The City of Agoura Hills' Emergency Services serves to keep citizens informed and prepared for any emergency, coordinates resources during an emergency, and provides relief after an emergency. The goal of Emergency Operations Center personnel is to save lives and protect property by developing programs and emergency operational capabilities in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. Planning for and responding to disasters and emergencies requires many different actions, such as evacuations, shelter set-ups for earthquakes, or preparations for power outages. All these activities are coordinated and directed by the Emergency Operations Center.

The Emergency Operations Center can help you prepare by providing free brochures and information on emergency and disaster preparedness situations ranging from earthquakes, to storms, to wildfires. Information is available regarding fire drills, evacuation procedures, shelter living, and property mitigation.

The City has published a Community Emergency Preparedness Handbook.  You are encouraged to read this handbook and utilize the planning tools for you and your loved ones so that you are prepared following an emergency.  Extra copies as available can be obtained by contacting the Agoura Hills CERT Disaster Response Team hotline at (818) 597-7302 or jtreichler@agourahillscity.org.  You may also download a free copy by clicking here Emergency Preparedness Handbook (The handbook is currently not available as it is under revision).
