Calling 911 is Safe
If you or your loved one is experiencing symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, please call 911 immediately. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Redmond has seen a 29% decrease in calls for heart-related illness and a 33% increase in deaths at home. Calling 911 for an emergency and fire response is safe and so are hospitals. Here are some additional safety tips:
Public Health - Seattle & King County issued a new health directive that strongly urges residents to wear a cloth face covering in indoor public spaces or confined spaces where it could be difficult to maintain six feet of physical distancing. Help protect our community against the spread of COVID-19.
May 17 – 23 is national Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week, a time to recognize the lifesaving work of EMS professionals who have been on the front line of the COVID-19 crisis since the beginning. This EMS week, continue to do your part to save lives by following public health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Thank you to our Redmond Public Works staff who are essential employees and have continued to maintain 185 miles of safe roadways and 229 miles of sewer lines, provide healthy drinking water, support police and fire emergency response, and protect the environment.
Share Your Thoughts About Temporary Construction Dewatering
Temporary construction dewatering (TCD) lowers groundwater to build underground structures in compact development zones. This can impact water production from wells, which provide 40% of Redmond’s drinking water. Please complete a feedback questionnaire on the goals considered for analysis of TCD.
