START HERE: TAKE THESE STEPS TO PLAN FOR EVACUATION...
Emergency preparedness is a team sport, and the community are starting players. This September, we build our
community resilience during National Preparedness Month. Taking the time to prepare with our neighbors may help
us to save lives, and recover quickly when disaster strikes. Being ready is a shared responsibility. Plan ahead to take
care of yourself and your community.
Be Ready, Set, Go!
In an emergency such as a wildfire, residents and visitors may need to evacuate. Be ready ahead of time. If you
feel in danger, leave immediately. Do not wait to be told to evacuate! The City of Cupertino, together with our
public safety partners from Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and Santa Clara County Fire Department, works
year-round to coordinate our efforts, but we need your help. For more information about what you can do, visit the

For more information, call the Cupertino Library at (408) 446-1677.
Cupertino’s water supply is in a state of emergency
with worsening drought conditions. California’s Water
Authority, Valley Water, and your water providers are
creating new protocols for residents and businesses.
Although watering times and specific rules vary
depending on where you live, here are some best
practices for everyone to comply with local, regional,
and state regulations:
1. Limit watering of lawns, landscape, and turf areas
to no more than two days per week and no more
than 15 minutes of watering per day per station or
irrigation zone.
a. Per California State law, Homeowner Association
(HOA) and commercial properties must stop
watering decorative turf and grass immediately.
b. Do not water outside plants or landscaping
within 48 hours after significant rainfall.
2. Continue watering trees with just enough water,
avoid overwatering.
3. Adjust outdoor watering systems to avoid runoff
onto non-landscaped areas including walkways,
roads, parking lots, or structures.
4. Do not use water to clean driveways or sidewalks,
instead use a broom.
5. Wash your car at a commercial facility that
recirculates the water.
6. Do not use water in a water feature, except where
the water is part of a recirculating system or needed
to sustain aquatic life in lakes or ponds.
7. Check for hidden leaks by reading your water meter
when all devices are off.
8. Fix leaks or broken plumbing features as soon as
possible or within 72 hours after noticing issue.
You can report wasted water to the City of Cupertino’s
Code Enforcement or your water retailer. Water rates
have changed to make water waste even more
expensive for homeowners. Commercial properties may
be subject to fines for watering non-fuctional turf grass.
Converting your landscape to be drought tolerant is the
best way to save water, and Cupertino has now made
it easier than ever. In 2021, Cupertino’s City Council
passed a resolution to waive some planning fees for
large sites that want to remove their turf grass. To learn
more, contact sustainability@cupertino.org.
To learn more about drought conditions, resources for
water savings, and how to report water waste, visit
cupertino.org/drought.
