Orange County Insight February 2026

Administrator’s Minute

Dear Orange County Community,

As we move through the winter season, I’ve been especially reminded of what makes Orange County such a special place — the way our community comes together to support one another. The recent winter storm tested all of us, but it also showcased the dedication of our public safety teams, County staff, utility partners, and neighbors who worked tirelessly to keep our community safe and connected. I am deeply grateful for their service and for the patience and resilience shown by our residents.

Even as we look ahead to warmer days, this experience is a good reminder that preparation matters. Taking simple steps now can make a real difference when unexpected situations arise.

This issue of the Insight also highlights many positive developments — from welcoming new leadership in Emergency Communications to innovative programs supporting first responder wellness and new opportunities that help local businesses grow.

Thank you for the many ways you contribute to making Orange County a caring, strong, and vibrant community.

Warm regards,

Glenda Paul Orange County Administrator

We’re here for you... Orange County Administration
