While 554 homes in Mission Viejo’s Zone 1 are under an evacuation warning, the City’s Temporary Evacuation Point (TEP) the Norman P.

If you need to find shelter after hours, please contact 949-470-3062 for assistance or go to the 24-hour TEP at El Toro High School. Keeping COVID-19 precautions in mind and the need for social distancing, residents who have evacuated are encouraged to look for alternative accommodations; however, the Murray Center can be used as a meeting place while making those arrangements. Masks must be worn and social distancing is required. The Temporary Evacuation Point at 24932 Veterans Way is a place where residents can get information and resources to assist in any relocation needs. In the event of a mandatory evacuation during this fire or any emergency, residents should check their insurance policies, since many policies will cover costs associated with mandatory evacuations.
