The past few months have been trying for many of us. And while it is not suggested to meet in large groups, we should still seek council from the community for the many issues we face.

The rise of Zoom has created an online community in which we can ask questions and find information without having to directly interact with people. This has changed the way businesses operate and will continue to aid us in the future.

We used to hold meetings and have community gatherings, but now we are advised not to do so. This doesn't mean we can't uphold a strong communication with the people around us.

If anyone has any questions or concerns regarding property restoration or Covid-19 disinfecting, be sure to contact SERVPRO of Redondo Beach. We are happy to be of service! 310-939-9293

C.E.R.T. Academy

4/10/2018 (Permalink)

Are You Ready?

The Redondo Beach Fire Department C.E.R.T. Academy will take place April 19 through June 16 and is now accepting applications.

The Redondo Beach Fire Department C.E.R.T. Academy began in April 1996, with overwhelming success. To date, over 1000 individuals have received training. The C.E.R.T. concept is based on increasing disaster preparedness and awareness within the community by having a core group of trained individuals capable of assisting themselves, their family and their neighbors in the event of a catastrophic disaster.

Although Fire and Police emergency service personnel are the best trained and equipped to handle disasters, they will not be able to help everyone in post disaster response and recovery. You can make the difference by using the training you will receive to save lives and protect property. Are you ready?

Saving water, recycling, helping our community and do our part for the world

Education for water recycling

Southern California Drought became a history in 2017. The blessing of rain was plenty during fall, and winter 2016 and spring of 2017, but this past fall and our present winter do not look promising and we face another lack of water in the future. The good news is we all got better in saving water usage in our homes and our yards.

Nevertheless, we can become better by being able to use rainwater with some education.

West Basin Municipal Water District is hosting an event at Redondo Beach Performing Art Center teaching residents how to harvest and use rainwater for irrigation, as well as how to legally and safely reuse water in the washer to wash 2 loads instead of one, and save!

If you missed the event there is still the book "Greywater Green Landscape" that can help catch up with the subject knowledge.

Although water shortage is already a global issue around the world, we as member of this beautiful and blessed area of Southern California even with the knowledge of the fact that our water reservoirs are still full from last year's rain, feel the importance to be involved in helping ourselves and each other, and the world to save, save and save this valuable, vital element of life.

In the past couple of decades, the fact that lots of single family homes were rebuilt to newer construction, using the land to build bigger homes already saves water. The new plumbing, bathroom and kitchen equipment and supplies help reduce wasting water. New constructions are ongoing in the area. Recent rebuilt of eastern areas of Redondo, Manhattan and Hermosa Beach where parcels have bigger land is going to be further beneficial for the cause.

Part of each beautiful home whether older or newe constructions in Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach is still greenery because we all love outdoor living and green is beautiful.

California Wildfire

10/10/2017 (Permalink)

Although wildfire in California is a seasonal event, it seems that this year we are facing unusually devastating human and casualty damage.

We would like to keep members of our community informed. This blog  post contains useful hints to follow and links to get the latest information.

If you do not have an emergency plan, please prepare one that helps protect lives and valuables. Prepare emergency supplies ( this can be a purse with extra eyeglasses, a credit card, important emergency contact, your own information, 3 day supply of your prescription medication, water bottles and nutritious bars). Have protective clothing and footwear, Save copy of your important document in a cloud based platform. 

If ordered to evacuate, do so immediately. 

Officials will be able to guide you with the best route to reach a safe area.

California authorities update the following map contentiously.

Areas not immediately threatened but adjacent to the wildfire may get a substantial amount of soot, smoke and haze which could affect health for some people. In this case it is recommended to stay inside with closed windows and doors.  

 While we care with continuous positive thoughts and prayers for the victims of this natural disaster, SERVPRO of Redondo Beach/Manhattan Beach is here to help mitigate loss, when it comes to property damaged by fire in and around the areas of our community.

Vandalism Tips from SERVPRO of Redondo Beach

11/18/2016 (Permalink)

"Vandalism is not a victimless crime."

Regardless of which city or town you’re in, you'll likely find signs of graffiti and vandalism. It can be found on commercial property, residential property, strip malls, public transportation and billboards. Graffiti is done in all sorts of ways too; like paint, spray paint, etching and markers, which makes removing graffiti difficult.

Removing Graffiti

Start by determining what type of product was used and the material of the surface that was vandalized. The following removal options work the best at removing spray paint, stencils, shoe polish and markers.

Glass

Scrape away the graffiti with a razor blade, or try paint thinner and rinse clean.

Masonry

Sand blasting or power washing are the best options. You can also opt for chemical graffiti remover such as “Goof Off” Pro Strength Removers .

Fiberglass/Aluminum Sidings

Apply a small amount of paint remover to the surface, then rinse with water.

Vinyl Siding

Just a little bit of chemical solvents will remove graffiti.  Use caution as you do not want to remove the vinyl.

Metals

Apply solvents and run it out with sandpaper or steel wool.  Power washing will also do the job.

 

With whichever method you decide to use, test a small area before proceeding with the entire surface.
