National Public Works Week
Public Works is the heartbeat of any city, developing and maintaining buildings, roads, water systems, and solid waste handling. The people who work in public works are solving some of the toughest problems faced by our community, our country, and our world.
Since 1960, the American Public Works Association (APWA) selected "Public Works: Creating a Lasting Impression" as its theme for 2012's National Public Works Week, which will be celebrated May 20-26. "For one week each year, we step out from behind the scenes. Public Works in the 21st century means so much more than plowing roads. You'll find dedicated professionals doing a range of essential jobs, from building fire stations to highway interchange improvements, from managing re-cycling programs and planting trees to collecting hazardous waste and providing engineering, capital project management, and traffic safety for pedestrians and motorists.

Summer Safety
Firework Safety
Public Safety officials from the County of Riverside would like to remind all residents and visitors that fireworks are illegal in Riverside County. ALL fireworks, including sparklers, are illegal in Riverside County because they can cause serious injuries and very often cause fires.
During the first week in July, please visit the website and follow the link to view a list of approved public fireworks shows for the 2012 July 4th holiday.
Any person that causes a wildland fire by using illegal fireworks will be held responsible for all suppression costs. These costs can run into the millions of dollars. Protecting the safety of the public is a top priority and the County enforces "zero tolerance" with regard to citizens in possession of illegal fireworks. Those caught with illegal fireworks will be subject to fines, citation and/or arrest; including confiscation of all illegal fireworks.
Wildfire Awareness & Preparation
This campaign assists home owners in preparing themselves, their families, and their homes for wildfires.
- Be "Ready:" create100 feet of defensible space between your home and any nearby wild land,
- Get "Set:" create a wildfire action plan for what items to take with you when it is time to evacuate, and
- Finally, if an evacuation is ordered, "Go" and leave your home early.
For more information on this program, please visit the Ready for Wildfire webpage.

Wishing the Class of 2012 a Safe and Sober Graduation
The Moreno Valley Police Department's Traffic Unit recently conducted a D.U.I. Awareness Presentation for all of the seniors at Moreno Valley High School. This DUI Presentation was provided as an effort to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and underage drinking, and to encourage the use of sober designated drivers, with the ultimate goal of reducing the tragic deaths and catastrophic injuries associated with impaired driving.
Organized by members of the Moreno Valley Traffic Unit in cooperation with members from Riverside County's "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" (MADD), the event captured the attention of approximately 400 - 500 students and approximately 20 faculty members.
Event components included the display of the MADD trailer, plus speakers from the MADD Victim Impact Panel described their own tragic experiences with D.U.I. drivers. Members from the Moreno Valley Traffic Unit spoke to the students about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking and impaired driving. Students then tried on D.U.I. goggles, which demonstrate the effects of alcohol on vision and coordination, and thay examined the P.E.B.T. device used by officers in the field to determine the blood alcohol content of a person suspected of impaired driving.
Arrive Alive: Don't Text & Drive
Another important lesson for driving teens is that texting while driving can cost lives.
