There have been several incidents in our neighborhood lately of vandalism and theft. Please be aware of your surroundings and take extra care to lock your cars and your doors. Do not leave garages open, and do not leave your car running unattended. Please contact the West Jordan police(801-256-2000)immediately if you notice anything suspicous. Lets help keep our neighborhood safe!

Emergency Prepardness Tip

Preparedness Tip: Preparing for emergencies doesn’t need to be expensive if you’re thinking ahead and buying small quantities at a time.
Make a list of some foods that:
- Have a long shelf-life and will not spoil (non-perishable).
- You and your family like.
- Do not require cooking.
- Can be easily stored.
- Have a low salt content as salty foods will make you more thirsty.

Keep the list in your purse or wallet and pick up a few items each time you’re shopping and/or see a sale until you have built up a well-stocked supply that can sustain each member of your family for at least three days following an emergency.
