SDYS Transitional Youth Program Needs Assistance
|
|
San Diego Youth Services' Transitional Youth Program needs immediate assistance in re-arranging their storage garage and delivering some furniture to apartments.
This can be scheduled at the convenience of the volunteer and his company! It would take at least two people and a truck/van to make delivers of furniture and can be done any day of the week. This would be a great team building project for larger companies! This is even a great project to get your teenagers involved in helping! If you can help please contact - Vicky Cate
or 619-520-7189.

Get Back to Business Faster with Disaster Planning
Preparation is key to getting your business back on track after a disaster. Whether the disruption is due to natural causes, such as a wildfire or earthquake, or other hazards, an emergency response plan can help your business recover faster and limit losses.
Start with an overview of the basics in this four-minute video, "Emergency Preparedness for Businesses,"
. For example, you should develop a written plan, train staff, practice emergency procedures, stock emergency supplies, maintain defensible space, back up and store information securely off site, and periodically test equipment such as electric generators and smoke detectors.
Visit
ready.gov/business
for tools you can use to develop or improve a disaster preparedness program for your business. The business continuity planning software includes an automated disaster recovery plan tool.
EV Charging Program is Filling up 
SDG&E's electric vehicle charging station program,
Power Your Drive
, will install 3,500 electric vehicle charging stations at 350 businesses, apartments, and condos. More than 330 properties have already requested to be considered for the program. It's not too late, join the interest list today! As part of
Power Your Drive, SDG&E will install, own, operate, maintain and bill for the electricity of the charging stations. At least 10% of the charging stations will be installed in disadvantaged communities.
Benefits of Installing EV Charging Stations
- Be one of the first businesses in your area to install EV charging stations
- Increases property value, faster sale
- Increases employee and tenant satisfaction due to added amenities
- Supports tenant contract renewal
- EV drivers are less likely to use a house outlet to plug-in and charge on the house meter
- Demonstrates company commitment to environmental sustainability
How Do Businesses Qualify?
- Join the interest list at sdge.com/PowerYourDrive
- Offer workplace, apartment, or condo charging parking spaces; ten or more will be installed in workplaces, and five or more in apartment communities
- Complete an online form at sdge.com/PowerYourDrive
- Agree to an easement
- Agree to the participation payment (if applicable)
- Meet ADA requirements
By joining the interest list today, your property will be considered for what the California Public Utilities Commission is calling the "largest transportation electrification program in the country"!
