 Hi, I'm Mariah Beckham, Public Information Officer with Cal OES. Fall brings changes to California from cooler temperatures, falling leaves, kids going back to school, and spending more time outdoors. With these changes, Cal OES would like everyone to be aware and prepared this fall. Test your smoke alarms? Check the seals on doors and windows. Have fireplaces and chimneys inspected? Never lean burning candles unattended? Clean and check your gutters. And watch for roadway hazards and children, especially during school hours. Now is the time to make sure your friends, your family, and your home are prepared. To learn more about fall prevention and safety, visit news.caloes.ca.gov and visit us on all of our social media platforms.
