Mandatory Evacuation Order Issued For Trabuco Canyon

TRABUCO CANYON, CA — The Orange County Sheriff's Department has upgraded evacuation orders to mandatory for Trabuco Canyon and surrounding areas where heavy rainfall has triggered a risk of mudslides and flooding.

The evacuation order affects communities in the path of the Holy Fire burn area, including Trabuco Creek, Rose Canyon and Mystic Oaks/El Cariso areas.

Residents of Rose Canyon were advised to shelter in place due to road closures in the area, OCSD said.

Road closures are in effect at Trabuco and Rose canyons and at Trabuco Canyon and Plano Trabuco, according to the sheriff's department.
