Emergency Preparedness

Community Disaster Guide

Produced in partnership with local and regional stakeholders, Ojai's Community Disaster Guide provides locally tailored, at-a-glance information for residents, visitors, and businesses. It helps ensure that we are all connected with reliable and trusted information sources and working together to keep ourselves and our community safe.

#Stay Safe Ojai

Preparedness is everyone's responsibility. The City of Ojai wants to ensure those who live, work, or play in Ojai are ready for threats and hazards that may affect our community. #staysafeojai is the City's ongoing campaign designed to keep emergency preparedness and safety front and center. Watch our Facebook page for the #staysafeojai hashtag.
