Residents are asked to keep any pets or children indoors and encouraged to keep their food garbage secured so as to avoid attracting the predator.
If they spot a mountain lion, citizens are asked to pick up small children without bending over and walk away slowly without turning around.
Officials say anyone who sees a mountain lion is urged to immediately contact the Vacaville Police Department at (707) 499-5200 and/or the Wildlife Management hotline at (916) 358-2917.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant and avoid approaching the animal if spotted, maintaining an escape route for the animal.
