We may be celebrating differently this year, but you can still do something good for yourself, the Earth, and our local environment in Culver City. Make every day Earth Day! Check out these 30 “Isolutions” for Coronavirus at the Earth Day website.
2. Adult Protective Services
Adult Protective Services (APS) provides a system of in person response to reports of abuse and self-neglect about developmentally disabled adults, physically and mentally disabled adults, and the elderly who may be victims of abuse.
Elder Abuse Hotline Call: (877) 4R SENIORS or (877) 477-3646
If you are concerned that someone you care about may be the victim of abuse, don’t be silent. Report abuse to APS. Here are some signs that could indicate elder abuse:

Cluttered, filthy living environment
Unexplained or uncharacteristic in behavior
Unexplained sexually transmitted diseases
Unpaid bills, new credit cards and/or increased cash withdrawals
Harassment, coercion, intimidation, humiliation

4. West Los Angeles College Perimeter Roads and Paths Reopen
West Los Angeles College has notified the City that joggers, walkers, and bicycle riders may return to the campus perimeter. Please enjoy this community resource while practicing physical distancing: keep six-feet in between you and other people at all times.
5. Face Covering Guidance
Along with the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health, we advise members of the general public to use a clean non-medical face covering anytime they will be in contact with other people who are not household members, in public or private places. If you cannot maintain six feet of physical distance between yourself and others, you must wear a face covering.
Culver City and LA County residents are required to wear a face covering over your nose and mouth if you are working at, shopping at or visiting a grocery store, restaurant or other essential businesses.
We’ve received a few additional questions about face coverings. Please find questions and answers noted below:
Do I need to wear a face covering on a walk with my household members?
This is encouraged, but not required. If you cannot maintain the physical distance of 6 feet between your immediate family and others, face coverings become required.
Do I need to wear a face covering while running or biking?
This is encouraged, but not required. Please note, you should not be jogging, running or biking with individuals outside of your immediate family at this time. If you cannot maintain the physical distance of 6 feet between your immediate family and others, face coverings become required.
Do I need to wear a face covering when walking my dog around the block?
This is encouraged, but not required. If you cannot maintain the 6 feet of physical distance between you and others outside of your immediate family, this becomes required.
Do I need to wear a face covering while at the park with my family?
We urge you to stay home and limit your time in our parks. A face covering while at the park is encouraged, but not required. If you cannot maintain the 6 feet of physical distance between you and others outside of your immediate family, this becomes required.
