Community Members:
In addition to signing up for Newport Notified to receive timely emergency alerts, I encourage you to download the City's MyNB smartphone app for many day-to-day transactions, information and service requests.
MyNB is designed to give residents, businesses and visitors easy access to City Hall from anywhere, at any time.
You can use the free app to pay bills, request services, report issues such as street light or sign repairs, connect with your City Council representatives, and much more. The app can guide Civic Center visitors through a walking tour of the sculpture gardens, and help Newport Harbor boaters find public piers, restrooms and other amenities through an interactive map.
Watch this new video to see the many features available in the MyNB app. It is available for Apple and Android devices.
City Manager, Grace K. Leung

The Newport Beach Animal Shelter is always ready to lend a helping hand in emergency situations.
This week the shelter assisted a rescue facility struggling with overcrowding due to the Los Angeles County wildfires, allowing it to help additional animals displaced from the fires.
This effort underscores the commitment to animal welfare and the importance of working collaboratively to provide a second chance for these deserving pets.
The newest shelter arrivals are: Hannah (lab mix), Wayne (grey poodle), Zuri (Chihuahua), Ruby (Chihuahua), and kittens Connie, Carlos, and Carmen. They will be ready for adoption soon.
