                5 SPRING SAFETY TIPS
1. Don’t    underestimate the power and force of water. Remember, it’s never safe to drive or walk into
   any kind of flood waters.

2. Ifandyou’re caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get out of the car quickly
          move to higher ground. Most cars can be swept away by less than two feet of moving water.

3. Danger can lurk in the water: downed power lines or other debris may not be easily visible.
4. Ifdriving
       you see a downed power line, move at least ten feet away from it – or anything touching it. If you’re
             and your car comes in contact with a downed power line, stay in your car.

5. Make     a safety kit for home, and one for your vehicle. Include items like water, packaged foods
   that cooking isn’t necessary, manual can opener and basic utensils, medications and emergency
     numbers, and don’t forget the flashlight with batteries.

    BE AWARE OF THE RISKS
    DURING WARMER TEMPERATURES
    During warmer weather, there are motorcyclists, bicyclists, and kids of all ages
    out enjoying the sun.

.    This beautiful weather brings out tipsy drivers leaving gatherings and teen drivers with a
     fresh license and free time. Be cautious and keep a safe distance from the motorist who
     seem impaired, distracted or lacking experience.
.    The hot sun can send out a tremendous glare causing visual difficulty, leading to vehicle crashes.
     Prepare for the sunshine and leave a pair of sunglasses in your car.
.    Take care of your passengers. On average, 39 children under the age of 15 die each year from
     heatstroke after being left in a hot vehicle. Never leave them or your pets alone in a vehicle.

AUBURN HILLS THE CITY OF SPRING & SUMMER 2020 - spring & summer 2020 VOLUME 29 - City of Auburn Hills
Oakland County turns 200 years old this year and Auburn Hills has been a part of
          Oakland County’s history ever since Aaron Webster and his wife Sarah became Auburn Hills’ first
          permanent settlers. They purchased 320 acres of land along the Clinton River then built a sawmill and
          their home in what is today downtown Auburn Hills. Their early efforts attracted other settlers to the
          area creating a community which has grown over the years from those humble beginnings. Auburn
          Hills was originally Pontiac Township and downtown Auburn Hills started out as a small village named
          Auburn. Later that name changed to Amy and then to Auburn Heights before finally becoming Auburn
          Hills. Oakland County began as part of Macomb County before Oakland County was founded in 1819
          and organized in 1820. Oakland County now boasts sixty-two communities including Auburn Hills
          within its borders and is one of the most prosperous counties in the country. Both Oakland County
          and Auburn Hills have gone through many changes in the past 200 years and it is time to celebrate
          this milestone birthday.

          Many events are planned this year throughout Oakland County and every community will also receive
          a celebratory oak tree to plant commemorating Oakland County’s 200th birthday. Auburn Hills too is
          planning events that acknowledge this bicentennial milestone of our county so be watching for those
          announcements throughout the year.
