 | From Captain Stephen & the Marina del Rey Sheriff Station:
As you now know there have been multiple terrorist attacks in Paris that appear to have been coordinated. We join all Americans in offering our thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families.
The FBI reports that there are no known related threats to the continental United States. However, I have directed my deputies to patrol with a heightened sense of awareness. We are also asking our citizens to be aware of their surroundings and to report suspicious activity to Marina del Rey Sheriff's Station or your local Police. |

 | DISASTER PREPAREDNESS-ARE YOU READY
Disasters can affect many people and a wide area such as an earthquake, or can affect less people and a smaller area such as a severe windstorm that knocks down thousands of power lines, blocking streets and making it difficult for repair crews to restore power for many days or over a week.
Even if only a few people are affected, if it's you, it's 100%.
Instead of ignoring these facts and hoping for the best, take action now to help yourself and the people you love. Would you be ready if there were an emergency? |
