Personal Safety in Park Areas	

Tips for Your Security 

Avoid unpopulated areas and overgrown trails. Especially avoid poorly lighted areas at night. 
Consider carrying a cellular phone. Pre-program the number for the local law enforcement agency; Dublin Police Services Dispatch Center can be reached at 925-462-1212, any time, day or night. Calling 911 on a cellular phone routes you to the California Highway Patrol dispatch center in Vallejo. They will then ascertain where you are and re-route the call to the local law enforcement agency. 
Don't wear headsets. If you wear them you won't hear an approaching car or attacker. Listen to your surroundings. 
Don't wear jewelry or carry cash. 
If you think you are being followed, change direction and head for other people. Don't be embarrassed to cause a scene and draw attention to yourself. 
Ignore verbal harassment. Use discretion in acknowledging strangers. Look directly at others and be observant, but keep your distance and keep moving. 
Know the layout of the park and the surrounding neighborhood. Identify safe locations you can turn to for help. 
Plan your outing. Always tell someone where you are going and when you will return. Tell friends and family of your favorite routes. 
Run against traffic so you can observe approaching automobiles. 
Run clear of parked cars or buses. Stay in the middle of the path. 
Run or walk with a partner and/or dog. 
Send the message that you are calm, confident, and know where you are going. 
Stay alert at all times. The more aware you are, the less vulnerable you are. 
Wear an identification tag or carry a driver's license.
Consumer Guide to Funeral and Cemetery Purchases - Cemetery and Funeral Bureau
Most cancellation clauses require a revocation fee, limited by law to no more than 10 percent of the total amount that you have paid in. This revocation fee can only be taken from trust fund earnings.)
Before you choose a preneed trust contract, consider the following:

Ask for a guaranteed price plan. This protects you and your family from future price increases. Without it, your survivors may have to make up any difference in cost. However, even with a guaranteed price plan, some items or services will probably have to be paid at the time of need. Obtain a written estimate of these additional "at-need" charges so you and your family will know what to expect at the time of need.
Make sure the funds in your preneed trust increase in value, and find out where the money is being invested and who the trustees are. You may receive an annual statement of earnings, which may have to be reported as interest income on your tax returns. Also, be sure that the plan includes a written provision that states what will happen to any earnings left over after the funeral expenses are paid.
Find out if you have to pay the entire amount into the trust up front, or if you can pay over time. If you pay over time, ask if interest is being charged and how much. Also, ask if there is a penalty for late payments.
Ask if your funeral arrangements can be transferred to another funeral establishment or if the cemetery will buy the property back if you move out of the area or change your mind.
To guarantee prices of cemetery goods, such as a vault or a marker, buy them and have the cemetery store them until they are needed. This is called "constructive delivery." The law prohibits the constructive delivery of funeral goods. Make sure the purchase contract specifies the manufacturer and model of the items you purchase, as well as any inscriptions and descriptions of the materials used. Obtain in writing the address where the goods are stored.

Saving  Earmark a portion of your savings for funeral expenses and ensure that your family members and attorney are informed and that provisions are made for your survivors to withdraw the funds at your death. You can change your mind at any time.

Exposure to Smoke from Fires
This is especially important for at-risk groups (“sensitive groups”), like children and teenagers, older adults, people with heart or respiratory problems, pregnant people, and those who exercise or work outdoors.
If it gets hot inside, cool off with air conditioning if you can. Find a place to get cool. 
People who must spend time outdoors should consider wearing a mask (use the best well-fitting face mask you have on hand. A N95 or KN95 will work best), take frequent breaks, and adjust work or exercise schedules for when air conditions improve.
People with any symptom should contact their health care provider.
Get the latest air quality conditions by visiting DEC's air quality forecast website or airnow.gov.

Filtering Air at Home

If you have one, consider using an air cleaner. This can greatly reduce indoor air particle levels.
Window or portable air conditioners are good to use if they recirculate air (check your user’s manual).
You can run stand-alone fans to recirculate air in the home, but avoid using whole house fans because they draw in air from outside.
If you have a central air conditioning and heating system, set the system to “on” so air is constantly filtered, rather than “auto,” which intermittently runs the system.
Consider installing a high-efficiency filter (MERV 13 rating or higher) if your system can handle it based on the manufacturer’s recommendation.
When outdoor air quality is good, you can open windows and doors and use fans to bring in fresh air.

Workers

Long work schedules and the physical demands of work performed outdoors can affect a worker’s health when air quality is unhealthy. Take frequent breaks and talk to your employer about adjusting your work until air quality improves. Follow advice from NIOSH.

Schools and Child Care Providers

Continue to monitor air quality at DEC's air quality forecast website or airnow.gov.
Consider implementing an Air Quality Flag Program where your organization raises a flag for the day when the air is unhealthy. On these days you can use this information to adjust outdoor activities.
Conseils de sécurité pour l'hiver
Vous pouvez également emporter un jeu de chaînes à pneus dans votre véhicule en cas de neige abondante.
Gardez un grattoir pour pare-brise et un petit balai pour enlever la glace et la neige et faites au moins un demi-réservoir d'essence pendant toute la saison hivernale.
Enfin, planifiez soigneusement les longs trajets. Écoutez les médias locaux ou appelez les forces de l'ordre pour connaître les dernières conditions routières.

 Conseils de sécurité pour la maison
 
Déplacement de la neige
Lorsque vous enlevez la neige et la glace des entrées et des trottoirs, restez à l'écart des compteurs électriques et de gaz naturel pour éviter de les endommager, de perturber le service par inadvertance ou de vous mettre en danger. La neige et la glace peuvent endommager les compteurs électriques et de gaz naturel, les tuyaux de gaz naturel et les régulateurs de gaz naturel. N'enterrez donc jamais ces équipements lorsque vous pelletez, utilisez une souffleuse ou déneigez.
Lorsque vous enlevez la neige ou la glace d'un toit, ne la laissez jamais tomber sur les compteurs d'électricité ou de gaz naturel ou sur les équipements connexes.
Débarrassez les évents des séchoirs de la neige. Si elles sont bloquées, elles peuvent provoquer des incendies.

Interim Guidelines for Biosafety and COVID-19 | CDC
Laboratory workers may not be aware that such particles are being generated during many laboratory procedures. These particles could be inhaled or could cross-contaminate work surfaces, materials, and equipment.
Infectious aerosols are small liquid or solid particles suspended in the air that contain infectious agents. They can disperse throughout the laboratory and remain infective over time and distance. These particles are of a size that may be inhaled into the lower respiratory tract (<5 μm in diameter). Examples of organisms transmitted by aerosols include spores of Aspergillus spp., Mycobacterium tuberculosis, rubeola virus (measles), and varicella-zoster virus (chickenpox).
Infectious droplets are traditionally defined as larger particles (>5 μm in diameter) that rapidly fall out of the air, contaminating gloves, the immediate work area, and the mucous membranes of the persons performing the procedure.
Examples of infectious agents transmitted via the droplet route include Bordetella pertussis, influenza viruses, adenovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Group A Streptococcus, and Neisseria meningitidis.
Top of PagePneumatic Tube
CDC recommends that each laboratory perform a risk assessment before using the pneumatic tube system to transport suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 specimens. Each facility should conduct a site- and activity-specific risk assessment of the procedures performed, identifying the hazards involved in the process, the competency level of the personnel performing the methods, and the laboratory facility. An institution’s biosafety professional, laboratory management, scientific/clinical, and safety staff should be involved in conducting the risk assessment process to determine the appropriate specimen transport practices to implement at the facility.
Facilities should ensure that all personnel transporting specimens via pneumatic tubes are trained in safe handling practices, specimen management, and spill decontamination procedures.

Protect Your Property
Everyone faces the risk of natural disaster and no plan to protect property can be complete without insurance coverage against potential damage and loss.  It is important to know exactly what coverage you may need and what coverage is available to protect your property against all of the natural hazards it may be exposed to so that you are not underinsured or not insured at all. Check with your insurance company or local insurance agent.
FEMA strongly encourages property owners and renters to fully explore their insurance needs and obtain adequate coverage before a disaster strikes.

Frequently Asked Questions | Department of Health
For example, the first vaccines authorized for emergency use by the FDA use a small, harmless part of the virus’s genetic material called ‘mRNA’. This is not the virus. mRNA vaccines teach your body to create virus proteins. Your immune system develops antibodies against these proteins that will help you fight the virus that causes COVID-19 if you are exposed to it. That is called an immune response. Are COVID vaccines safe for children?  Yes. Currently, the FDA has determined that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID vaccines meet the standards for effectiveness and safety needed for emergency use authorization for use by children ages 6 months and older.  Are COVID-19 vaccines safe for pregnant people or people thinking of becoming pregnant?Yes. COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective for people who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. If you are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant, you should talk to your health care provider about your risk of getting COVID-19 and your risk of severe illness if you do get sick. A vaccine may protect you from severe illness, which could help both you and your unborn baby.Both the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) strongly recommend that pregnant people receive the COVID-19 vaccine if they do not have a medical reason not to be vaccinated.Pregnant people with COVID-19 have an increased risk of severe illness and of serious pregnancy complications. If you get a vaccine do you need a negative COVID test beforehand? No. The CDC does not recommend COVID-19 screening tests before getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Is it safe to get a COVID-19 vaccine if I have an underlying medical condition?Yes. COVID-19 vaccination is especially important for people with underlying health problems like heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and obesity. People with these conditions are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19. Please consult with your health care provider if you have specific questions about the COVID vaccine and your health. If I already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated? Yes.
