Morgan Hill Police Department Receives Traffic Education and Enforcement Grant
|
 Morgan Hill Police Department has been awarded a $43,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a year-long enforcement and public awareness program. The traffic safety program is intended to educate the public on safe roadway habits and deter people from violating traffic laws or practicing other unsafe behaviors that lead to injuries and fatalities.

Close Before You Doze
|
|
Forty years ago, people had an average of 17 minutes to escape a burning home after the activation of a smoke alarm. Today, they have about three minutes due to synthetic furnishings, open floor plans and lightweight construction.
The Close Before You Doze campaign features a website that includes safety tips and resources, fire facts and other campaign related news and information. "Our research clearly shows that closed doors dramatically decrease heat and CO levels, which provide trapped occupants more time for help to arrive," said Steve Kerber, UL Director of Firefighter Safety Research. "Closing your doors is especially important at night when people are vulnerable and disoriented, with little time to react. It's such a simple thing to do, and the result can be life versus death."

Water is always a precious resource in Morgan Hill and with this in mind, our permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage the City's potable water supply. These restrictions will help us avoid or minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of the imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill.
From November 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, watering is limited to Wednesdays only.
- Irrigation is allowed before 9 AM or after 7 PM
- Watering is limited to no more than 15 minutes per station
- Watering returns to the three day a week schedule on April 1, 2018

DEVELOPMENTAL ASSET
OF THE MONTH
|
|
| |
Asset #39 - SENSE OF PURPOSE
|
Tips to Help You Implement Asset #39: Sense of Purpose
- Ask your youth what matters to them, what gets them excited about each new day? What are their dreams, interests and passions?
- Give them the opportunity to explore different types of sports, art and music classes, community service, trips to different schools and colleges, etc..
- Talk about family values and the purpose of each family member in the home.
Click here for more information about this month's developmental asset!
Developmental assets are the positive values, relationships, skills and experiences that help youth and teens thrive. Young people with high asset levels are most likely to make healthy choices, while those with lower asset levels are more likely to get involved with negative or risky behaviors like violence, trouble in school, drug and alcohol use and more. The Search Institute of Minneapolis created the developmental assets framework. For more information, visit
