Burglaries in the area (and surrounding areas) are on the rise.... A reminder- please lock your doors and windows, arm your alarm systems. If you are leaving the home, make the house look like someone is around- leave lights on timers, pick up newspapers. If the house looks empty then you are increasing your chances of being a target. Lock up your valuable items.
If you see suspicious people or vehicles, call us or the Sheriff right away. So often we get information a day or two late - call right away when you see the activity or persons.

Important Weather/ Fire Information
From San Diego County Emergency:
12/9/2017 4:30:00 AM PST
The fire danger remains extreme through the weekend as the National Weather Service is continuing its red flag warning for San Diego County through 8 p.m. Sunday. Single-digit humidity levels in combination with more widespread winds building up strength over the weekend mean residents must stay alert for fires and avoid any activities that could spark a fire.
The Lilac Fire and wildfires to the north of San Diego County serve as a reminder to everyone to have a family emergency plan which includes an emergency kit. As part of that, families should practice evacuating and discuss where they will meet if they are separated when an emergency breaks out.
Pre-planning or pre-packing of irreplaceable documents and mementos could give people peace of mind. News reports on wildfire survivors frequently mention that they had only minutes to flee and left with just the clothes on their back.
Stay informed of local conditions and report any potential fires immediately by calling 9-1-1. Register your cell phones for AlertSanDiego emergency notifications and monitor local news reports.
For the latest emergency updates in English and Spanish, visit www.sdcountyemergency.com, and download the SD Emergency app. If you are affected by the fire and need to talk to someone by phone about evacuations, shelters, road closures and other non-emergency disaster-related services, call 211. If you are hearing impaired, dial 711 and ask to be connected to (858) 300-1211.
Also- be sure to close and lock windows and doors when not at home. False alarm calls due to wind-blown doors and windows reduce service levels for legitimate emergencies. Double check before you leave the house.

Fire Preparedness
Here is some useful information from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department on Preparing for a disaster-
For more information see their website- it has quite a bit of information.
https://www.rsf-fire.org/in-case-of-emergency/
Although we do not have a "boiler plate" evacuation route for everyone to use- because incidents are dynamic and ever changing, you should always have a plan on what to do and what to take; at least two ways out of your neighborhood and know multiple ways to and from work.
You should share this plan with friends and family in advance so they know what to expect.
If you have animals that require evacuation, you should have an up to date plan on how to deal with them. You should contact your local animal shelter, vet or a person with trailers that knows how to handle horses. If you feel threatened during a disaster event and have not been advised to evacuate, you should evacuate sooner than later. It takes time to load up dogs, cats, horses and other animals.
We encourage everyone to register your phone numbers/email addresses with Alert San Diego. This is really important to receive up to date information.

4th of July Parade
The parade starts at the RSF School parking lot at La Granada and Avenida De Acacias and goes through the village to end where it starts. Form up for the parade starts at 12- 12:30. The parade starts at 1:00 pm. There is a community BBQ immediately following in the south village park. To make the form up easier, please keep this in mind:
1. Follow the marshals instructions for form up. Cars go against the curb- don't take up the parking spaces! Make two or three lines if needed. Do not block El Fuego.
2. Kids have to wear Helmets if they are on bicycles (good idea for skateboards too). Parents have to monitor all of their kids throughout the parade route.
3. Have your children to stay in formation. It is dangerous if they run ahead or through the parade.
4.Please, no candy in cars, floats. Throwing candy causes small kids to run into the moving vehicles.
5. Antique cars overheat. If the car has radiator or cooling issues, it may be best not to drive it.
6. Only well trained parade horses should participate. The route is noisy with loud speakers, sirens and lots of people. If the horses cannot be controlled safely we will ask them to move out of the parade.
7. Have Fun!

About that Junk Mail
Recently we were passed a tip by an alert member. She saw some people going through the junk mail trash bin at the post office. They could of been looking for a piece of mail they inadvertently threw out or trying to get some names and addresses.
It makes sense to be mindful of what you are throwing out into the trash... if it just says "resident" or "occupant" then there probably is not much to worry about. But, if you are throwing out those credit card solicitations, or other mail with you name and address on it, you may want to take those home and shred them. Sounds like a hassle, but you never know what someone could pick up.
We will be letting the Postmaster know of the activity to see if they can do anything.

SYNOPSIS:
The Sheriff's Department is looking for additional people to come forward that may have been victims of indecent exposure or inappropriate touching in the North County coastal areas. On May 6, 2017, a Hispanic male adult standing next to a white delivery van in the 4000 block of Vista De La Tierra in Solana Beach grabbed the buttocks of a female pedestrian as she walked past him. The victim was able to run away and was not injured. On May 8, 2017, a white delivery van drove slowly past a female jogger several times in the 17000 block of El Vuelo in Rancho Santa Fe. As the jogger ran past the van that had stopped, she saw the Hispanic male adult driver expose himself. The jogger was able to run across the street as the suspect stepped out of the van with his pants down to his knees.
We believe the same suspect is responsible for both incidents and that an arrest is imminent. The suspect is further described as 5'5" to 5'8" in height, weighing 150 to 200 pounds, 20 to 30 years old, black hair and clean shaven. The van is further described as a newer white, delivery-type van with no windows on the sides similar to the van in the attached photos.
If you have any information about these cases or have been the victim of similar crimes, please call the Sheriff's Sexual Assault Unit at (858) 974-2316 during business hours.
