MONTCLAIR FIRE DEPARTMENT

Earthquake Safety 101

Earthquakes can happen anytime, but a little preparation goes a long way. Start by securing heavy furniture, bookshelves, and wall décor so they won’t tip over. If the ground starts shaking, Drop, Cover, and Hold On! Get down low, protect your head and neck under something sturdy, and stay put until the shaking stops. If you’re outside, move away from buildings, trees, and power lines. After the quake, check that everyone’s okay, look out for utility hazards like gas leaks, and listen to official updates before re-entering buildings.

Emergency Medical (EMS) Subscription Program

Each year thousands of 9-1-1 medical calls are received from Montclair residents and businesses. Unexpected emergencies can result in costly medical bills.

By participating in the EMS Subscription Program you can protect yourself, your family or employees against unexpected emergency medical services fees.

For more information on any of the topics listed, please contact the Montclair Fire Department at (909) 447-3500.

In an emergency always call 9-1-1

An emergency is considered an event or occurrence demanding immediate action, or any condition endangering life or property. You should call 9-1-1 if you smell smoke, see a fire, or if there is a serious medical emergency or potentially dangerous situation.

Calling 9-1-1 is serious and calling unnecessarily may endanger someone else's life or property! When calling 9-1-1, give the dispatcher the following information: The phone number you are calling from, your name, your location, and the nature of the problem. Remain on the line until the dispatcher tells you it is okay to hang up.

MONTCLAIR Police Department

Protect Yourself from Property Crimes

Property crime, theft particularly, is an ever-present reality, and there is no shortage of methods criminals can invent to separate you from your hard earned money and property. While some crime continues to be basic, such as theft from vehicles and home window-smash burglaries, technology has enabled a whole new way to take your money, often-times with the victim willingly giving it away without knowing they are being victimized.

Thieves are now leveraging technology and knowledge of human behavior to trick victims into giving away their property. Fraudulent emails (phishing), malware (like a virus, but designed to steal your data), card skimming devices, and phone call/text scams, make the thieves anonymous and more difficult to track. The positive side to these scams is they are completely preventable, if you know what to look out for.

The two most common scams are phishing emails that look to be from a business or person you know, a financial institution, or a scam phone call or text, which appears to be from a government entity like the IRS or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or your local police department. As with all of these scams, they all have one thing in common: There is an URGENT problem needing your IMMEDIATE attention. It could be suspected fraudulent activity on your bank card which you have to verify, or there are unpaid taxes which will result in your arrest. Often the only way to correct the problem is with an immediate payment, often in a gift card or bank transfer. These are ALL scams designed to separate you from your money. Government agencies will never contact you by phone for collection purposes, and if ever in doubt, you can call the agency directly to verify. We will never ask for payment over the phone or email.

If

you are ever in doubt about a suspicious call, email, or other potential scam,

you can always call the police department to speak to an officer to discuss your concern.

No business or government agency should be contacting you and asking you to provide them with any information without your knowledge. Legitimate calls and emails will ask you to contact them, and you should always do so through the business or agency's own website/number, not any links or numbers provided to you. Never click on any links in suspicious emails, and never provide any personal information over the phone to someone who called you. Links in emails can be spoofed, or tricked into looking legitimate, but if you hover your mouse over the link, it will reveal the true destination. Remember, some apps will make a text message appear it is in fact coming from your bank or financial institution.

Technology is not all bad news though, as it can be used to help protect yourself as well. Home surveillance, once expensive and technologically inconvenient for most residents, is now easy and affordable. Products like Ring, Nest, and Blink make it easy to use and set up cameras that can be placed anywhere, and some even have the ability for two-way communication and video sharing with neighbors and police. Most cell-phone carriers have scam call filtering or number blocking, most email has phishing filters which can reduce the number of these attempts, and most computers have built-in malware detection and elimination. As technology is always evolving, it is important to keep all of your electronic devices and software up to date for maximum protection from these scams and to keep your information safe. If you are ever in doubt about a suspicious call, email, or other potential scam, you can always call the police department to speak to an officer to discuss your concern and receive additional guidance or information.
