Register with Alert OC

Alert OC is a mass notification system designed to notify Orange County residents and businesses of pertinent information related to emergency incidents. By registering with Alert OC, time-sensitive voice messages from the County or the City of Cypress may be sent to your home, cell phone or business phone. Text messages may also be sent to cell phones, e-mail accounts and hearing impaired receiving devices. Mass notification systems have been attributed with saving lives during the 2007 Southern California wildfires by quickly notifying residents at all hours with evacuation instructions. This system is just one more tool to be used by public safety agencies to get the word out to the community when time matters. This system is voluntary and you may opt out at any time.

City Council recently allocated funding for the construction of the storm drain detention box in Myra Avenue. This project will provide the Myra Avenue and the adjoining streets with added protection against flooding. The new storm drain box will be installed under the street surface. The City of Cypress views the Myra Avenue Storm Drain Project as an important Public Works project, beneficial not only to the areas affected but to the community. Your cooperation during all phases of construction will be necessary for the safe and successful completion of the project. Work is scheduled to begin in April 2013, beginning with sewer repairs and modifications along Myra Avenue between Denni Street and Moody Street. Trenching and construction will commence shortly thereafter. The project completion is tentatively expected by November 2013. MORE >
