Weekly Tip - Drop! Cover! Hold On!

Are you prepared for the next big earthquake?  Tomorrow, Thursday, October 20, 2016, at 10:20 am, millions of people will join in the annual Great California ShakeOut, bringing awareness to a very real threat to California.  Preparedness and knowledge are the keys to surviving during and after a significant earthquake.

Remember, if an earthquake strikes us today - Drop!  Cover!  And, Hold On!

•DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),

•Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and

•HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops.

Follow #LAQuake on Twitter for earthquakes occurring in the greater LA area. As focus shifts to a local area or quake name, more specific hashtags may become relevant.

Weekly Tip - Attend Pasadena Humane's Coexisting with Wildlife Seminar

Bears, coyotes, deer, mountain lions, bobcats, all roam the foothills above our town and will sometimes venture into residential neighborhoods. Most of the time, the wildlife comes and goes without notice. In recent years, it seems that calls of bear and lion sightings have been on the rise. 

The Pasadena Humane Society will be hosting a free seminar on humanely coexisting with wildlife at their facility on October 16, 2016, from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm. The seminar is open to anyone who would like to attend. Topics include identifying common native wildlife, discouraging wild critters from visiting your property and what to do if you encounter a threatening wild animal like a coyote or bear. There will also be a Q&A session after the presentation.
