Since June is National Safety Month, the Youth Services Department has books and literature on display, as well as suggestions about how you can "Play It Safe This Summer" by assembling a Family Emergency Kit that will help keep your family comfortable during emergency situations.
Did you know that the Santa Clara County Public Health Department advises families to keep two weeks of emergency supplies for use during medical emergencies, such as pandemic flu, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes? A brief supply list is available in Youth Services. A complete booklet, "Preparing for the Pandemic Flu," can be downloaded from the Santa Clara County website.
The Youth Services safety display is part of the "On the Path to Good Health" series that is supported by Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends and Kaiser Permanente.
