Safety tips for flooding and rain events
As we enter the rainy season, it’ s important for everyone to stay safe and informed. If flooding occurs, avoid walking or driving through flooded areas. Water currents can be unpredictable and it’ s often difficult to judge the depth from the surface. Now is the time to make a plan: know your flood zone, consider purchasing flood insurance and help prevent flooding by keeping storm sewers, inlets, ditches and basins clear of debris. Never dump or throw anything into these drainage systems.

School is out! Safety on the roadway and in construction zones
As the school year comes to a close, children and teens will be spending more time outdoors, walking, biking and playing in neighborhoods and parks. This increase in activity means drivers and parents must be extra vigilant to keep kids safe. Motorists are encouraged to slow down in residential areas, obey posted speed limits and watch for children at crosswalks and intersections.
Parents should remind their children about the importance of looking both ways before crossing streets and avoiding distractions like phones or headphones when near traffic. Additionally, construction zones present unique hazards, so children should stay away from active work sites, obey posted signs and never attempt to enter restricted areas. Wearing bright clothing and using sidewalks whenever possible can help kids remain visible to drivers.
Families should talk about safety measures, including what to do in the event of emergencies or encountering unfamiliar situations. By working together and staying alert, the community can ensure a fun, safe summer for all children as they enjoy their break from school. www. CityofPSL. com / PublicWorks
