Orinda, California Schools Covid Safety Response & Orinda Top Schools

Orinda, California Schools Covid Safety Response The district of Orinda Union School is committed to the health and safety of students, employees, and families. They closely track data and information relating to the novel coronavirus. Coronavirus is a type of virus that causes diseases that range in severity from the common cold to more severe respiratory diseases. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new coronavirus strain that has not been identified in humans before. The California Department of Education, the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE), and Contra Costa Health Services receive regular updates on COVID-19 from the Orinda Union School District. To avoid the dissemination of all infectious diseases, schools should take common-sense precautions. In order to avoid COVID-19 and the spread of other common diseases such as influenza and gastroenteritis, these precautions can help: Sick people should stay at home from work or school until they are better (fever-free for at least 24 hours). For at least 20 seconds, wash your hands regularly with soap and water. When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. People who are diseased should always use a tissue or the crook of their elbow to cover their coughs and sneezes; wash your hands after using a tissue to clean your nose or mouth. Stop rubbing your unwashed hands with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Healthy Hygiene Practices and Cleaning Good hygiene procedures at each school location will be promoted during the day. Students will be instructed and workers will be reminded to wash their hands regularly and vigorously for at least 20 seconds during the day with either soap and water, or with hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol) if soap and water are not available. Before entering and leaving a classroom, students and staff are expected to wash their hands. To prevent contact with one’s eyes, nose, or mouth, and to cover coughs and sneezes, students will also be advised and staff reminded. In order to remind students and staff of the significance of hand hygiene, age-appropriate signage will be installed throughout the school. Where & How Designated Hand Washing Stations (HWS) Classrooms Restrooms Scrub with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer if soap and     water are not accessible When Upon arrival Upon entering/exiting any school facility Before and after recess Before and after restroom use Upon return to classroom after using the restroom At dismissal Adults need to wash hands when they work with a new cohort In Classrooms Put paper towels on student desks to avoid lines Keep an extra roll of paper towels in classroom Portable hand sanitizer/soap bottles for teacher use Face Coverings, Essential Protective Gear, Ventilation Both students, employees, and other approved individuals on campus are required to wear face coverings that cover the mouth and nose, according to current state and county health guidelines. It is proposed that cloth masks should have two or more layers of breathable fabric per CDC guidelines, and should not have exhalation valves or vents. Disposable 3-ply surgical masks are more efficient than cloth face coverings, as recommended by the CDPH guidelines for the use of face coverings, and should be worn by teachers and staff. In the event that any student or staff member comes to campus without a mask, each office will keep a supply of face covers on hand. No one will be permitted to come onto campus without a proper face covering. Teachers and staff will consistently remind students about proper mask etiquette and will consistently enforce mask wearing compliance.

What Is Earthquake Retrofitting?

What Is Earthquake Retrofitting? All of a sudden, without warning, earthquakes happen. Old houses can be seriously damaged by motion on the ground surface. Homes constructed before 1980 are particularly at risk since many of them were not designed to withstand shaking and moving. A house is retrofitted to avoid the displacement from the concrete base of the building in an earthquake. This is better and less likely to destroy a building in the case of an earthquake.  Earthquake retrofitting (Seismic retrofitting) is a shift in existing structures to make them more resistant to ground movements or earthquakes. The need for seismic retrofitting is well-known from a deeper understanding of the need for seismic structural services and our recent experiences of major earthquakes near urban centres.  Until electronic seismic codes were adopted in the late sixties for developing countries (United States, Japan etc.) and in many other parts of the world in the late 1970s, a number of structures were built for seismic protection without appropriate detail and reinforcement. Different research work was conducted in view of the imminent issue. State-of-the-art technical guidelines have been released around the world for seismic assessments, improvements and rehabilitations, such as the ASCE-SEI 41 and the Earthquake Engineering Guidelines for the New Zealand Community. The codes must be constantly revised, for example the fragility of welded steel structure was shown by the earthquake in Northridge in 1994. Additional natural hazards such as tropical cyclones, tornadoes and strong wind triggered by hurricanes are also subject to retrofitting techniques. While current seismic retrofitting activities primarily concentrate on structural improvements to reduce the seísmic danger of using structures, the hazards and losses caused by non-structural elements need to be reduced. It is also important to note that there are no seismic structures, but the seismic efficiency can be greatly improved by the correct initial design or subsequent modifications. Reasons Why Earthquake Retrofitting is Important It improves protection. Properly retrofitted houses against earthquakes and destruction have been improved. You have reduced the risk of damage or even death from an earthquake, and your house is safer. It protects your financial assets. In your old home, you spent a lot of time and resources. The repair costs that you will face after a devastating earthquake could be very expensive without seismic retrofitting. Think about it this way: to retrofit your home now is much cheaper than to fix it after an earthquake. It assures you a place to live. It could take years for your house to be fixed if you have not seismically fixed and if an earthquake damages your home, it will also take you a loan to make repairs. Also note that people often have to leave their homes during reconstruction, and usually rental rates in impacted areas are raised after a major disaster.

The state order went into effect at 11:59 p.m. in the Bay Area, including Contra Costa. Thursday, the 17th of December, 2020. Contra Costa lifted its local order at that moment because it became redundant with the state’s. The regional stay-at-home order by the state lasts for a period of three weeks.

They have a compressive and flexural strength beyond that of block concrete, which exceeds the mandatory safety factor. Concrete walls are exceptionally stable, providing increased sustenance and firmness to the home. Unlike other types of foundations, they do not move under the house by moving the soil. Due to its durability, the most commonly used building material for the foundation is poured concrete. Poured concrete foundation has a multitude of advantages over block concrete and other types of foundations. A sustainable foundation means a much safer home, resilient to unnatural changes in the soil underneath the home. Protection from potential water damage and fire damage is a plus since they can occur more frequently than abnormal land shifts. In the absence of the need to maintain your concrete foundation, you will have more time to worry about more important areas in your home that need your attention.

Park Safety in Danville, California

Park Safety in Danville, California One of the easiest ways to keep your mind and body safe is to remain physically involved. People can visit parks, trails, and open spaces in many areas as a way to reduce stress, get some fresh air, and keep healthy. While these facilities and areas can provide health benefits, to protect yourself and others from COVID-19, it is crucial that you follow the steps below. Try to protect against exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that triggers COVID-19, by practicing social distancing and regular acts such as washing hands regularly and covering coughs and sneezes while visiting parks, beaches, or leisure facilities accessible to public use. Check with the park or recreation area in advance for safe planning National, state or local parks: the federal or state authorities and local authorities will determine if parks and other recreation facilities will be opened. Check with the park in advance to make sure you know which areas or amenities are available, such as visitor centers, bathroom facilities, and concessions, and bring with you what you need, such as hand sanitizers or other items to ensure proper hygiene. Beaches or other swimming areas: State and local authorities will decide whether to open up swimming areas in oceans, lakes and other natural waters. For more information, like whether the water is open for swimming, please consult with individual beaches. Visit the parks near your home Traveling long distances to visit the park can contribute to the spread of COVID-19, as follows: Travel may require you to stop along the way or to be in close touch with others with whom you may not normally be in contact. You may also be exposed to surfaces infected with SARS-CoV-2, a virus that triggers COVID-19. Wear a mask Please wear a mask as possible. Masks are most important in periods when social distances are challenging, including hiking on trails that may be popular or crowded. Masks are not to be put on: Kids under the age of 2 Anyone who has difficulty breathing Anyone who is unconscious cannot move or otherwise be unable to remove the mask without assistance. Masks should not be worn when you partake in activities where the mask can become wet, including swimming. Using social distances to avoid crowded parks Stay at least 6 feet from people you’re not living with (“social distance”) at all times. This could make certain open spaces, trails, and roads easier to use than others. Don’t go to a crowded place. Stop gathering people for whom you don’t live. Evite crowded parks. Don’t visit parks where you can’t stand at least 6 feet away from those you’re not staying with.   Wash hands often Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, particularly after going to the bathroom, eating, and blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Adults and older children who can properly use a hand sanitizer: use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol and rubs hands together until it is dry if soap and water are not readily accessible. East Bay Parks issues rattlesnake advisory warning to park tourists Upon arrival of spring weather, officials of the East Bay Regional Park District noted the re-emergence of snakes—most prominently rattansnakes—and released a safety warning to park guests. According to park officials, when the weather is warm, snakes come out to explore their habitats, which can lead to further encounters with humans and dogs. There are however, some steps that can be taken to minimize the danger posed to hikers and snakes alike. Stop hiking on your own so that you can help in case of emergency—by local health orders, people can only walk with their immediate household members because of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Scan the ground in front of you as you walk, jog or ride. Keep on the trails and stop walking in the grass. Take a close look around and under logs and rocks before you settle down. Stop positioning your hands or feet where you can’t see clearly. Keep leached pets on designated trails and away from snakes if they encounter one—both dogs should be on leash at all times, in all parks during COVID-19. Bring a lot of water to yourself and your pets as a drinking fountain is temporarily closed. Many parks do not have a direct supply of water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELE6TBzMz-E Are You Looking for a Concrete Foundation Specialist You Can Trust?
