Both Riviera West Drive and Soda Bay Road can quickly become blocked during a wildfire. Avoid the stress and danger! At the first sign of a threatening fire, leave immediately. You don’t have to wait for an evacuation roworder. Early evacuation leaves roadways clear for fire crews and law enforcement. You will face less traffic and have a better chance of finding lodging if necessary. And you can always come back if the situation improves.

Take CalFire's Advice:

“Leave as soon as evacuation is recommended by fire officials to avoid being caught in fire, smoke or road congestion. Don’t wait to be ordered by authorities to leave. Evacuating the fire area early also helps firefighters keep roads clear of congestion, and lets them move more freely to do their job. In an intense wildfire, they will not have time to knock on every door. If you are advised to leave, don’t hesitate! You must take the initiative to stay informed and secure! Listen to all forms of media for further announcements from authorities.”

- Keep your garage closed and your vehicles locked, and do not leave possessions visible in vehicles. Use a locking gas cap.

- Windows and doors should be locked; don’t leave a window partially open for an outside extension cord.

- Do not leave mail in the mailbox for pick-up any more than necessary, and collect your mail as soon as possible after it’s delivered. Mailbox thefts have happened in the Rivieras and Buckingham area.

- Keep your travel plans and expensive gift purchases off social media.

- When shopping online, use strong passwords and change them often.

- In parking lots, be aware of your surroundings especially at night. CLICK HERE for some excellent safety advice from Consumer Reports.

Do you want to make a change to your property? A new deck design or perhaps a new exterior paint job?

Before you start buying materials, hiring a contractor and picking out colors, please take the time to check with the Architectural Control and Planning Committee (ACP) at the Riviera West office. Inadvertently violating an ACP guideline could result in a warning letter, monetary fine or other consequences. Even if work you do complies with Riviera West guidelines, failing to get approval in advance is itself a violation.

The best advice is to check with the ACP every time, before you start a project. The ACP committee members are neighbors and volunteers, and they are eager to help you. Thank you to all property owners for working with the ACP to help keep Riviera West a safe and attractive community!

Throughout the year and especially during fire season, it is vital to have accurate and timely information. Whether it is an advisory, a recommended or mandatory evacuation, the Sheriff's Office will refer to your ZONE. Each area of the county has a zone code. Our Riviera West zone is KEL E 122.

Sign up for LakeCoAlerts so the Sheriff's Office can reach you with updates and evacuation information. If you ever hear the evacuation siren when it is not a routine test day (first Monday of the month at 11:00 am), check with LakeCoAlerts for timely, authorized information.

If the Sheriff's Office issues an advisory evacuation for Riviera West, it's a good idea to leave even if it is not mandatory. It is easier to evacuate early when there is less traffic, and emergency vehicles can get through to protect our homes if we have already left. We recommend evacuating whenever you feel unsafe or worried about a nearby fire, whether or not an evacuation message is issued.

Keep your cell phone charged and your gas tank full. Be sure you can get your car out of the garage if the power is out. Have your valuables packed and have animal carriers ready to go.

Consult the Sheriff's Office website regularly if a fire is nearby, and pay close attention to Nixle email alerts.

With California's drought history, Harbor View Mutual Water customers should always voluntarily practice water conservation. Here are some things you can do:

- Adjust sprinkler heads and fix any leaks.

- Install drip irrigation system with a smart controller.

- Water plants early in the morning or late in the evening

- Use inorganic mulch such as decomposed granite, gravel, or rock around plants.

- Wash your car with a hose equipped with a shut-off. nozzle. Don’t let water run down your driveway. Or if available, take it through the car wash when you fill up your gas tank.

- Sweep your driveway, don’t hose it.

- Consider installing low-flow devices on your in-home faucets and showers and installing low flow/flush toilets.

Protect yourself from the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in your home.

Every year, at least 430 people die in the U.S. from accidental CO poisoning. Approximately 50,000 people in the U.S. visit the emergency department each year due to accidental CO poisoning. There are steps you can take to help protect yourself and your household from CO poisoning.

Change the batteries in your CO detector every six months. If you don’t have a battery-powered or battery back-up CO detector, buy one soon.
