Stop and Think

On September 2nd, the Napa Sheriff’s Office is launching its own, very simple, messaging campaign; “Stop and Think”.  “Stop and Think” is our effort to remind our residents, visitors, and ourselves, to slow down, stop, and think about how our actions affect others.

1.       Napa County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Vehicles will have “Stop and Think” bumper stickers on the right portion of the rear bumper.

2.       Napa County Sheriff’s POPP Deputies will be distributing 4”x 4” static cling window stickers (“Stop and Think”) to businesses and residents, water bottles (“Stop and Think”) to cyclists, and 4”x 4” rubber coasters (“Stop and Think”) to winery tasting rooms.

3.       Napa County Sheriff’s Deputies will be issuing 4”x 4” rubber markers (“Stop and Think”) to motorists/cyclists/field contacts in lieu of citations when a warning is appropriate.

Life can be complicated ……but our message is simple:  The Napa County Sheriff’s Office would like you to “Stop and Think” about how your actions affect others.

A Guide To Citizen Preparedness

Annually, California is plagued with all types of disasters, from wildfires to floods to earthquakes.  These incidents can strike quickly and without warning.  The magnitude of the event can force you to evacuate your neighborhoods or they may confine you to your home.  In any event, what would you do if basic services such as water, gas, electricity or telephones were cut off?  The best way to make your family and your home safer is to be prepared before the disaster strikes.

The Angwin Vol. Fire Department strongly encourages our property owners, businesses, renters, and visitors to develop a disaster plan.  For more information and assistance in creating your plan please visit http://www.fema.gov/plan/index.shtm
