In Monrovia, preparedness in the foothills also means sharing sharing space with wildlife. Here's how to keep your family and local animals safe:

- Secure trash cans & pick fallen backyard fruit daily.
- Keep pet food inside and supervise pets outdoors.
- If you see a bear or coyote: Stay calm, do NOT run, keep your distance, and make loud noises!

Through available Pasadena Humane services, you can also:
- Attend a free Exclusion Workshop to learn humane ways to animal-proof your property from a Certified Wildlife Technician.
- Get professional help preventing bears from denning under decks or crawl spaces through the Wildlife Exclusion Program. Services include home inspections, scent applications, and entry-point sealing.
- Visit pasadenahumane.org for workshop details, service options, and pricing

An extreme heat watch is in effect for Monrovia, and we want everyone to stay safe this week.

A few reminders to keep get you through the heat:

☀ Avoid the sun: Stay indoors when you can, cut back on outdoor physical activity, and if you do head out - wear light clothing, sunglasses, and be sure to apply sunscreen.

🤝 Check on those at higher risk: Elderly neighbors, people without air conditioning, infants and young children, and anyone working or exercising outdoors face the highest risk of heat-related illness. A quick check-in to your family, friends, and neighbors could make a difference.

💧Stay hydrated: Drink water and even electrolytes throughout the day, even before you feel thirsty, and replenish salt and minerals if you're sweating a lot.

❄ Stay cool indoors: If you don't have air conditioning, Monrovia's Community Center and Public Library are open and air-conditioned for anyone needing a break from the heat!
