些騙局中，受害者的電腦上會出現一個彈出訊息，通常冒充「大通詐欺」警報或類似訊息。如果受害者點擊該訊息，他們就會與騙子取得聯繫，騙子會誘使他們提取現金或購買禮品卡。在某些情況下，詐騙者會告訴受害者向銀行工作人員撒謊，聲稱銀行工作人員是詐騙的一部分。

就這位居民的案例而言，影片片段顯示他與一名陌生男子短暫會面，並遞給該男子一個灰白色的信封。

此事件仍在調查中。

以下是自我保護的方法：

• 切勿點選可疑的彈出視窗。立即關閉瀏覽器並重新啟動電腦。
• 不要相信任何透過電話或網路索取現金或禮品卡的人。
• 請務必使用您所知道的真實號碼直接致電您的銀行。
• 向安全部門報告任何可疑接觸（949-580-1400) 和 OCSD (714-647-7000 或者 949-770-6011) 即可。

如果感覺可疑，那很可能就是可疑的。保持警惕，互相幫助，確保彼此安全。

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.

工作原理

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.
