πŸ”§ Emergency Preparedness Tip #3: Do you know how to shut off your utilities?

πŸ’¨ ONLY turn off your gas meter if you smell gas, hear hissing or see the meter spinning rapidly. A professional is the only one who can turn it back on safely!
πŸ› οΈ Tie an adjustable wrench to your gas meter so it’s always ready
πŸ’§ Locate your main shut-off valve to prevent flooding from broken pipes
⚑ Know where your main breaker box is located to cut power if wiring is damaged

Take five minutes today to locate these around your home. Stay safe, Paramount! πŸ πŸ› οΈ

🌍 Happy Earth Day, Paramount! Protecting our environment also means protecting our community.

Keep our city clean and safe with these environmental safety tips:
πŸ”‹ Recycle batteries safely: Never throw lithium-ion batteries in the regular trash. They can spark and cause dangerous fires in garbage trucks and waste facilities.
⚠️ Handle chemicals with care: Store pool chemicals and cleaners securely. Dispose of hazardous waste at designated facilities to prevent toxic spills and water contamination.
🧹 Clear dry brush: Keeping your yard free of dead vegetation doesn't just look nice; it also removes potential fuel for fires.

Let's work together to keep our city safe and green! πŸŒΏπŸš“

For more than 35 years, this program has proven that when our City comes together, beautiful things happen. We could not do it without you!

Check out some of our favorite moments from the cleanup below. See you at the next one! 🏑🀝

The Youth Activities League (YAL) is making 2026 a year to remember! 🌟

Led by Deputy Mayra Aguilar, YAL offers youth with more than just a place to go after school. Through mentorship, academic enrichment and safe recreational activities, the program provides local kids with a pathway to success.

Recently, 41 of our YAL participants enjoyed a special weekend excursion to Castle Park in Riverside! From riding their favorite attractions with minimal wait times to enjoying a group lunch and arcade games, the day was full of fun. The trip wrapped up back at Spane Park with a pizza party. πŸŽ’πŸ•
