The City of La Mirada takes pride in its emergency preparedness efforts and strives to educate our community in the importance of being prepared for all emergencies. The City's emergency preparedness program promotes disaster planning and coordination in advance of natural or man-made disasters.

Preparing for an emergency is the responsibility of every resident and business. Families and organizations should discuss their emergency plans and ensure that they have the proper personal and work-related supplies available in the event of any emergency. Effectively preparing for emergencies will help safeguard your family, home, or business. Together, we can work to ensure that our communities are well prepared to respond to any emergency our area may experience.

Although disasters and other smaller emergencies can never be precisely foreseen, the City of La Mirada has an extensive history in emergency preparedness and works diligently alongside agencies, organizations, schools, our neighborhoods to ensure that our communities are well equipped to sustain minimal impact by any event.
