A hazardous materials incident in Garden Grove has resulted in mandatory evacuation orders due to the potential release of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) —a highly flammable and potentially toxic chemical commonly used in plastics, coatings, and manufacturing.

Mental and physical health go hand in hand 💚

This week is a reminder that caring for both supports long term wellness. Mental health challenges like depression and anxiety can impact physical health too, which makes early support so important.

Simple habits like regular movement, balanced meals, quality sleep, and creating healthy boundaries can make a big difference. Even a quick 10-minute walk can help boost mood, energy, and overall well-being.

Try a new wellness practice this week and explore free tools, ideas, and support at OCNavigator.org for 24/7 resources.

Kids and teens thrive when they feel seen, heard, and supported 💚 This week, we’re highlighting the importance of youth mental wellness and the power of early support. Building healthy coping skills early helps kids manage stress, grow resilience, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.

Staying active, limiting screen overload, and creating space for connection and conversation can make a real difference.

We understand it can take a village. You can visit OCNavigator.org for 24/7 resources and support.

“In the short term, methyl methacrylate causes respiratory irritation, but little is known about the long-term effects of the substance on humans”, Dr. Regina Chinsio-Kwong said at a press conference Friday.

“What we know in terms of human health is that we have very limited case reports of exposure and when you have limited short-term exposure, meaning maybe you inhaled some of the vapor, it can cause significant irritation in the lungs, the nasal passages and it can also cause nausea, it can also cause dizziness,” she said. “At very high levels, it can really cause severe respiratory distress and hospitalization and this is where we really need everybody to heed all of the evacuation orders.”

We’re honored to partner with our community and the @JasperRayFoundation to help promote drowning prevention education and share the ABCs of Water Safety throughout Orange County. 🌊💙

A – Active adult supervision. Designate a water watcher to keep their eyes on the water children at all times.
B – Barriers. Install fencing with self-closing and self-latching gates around pools and spas.
C – Classes & CPR. Sign children up for swimming lessons after their first birthday and have all caregivers learn CPR!

Thank you to the @ocgov Board of Supervisors for recognizing this important effort and the impact that education, awareness, and prevention can have in helping keep children and families safe around water.

Together, we can help make water safety education more accessible for every family.
