CITY OF SARATOGA PUBLIC SAFETY TIPS
** There's Snow Better Time for Safety! **
Check out these tips from the City of Saratoga to keep you and your family safe this winter.
1. Immediately report package thefts to 911, including anyone not in a delivery company uniform removing packages from doorsteps.
Check out USPS tracking services that are available.
2. Keep out cold weather and crooks. Always lock windows and doors, including your home, garage, side gates, and car.
3. Don’t leave valuable items in your vehicle or trunk, even if your vehicle is locked or you are away from your car for a short period.
Thieves move as quickly as Rudolph!
4. If you go on holiday, ask a trusted neighbor to pick up mail and newspapers or request a temporary stop on deliveries.
5. Online shopping is a great way to beat the crowds, but watch out for cyber criminals. Use secure payment methods and do not
transfer money directly to sellers for online purchases.
6. Prepare for stormy weather and surprises. Sign up for a Personal Emergency Preparedness Class or join the City of Saratoga
Community Emergency Response Team at www.saratoga.ca.us/CERT.
Make the most of this winter by following these tips!

Winter can make driving a challenge. Here
are some tips to keep you safe:
* Slow down for wet roads to avoid
hydroplaning

driver in front of you to maintain safe
braking distance

the direction you want to go and avoid
slamming on the brakes
