Identity Theft (posted 01/03/05)
IDENTITY THEFT
Identity theft has become one of the fastest growing crimes in the 21st century and has become a major problem in the United States. The average financial loss in each closed identity theft case in the U.S. in fiscal year 2000 was $46,199. There are some simple things that you can do to help prevent from becoming a victim of this crime.
Don't give out your Social Security number, except in cases where it is clearly legitimate. Don't download files from strangers or click on hyperlinks from people you do not know. Update your computer virus protection software regularly Mail bills or checks only from a post office. Be wary of promotional scams. Inspect credit receipts closely every month. Report the loss of any credit card or identification immediately. If your driver's license number is your Social Security Number, ask for a different license number. At restaurants, hand credit card information directly to the waiter and do not let it leave your sight. Tear or shred bills/documents that contain account numbers, social security numbers, or personal information that you put in the trash. Avoid using easy passwords for your credit card, bank account and phone account. Bad examples of passwords are; your birth date, last four of your Social Security Number, your address numbers, phone number, mother's maiden name. (Remember, if it is "easy" it will be "easy" for a thief to access.) If you find a problem, notify creditors that someone might be using your information. Check your credit activity with credit bureaus at Equifax, www.equifax.com: Experian (formerly TRW), www.experian.com: and Trans Union, www.transunion.com.
If you become a victim;
1. Report it to your local police department. 2. Then call the FTC Identity Theft Hotline at 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).
For more information you can call: 1-800-680-7289 or write: Fraud Victim Assistance Division, P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92634 or on the internet go to: www.consumer.gov/idtheft If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to call me or stop by my office.

Save Our Seniors (SOS) ProgramPurpose of the Program
Background Information
For EAGAR and SPRINGERVILLE
One example was an elderly woman living alone that slipped and fell in the bathroom of her home. She fractured her hip and was not able to move from the floor of the bathroom. Neighbors began to get concerned when they had not seen the woman leave her house for three days. The police were contacted and after forcing their way into the house they located the woman. She was in need of serious medical attention and was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Fortunately she was found in time and recovered. The Save Our Seniors (S.O.S.) Program is designed to avoid this type of accident. The Save Our Seniors (S.O.S.) Program consists of daily calls to Senior Citizens or Disabled Persons that live alone or need special attention. The call is to be made by the person participating in the program, to an "established number" and within a certain time frame each day. (The time frame chosen for the Eagar and Springerville program will be 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day.) If the person at the "established number" does not receive a call within that time frame, then a call is made to the person participating in the program. If contact cannot be made by telephone a police officer is sent to the residence to try to contact the Senior Citizen. If the police officer is unable to contact them at their residence, they will use the final step of the program. A key to the residence, (provided by the person participating in the program when they sign up), will be used by the officer to check inside. If no one is located inside the residence it will be locked back up. The police will notify the emergency contact person and tell them the person participating in the program did not make their S.O.S. call for the day. The key to the residence of the person participating in the program will be kept secured at the Police Department of the town they reside. A waiver must be signed by the Senior Citizen and kept on file at the Police Department. The waiver will also contain the names, numbers and addresses of two emergency contact persons. S.O.S.(Saving Our Seniors)Requirements for Participation1. You must live alone. If you live with another person, that person must be unable to render you assistance in an emergency. 2. You must not be in regular daily contact with another person. 3. You must reside in the City of Eagar or Springerville. 4. You must call every day between the hours of 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. The telephone number to call is 333-7131. 5. You must notify 333-7131 if you will be away. For example: If you go away with relatives for a few days, or if you will be leaving your home for a very early day trip, you must let us know that you will not be calling on those days.
6. You must provide the Police
Department with a key to your residence. This key will only be used in
apparent emergency situations to gain access to your residence. |

The Eagar Police Department is investigating several "Opportunity Thefts" from vehicles. An unknown person or persons is entering unlocked vehicles while they are parked at the owner's residence. Any item of value is taken from the vehicle. To avoid becoming a victim the Eagar Police Department would like to offer the following suggestions. · Lock your car (Especially in the evening). Eagar is a small town and things like this did not use to happen but things change. If you want to avoid having items taken from your car, lock it up. · Always remove your keys from the vehicle. It will make it harder to steal and you'll never lock your keys in the car. · Park your car in a lighted area. People who break the law do not like to be seen. The dark and secluded areas provide great opportunities for thieves. · Remove items of value from your car. Do not leave purses, wallets, guns, cameras or other items of value in your vehicle. · If you see something suspicious report it. You might be helping your neighbors or yourself. Many crimes have been solved by a tip from a concerned citizen.
The Eagar Police Department would like you to report any suspicious activity in your neighborhoods. The fastest way to get the information to a police officer is to call 911, or 333-4000. If you wait until the next day or later to give the information the possibility of catching the suspect decreases.

What is hazard mitigation planning?
Some Definitions…
HAZARD – A source of potential danger or adverse condition. Hazards include both natural (floods, earthquakes, winter storms, landslides, wildfires, drought, etc.) and human-caused events (hazardous materials, dam/levee failure, terrorism, transportation accidents, biological, etc.).
HAZARD MITIGATION – Any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards.
PLANNING – the act or process of making or carrying out plans; specifically, the establishment of goals, policies, and procedures for a social or economic unit.
Why are the communities doing this hazard mitigation planning?
The process of hazard mitigation planning is a very important part of any community’s planning program for sustainability. For most communities, mitigation programs for hazards that occur infrequently are usually funded and initiated on a post-disaster basis with solutions that are generally reactionary to the most recent event. This form of hazard mitigation programming is typically more costly, both in property and human losses, on a long-term basis. Congress recognized the deficiency of the current system and in October 2000, passed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K). The overall purpose of DMA2K was to establish a national program for pre-disaster mitigation, streamline administration of disaster relief at both the federal and state levels, and control federal costs of disaster assistance. In general, the DMA2K legislation requires all local, county, and tribal governments to develop a hazard mitigation plan for their respective community in order to be eligible to receive federal pre- and post-disaster mitigation assistance funds. Each community’s hazard mitigation plan must be submitted to and approved by the State of Arizona and FEMA. The deadline for obtaining that approval is November 1, 2004.
How will the plan be developed?
A planning team comprised
of planning and engineering representatives from the cities, tribes, and
county, as well as public utilities, hospitals, police, fire and sheriff’s
departments, and other public and private entities, will be meeting regularly
to work through a hazard mitigation planning process that involves the
following tasks:
Ø Identify hazards that may impact or have impacted the community
Ø Develop a profile of the most relevant hazard events
Ø Assess Vulnerability to Hazards
Ø
Assess the communities capability to mitigate hazards
Ø Establish hazard mitigation activity goals and objectives for the community
Ø Develop hazard mitigation actions and/or projects
Ø Develop an implementation strategy for the plan
Ø Write and officially adopt plan
How can I get involved or obtain more information?
