We’d like to remind you that use of any landscape vendor other than Total Landscape Creations MUST Be approved by the Landscape Committee. We have been experiencing damage to our irrigation system by these ‘unapproved’ vendors. This is a Compliance violation. Landscape modification forms are available in the office and must be approved before making any changes to our Common Areas.
Due to a malfunction in technology, you may have noticed that our taping of the 8/28 General Meeting did not include the entire session. We apologize for this inconvenience. If you are interested in getting the board minutes, please email Von. When they are completed he will email them to you . We apologize for the inconvenience.
We’d like to give a big shout out to the HUB volunteers and producer of Hilltop Highlights for putting together on a regular basis, such an outstanding newsletter! It is informational and entertaining. Thank you, we appreciate all that you do!!

New Technology to Streamline Emergency Evacuations
New technology launched in May will help streamline any emergency evacuations in Oceanside and throughout the region. Evacuation zones delineated with Genasys EVAC technology will help regional emergency managers send out precise location-based alerts during an emergency evacuation. Oceanside will use this technology as part of a concerted effort to innovate to keep residents safe and informed during emergencies.
Specific map zones were developed for Oceanside by a coalition of local emergency managers, law enforcement, and fire officials. The team used geographical boundaries like canyons, rivers, freeways, and neighborhoods to create more logical and precise mapping zones. This mapping system will provide more specific evacuation areas, which will limit larger unnecessary evacuations. This will also support more efficient repopulations to get people back into their homes sooner.
Genasys EVAC will be integrated into AlertSanDiego.org and the SD Emergency app. Residents who are already registered do not need to re-subscribe. Please ensure you are registered for emergency alerts through AlertSanDiego.org and the SD Emergency app. You’ll get information about evacuations, emergency shelters and more. For local information on things like Oceanside road closures and missing people, sign up for “Ready Oceanside” by texting the word Oceanside to 67283 or sign up online.
You are also encouraged to download the Genasys Protect App to subscribe to alerts in other areas where family members live or work. Having the app also makes it easy to monitor the status of specific zones during an emergency.
