Safer at Home Webinar Series: Step 1– Secure Your Space
2020-06-17 11:00 - 12:00
We live in earthquake country and know that large earthquakes may happen at any time. Fortunately, there are simple steps we all can take to be “safer at home” before the earth shakes– even while being safer at home because of COVID-19.
This is why ECA will be hosting the Safer At Home Webinar Series this year, with a special webinar for each of the Seven Steps to Earthquake Safety. The information provided will also be useful in the workplace or in schools.
The first webinar will focus on Step 1 of the Seven Steps: “Secure Your Space” by identifying hazards and securing moveable items.
Earthquake shaking can move almost anything, even large or heavy items. Imagine your home or workplace being picked up and shaken sideways – what would be thrown around? What might hit you or others, what valuables might be damaged, and how might your exits be blocked?
This interactive webinar will show you how easy it is to secure contents in your home (or elsewhere) to reduce these dangers to life and property. Live demonstrations and videos from industry experts will show you how to install or apply straps, latches, and earthquake putty while answering your questions.

Webinar Details:
Date: Wednesday, June 17
Time: 11am – 12 pm PDT
Presenters: Glen Granholm (Safe-T-Proof)
Trevyn Reese (ReadyAmerica)
Mark Benthien (ECA Executive Director / SCEC)
Register now for this timely and informative webinar that may keep you and your family safer in the next earthquake. Then share this announcement with others – we’re all in this together!

City Services Regional Town Hall and Budget Advocates Elections
2020-06-28 16:00 - 17:00
Now more than ever, getting involved in local government is absolutely critical and the good news is that it’s never been easier. Politics rewards those who show up and now with a click of a button from your device, you can be there too.
On Saturday and Sunday, June 27 & 28, the Budget Advocates will be hosting VIRTUAL TOWN HALLS in every region of our City. Palms falls into the 6/28 4 PM time slot. Join your neighbors to discuss the changes you want to see in your area, which causes matter most, and which City Services need to be prioritized and preserved.
Don’t miss out on an opportunity to put your feelings into action!
During the Town Halls, we will also be electing your new Budget Advocates (3 per NC Region) to a 2 year term so reach out to your Neighborhood Council leadership to ensure they’ve appointed Budget Representatives (2 per NC), because Budget Reps hold the sole authority to vote for Budget Advocates.
If you have any questions please direct them to LAbudgetadvocates@gmail.com.
