State of California
Safe Schools For All Hub
|
|
Governor Gavin Newsom today announced the launch of transparency, accountability, and assistance measures related to the Safe Schools for All Plan. The Safe Schools for All Hub was launched as a one-stop shop for information about safe in-person instruction, and will be updated frequently.
The four pillars of the Safe Schools for All Plan advance a comprehensive, multi-faceted strategy to ensure that, as transmission rates decrease, the first priority for California communities is to resume in-person instruction. Schools should reopen safely according to a phased-in approach that prioritizes our youngest students and students disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, including students with disabilities.

Happy National Blood Donor Month! You're kind, you're generous, and you've shown your commitment to helping save lives through blood donation. We love you and we want to say thanks.
So here's some big news: come to give blood in January, and you'll be entered for a chance to win a trip to next year's Super Bowl LIV in Los Angeles, the first Super Bowl in SoFi Stadium! The package will include two tickets to Super Bowl to Super Bowl Experience, round-trip airfare to Los Angeles three-night hotel accommodations (Feb. 4 to Feb 7, 2022), plus a $500 gift card for expenses.
And as an extra thank you you'll also be automatically entered to win the Big Game at Home package so your household can enjoy an awesome viewing experience safely at home. This includes a big screen television and a $500 gift card to put toward food and fun.
In the season full of obstacles, the Red Cross is fortunate to witness the best of humanity as blood donors step off the sidelines and roll up a sleeve to help those in need. During the winter months, patients still need lifesaving blood transfusions. Unfortunately, fewer blood donors have come in recently. As a result, there is currently a critical need for the kind of gift only people like you can give. Your hour of time at a blood drive or donation center could give patients a head start on a healthier, happier new year.
COVID-19 Update
With socializing at a minimum this year, why not meet a friend at a blood drive or donation center? You can feel good seeing your friend in an environment specifically designed to protect your health during the ongoing pandemic. Earlier this year, we implemented rigorous COVID-19 safety protocols: temperature checks prior to entering the drive or donation center; social distancing between donation beds as well as waiting and refreshment areas; donors and staff in approved face covering (don't forget to bring your mask); hand sanitizer available for all; and even more rigorous cleanliness procedures than usual.
All donations are tested for COVID-19 antibodies. Results available within one to two weeks via your donor account on both RedCrossBlood.org and the Blood Donor App.
The Red Cross follows the highest standards of safety and infection control. In accordance with CDC guidelines, all donors are required to wear a face covering or mask. Valve face mask are not permitted. Face shields can be worn in addition to face mask but not as a substitute.

Protect Yourself from
Mail Theft
|
|
Mail thieves are constantly on the lookout for easy-to access mail boxes with mail left inside. They are mainly looking for checks, credit card and loan applications, bank statements, online order packages, and any other correspondence with account numbers. It's important to remember that mail theft is preventable. Below are some easy tips to help you prevent becoming a victim.
- Invest in a high quality locking mailbox. These are available online and in most home improvement stores.
- Mail arrives, relatively, at the same time each day. Be aware of the time and make sure to remove mail from the mailbox as soon as it is delivered. Never leave mail in your mailbox overnight.
- Use a mailbox alarm device to let you know when mail has arrived. These are available online and in most home improvement stores.
- Contact banks and credit card companies and go paperless. By going paperless you will receive emails with links to your statements.
- Do not leave outgoing mail in your mailbox for pickup - especially envelopes with checks or account numbers inside. Drop off outgoing mail to your nearest post office or certified USPS mailbox.
- When you get unsolicited credit card applications, contact the company and request to be removed from their mailing list.
If you have any critical information regarding individuals stealing your mail please call and report to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (626) 330 - 3322.
