Safety Committee SAFETY 4 "ALL" SEASONS Driving and pedestrian safety remains one of our major areas of concern. Remember, while driving in our neighborhood the speed limit on Four Seasons Circle is 30 mph, while the speed limit on our residential side streets is 25 mph and 15 mph in our alleys and parking lots. Regarding roundabout safety, always yield to vehicles already in the roundabout and only travel in a counterclockwise direction (i.e., keeping to the right as you enter the roundabout) … and stop at all STOP signs. While walking, be mindful of vehicle traffic on the streets and stay on the sidewalks whenever possible. If you need to walk in the street, always walk facing opposing traffic, and if in a group, walk single file. e following information on preparing for power emergencies and safety tips to follow during a power outage was developed by Southern California Edison. PREPARING FOR POWER EMERGENCIES Make sure to have an emergency plan in place for extended power outages for every member of your household, including your pets. • Always follow the direction of local law enforcement and firefighters for evacuation and road safety. • Keep basic necessities readily available, from medical prescriptions to canned goods. Keep a supply of essentials in an easy-to-access location, so you can get to them quickly, even in the dark. • If you depend on electrically-powered medical equipment, have a backup power source. NOTE: Visit sce.com/beprepared for additional information. SAFETY TIPS DURING A POWER OUTAGE Southern California Edison has provided the following safety tips to follow should we experience a power outage: • Stay away from downed power lines or damaged electrical equipment. Immediately call 911 for assistance. • Power outages may impact traffic signals, so use extreme caution and treat all intersections with non-working traffic signals as four-way stops. • Remember to check your emergency supplies to be sure you have a battery- operated radio, flashlight, and fresh batteries. Use flashlights instead of candles to avoid fire hazards in your home. • Disconnect all sensitive electronics to prevent damage or loss of data. If you have electric gates or garage doors, learn how to operate them manually. • Batteries and generators help to keep lights on, to power medical equipment, and to keep phones charged when you need them most. Batteries can be used indoors, but gasoline and gas-powered generators should only be used outdoors. You may connect appliances to the generator, but do not connect the generator into household circuits, as that can be dangerous for repair crews. NOTE: To get up to date information during power outages, including emergency as well as maintenance and rotating outages, bookmark sce.com/outagemap your computer and download the MySCE app on your phone.
