Building a Safer Community: Irvine Multi-Agency Public Safety & Emergency Seminar

In our daily lives, true safety isn't about scrambling after an incident occurs—it’s about knowing what to do before anything happens.

Many of us share the same practical questions:
• "What should I do if I notice suspicious activity in my neighborhood?"
• "How can we effectively protect our homes from burglaries and package theft?"
• "Living in Southern California with earthquakes and wildfire season, what essentials should actually be in our family emergency kit?"
• "How can we safeguard our seniors and loved ones against increasingly sophisticated telephone and digital scams?"

Navigating between separate police, fire, and legal departments for answers can often be daunting. That is why Irvine District 1 Councilmember Melinda Liu is partnering directly with frontline public safety agencies—including the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA), Irvine Police Department (IPD), and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office (OCDA)—to host an open, highly practical community public safety forum.

💡 What You Will Learn
