Article: COZY UP TO FALL: 10 EASY ENERGY-SAVING TIPS FOR YOUR HOME
As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler, it's a great time to think about how you can save on your energy bill. With just a few simple adjustments, you can keep your home comfortable while keeping costs down.
1. Seal drafts: Check your windows and doors for drafts and use weather stripping or caulk to seal up gaps. This will keep the warm air inside and the cold air out, making your heating system work more efficiently.
2. Adjust your thermostat: Lowering your thermostat by just a few degrees can make a big difference. Try setting it to 68°F when you’re home and awake and lower it when you’re asleep or away. A programmable thermostat can make this even easier.
3. Maintain your heating system. Make sure your heating system is running efficiently by scheduling a maintenance check. Replace filters regularly to ensure your system is working at its best.
4. Unplug devices: Even when they’re turned off, devices can still use energy if they’re plugged in. Unplug them when they’re not in use or use a power strip to easily turn off multiple items at once.
5. Use ceiling fans wisely. Set your ceiling fans to rotate clockwise at a low speed. This will push warm air down from the ceiling, helping to keep your rooms warmer.
6. Close the fireplace damper. When your fireplace is not in use, make sure the damper is closed. An open damper allows warm air to escape up the chimney.
7. Use rugs. Cover bare floors with rugs to help insulate your home. Rugs can help keep your feet warm and reduce the need for extra heating.
8. Try shorter showers. Hot water can be a big energy expense. Try to take shorter showers and consider installing a low-flow showerhead to reduce water usage.
9. Insulate your home. Adding insulation to your attic, walls and floors can help keep the heat in and the cold out. This can make a big difference in your energy use.
10. Use natural light. Take advantage of the sun’s natural heat by opening curtains and blinds during the day. This can help warm up your home without using extra energy.
By following these tips, you can enjoy a warm and cozy home while staying in control of your energy bill. Find more energy-saving tips at

California es conocida por sus paisajes hermosos, pero también es escenario de numerosos desastres naturales, como terremotos, incendios forestales, inundaciones y tsunamis. Estar preparado para estos eventos es crucial. Aquí tienes algunos pasos para mantenerte seguro:
1. Mantente informado
o Alertas y avisos: Regístrate para recibir alertas de emergencia con información en tiempo real sobre desastres inminentes, en sitios web del gobierno local o en MyEnergyCenter.com. Inicia sesión, selecciona Cuenta, Notificaciones, luego Cortes y Fugas de Gas. También puedes descargar la app My Energy Center o la app Alerts by SDG&E.
o Conoce tus riesgos: Infórmate sobre los tipos de desastres comunes en tu área. Por ejemplo, las regiones costeras pueden ser más propensas a tsunamis, mientras que las zonas interiores pueden tener mayor riesgo de incendios forestales.
2. Crea un plan
o Plan de comunicación familiar: Establece un plan de comunicación con tu familia. Decide lugares de encuentro y asegúrate de que todos tengan los números de contacto de emergencia. Para quienes necesiten ayuda adicional, consulta la Guía Personal de Desastres en sdge.com/WildfirePrep.
o Rutas de evacuación: Familiarízate con las rutas de evacuación locales y ten un plan para saber a dónde ir si necesitas salir de casa rápidamente. Mantén el tanque de gasolina de tu vehículo al menos a la mitad o tu vehículo eléctrico con al menos media carga.
3. Arma un kit de emergencia
o Suministros esenciales: Prepara un kit con agua, alimentos no perecederos, medicamentos, linternas, baterías, radio y un botiquín de primeros auxilios. No olvides los suministros para tus mascotas.
o Documentos importantes: Guarda documentos personales en un contenedor resistente al agua y al fuego. Incluye pasaportes, actas de nacimiento, escrituras de propiedad y otras identificaciones.
4. Prepara tu hogar
o Medidas de seguridad: Sujeta muebles y aparatos domésticos pesados a las paredes para evitar que se caigan durante un terremoto. Revisa que los detectores de humo y monóxido de carbono tengan baterías nuevas; una buena práctica es cambiarlas cada seis meses. Asegúrate de saber dónde está tu extinguidor y cómo usarlo.
o Cierre de servicios: Enseña a tu familia cómo cerrar servicios como gas, agua y electricidad en caso de emergencia.
Tomar estas medidas puede ayudarte a aumentar tu seguridad y resiliencia ante desastres naturales. Recuerda que la preparación es un proceso continuo, y estar informado y listo puede marcar la diferencia. No esperes a que una emergencia te tome por sorpresa. Visita sdge.com/checklist para obtener consejos esenciales sobre cómo mantenerte preparado.

💃😂 ¡Zumba comunitaria versión “Centro de Locuras”!
Oscarin intenta seguir el ritmo, Lalo inventa sus propios pasos de flojera, Alejandro critica todo, y Marysol… bueno, Marysol cree que es la reina del fitness. 🌟
Al final, nadie bailó bien, pero todos nos reímos juntos. Porque aquí el movimiento es con el corazón (y mucho desorden). ❤️

🚲😂 En el Club de Bicis Comunitarias nada sale como debería… Oscarin quiere enseñar, Lalo quiere jugar y Alejandro solo quiere criticar. Al final, nadie aprendió a andar, pero todos aprendimos a reír. 💥

👉 En Lived Experiences no solo apoyamos a la comunidad, también hacemos historias reales con un toque de locura.

👉 Alejandro diciendo que en sus tiempos cargaban costales más grandes que Lalo.

💬 Moral de la historia: en nuestro centro comunitario hasta los pañales tienen sentido del humor. 💙

However, please note that space is limited to 64 people. Since many families have multiple children, we kindly ask that you limit the number of children you bring to help us serve more people.
