This residential and business friendly atmosphere is a livable, attractive, safe,inclusive and sustainable coastal community that embraces the oceanside and riverside as the main amenities, and supports and promotes local tourism,culture,recreation,commerce, municipal civic interests and education. We envision: A City network of"complete streets"with a native-landscaped and tree-lined median with traffic calming elements and dark-sky street lighting. "Complete street"amenities include bicycle facilities,covered transit stops and safe pedestrian crossings that invite pedestrians and bicyclists to access the beach,river, local neighborhoods and adjacent communities. Our improved"complete streets"will allow us to travel calmly to intimate waterfront destinations and a walkable uptown core. Multi-use paths lined with shade trees should be wide enough for bikes and pedestrians and lighted so anyone can walk or bicycle safely anywhere in town, day or night. We envision: Welcoming community entrance features that create a sense of arrival and unique community identity as The Space Between®. The"uptown"and other areas will contain an architecturally rich and unique mix of uses,with wide tree shaded sidewalks and umbrella covered café tables at restaurants and bistros where friends gather, interact and enjoy drinks and dinner. We envision: An engaged and compassionate community that; removes or transforms blighted and unfinished buildings into attractive structures, offers city-wide green spaces,provides a pet-friendly park with ample shade,acts progressively but deliberately and actively recruits and supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our residents and visitors with goodwill. We envision: Open shorelines and rivers accessible to the public including amenities that take advantage of the water, such as limited and quaint water-view establishments and intimate public gathering and entertainment places that may include pavilions, gazebos or a performance stage. re you #HurricaneReady?

Are Women Better At Creating Safe, Respectful Workplaces? (Source: Pew Research Center) In the current climate, Americans are looking to business leaders to ensure workplaces are safe and respectful. Findings from the Pew Research Center show that many believe female leaders are better equipped to provide these settings than men are. See the survey results below: Is it essential for business leaders to create a safe and respectful workplace? • Yes 89% • Not important 2% • Important, but not essential 9% Who is better at ensuring a safe and respectful workplace? • Women 43% • Men 5% • No difference 52% Perceptions differ significantly by educational attainment, a gap driven almost entirely by well-educated women. Roughly two-thirds (64%) of women with a bachelor's degree say female business leaders do a better job of creating safe and respectful workplaces. This compares with 47% of men with at least a bachelor's degree, 41% of women without a college degree and 33% of men without a college degree. There are also differences by political party. Democrats and Independents are much more likely than Republicans to say women do a better job in this area(53% vs. 31%). Most Republicans (62%) say there is no difference between male and female leaders in their ability to maintain a safe and respectful workplace, compared with 42% of Democrats. re you #HurricaneReady?

Is sexual harassment a barrier for women trying to succeed in business? Of people polled, 42% say a major reason why there aren't more women in top positions is because sexual harassment creates an environment that makes it harder for women to succeed in business. Half of women say this is a major factor, compared with a third of men. Is sexual harassment a problem in your industry? Just under half(47%) of respondents answered yes to this question. Is sexual harassment a problem in your own workplace? More than a third(35%) of respondents said this was a problem in their workplaces.

Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and SPR Workshop The director participated in the Brevard County THIRA and Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) Workshop held at the Brevard County Emergency Operations Center. THIRA helps Communities understand their risks and determine the level of capability they need in order to address those risks. The result of this process lays the foundation for determining a Community's capability gaps as part of the SPR. The workshop focused on hazards that could present the greatest challenge for the 32 core capabilities such as a Category 5 hurricane on Labor Day with landfall at the Brevard/Volusia County line or an active shooter/coordinated complex attack similar to Pulse in Orlando. The workshop was a good first step to identifying the areas Brevard County, non-profits, municipalities and local agencies need to focus on in order to delivery a prepared and coordinated response. re you #HurricaneReady?

Visit www.citvofcanecanaveral.org/hurricane Brevard County Sheriff's Office Canaveral Precinct Update for Week Ending September 28, 2018 Prevent Home Burglary 1. Many people feel somewhat helpless when it comes to home burglaries. It is common to hear someone say, "If a burglar wants to break in,you're not going to stop them." Thankfully, this is not the case. Burglars apply the same work ethic to breaking into homes that they do in life —they are lazy and look for the easiest targets. As a result, you can greatly reduce your chances of your home being burglarized if you follow some or all of the tips below to make your home less of an easy target. o Lock all doors, sliding glass doors and windows. Many burglars simply walk in. o Close your garage doors all the way. People leaving their garage doors partially open for pets or ventilation are an invitation to criminals. Criminals simply drop to the ground, roll under the door and gain entrance to your garage. Once in the garage, they can take their time breaking into your home. There are tools for them to use. It is very easy to get into most homes through the garage. They can break through the walls leading into the house or climb up into the attic and drop down through the ceiling into your home. o Equip all exterior doors with a deadbolt lock with a one-inch throw. The lock should also have a highly pick-resistant cylinder. Some versions even have guard plate, which adds to the security. o Exterior doors that have windows or glass panels in them or near them are attractive to criminals, especially side doors leading into garages. Criminals simply break the glass, reach around and unlock the lock. For these doors, it is recommended that a double-cylinder deadbolt be used. This is simply a deadbolt that needs a key for both sides. When a criminal reaches around, he or she cannot turn the lock. For safety reasons,please place an additional key on the inside of your home where you can reach it easily in case of emergencies, but the burglar can't. re you #HurricaneReady? Make a plan! Visit www.citvofcanecanaveral.org/hurricane o Don't list your name on your mailbox or house. However, it is very important that your house number is clearly visible for emergency responders. It is a good idea to have your house number both on your mailbox and in a lighted location on your home. o Whenever you go outside, lock your doors and close your garage door, even if you are just stepping next door or out mowing the backyard. It is not uncommon for burglars to watch you do lawn work as they burglarize your home. They can see you easily,but you cannot see them. 2. In addition, don't let criminals get too much visual information at your front door. Criminals often times pose as someone legitimate so they can go to a front door to: o See if anyone is home. o See if the home is easy to break into. o See if there is a dog. o See if there is an activated alarm system. o See if there appears to be anything worth stealing. o If possible,block the view from the front door into your home. Install a door viewer or peephole so that you can see visitors,but they cannot see you. If you have an alarm system, use it. An inactivated alarm system, especially one that has a control panel that can be seen from the front door, is an invitation to be burglarized. Consider placing alarm and"Beware of Dog" signs or stickers around your front entrance even if you do not have an alarm or a dog as an additional deterrent to thieves. 3. When on vacation, make your house look as occupied as possible. o Have a trusted neighbor or friend remove accumulating newspapers and so forth. o Consider placing interior lights on timers and exterior lights on dusk-to-dawn sensors. (Keeping exterior lights on during daytime hours is a bad practice and can alert criminals to the fact that you are away.) o Consider leaving a locked vehicle (with no valuables)parked in the driveway or ask a trusted neighbor to use your driveway to give the appearance someone is there. o Reduce the amount of people you tell that you are leaving. Only tell those who truly need to know. re you #HurricaneReady? Make a plan! Visit www.citvofcanecanaveral.org/hurricane o Check with your local law enforcement agency to see if they can put your home on a vacation watch while you are away. If your home is patrolled by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, please call (321) 633-7162 to request a watch.
