When the siren system is activated with the high - low - high -
low - high - low - high - low - high – low signal you should:
• Go indoors; shut all windows and doors; turn off the air

by the situation through the use of police road blocks or
barricades.

AVOID TEXTING WHILE
DRIVING
• Make a habit of thinking about what calls
or texts you need to send before you begin
your trip. Before you start the car, take a
moment to think about what information you
might need during your trip.
• The idea of a designated driver has caught on
for drunk driving, and choosing a substitute
can be just as useful for distracted driving.
Select a friend to be your designated texter
while you’re behind the wheel.
• Place your phone somewhere you can’t peek
at it. Try putting it in the glove compartment
(lock it if you must) or inside a purse in the
back seat.
• Silence notifications that tempt you to check
your phone.
• Investigate apps that will help boost your
willpower. There are several types of apps
on the market, some of them free, that allow
you to block incoming messages or send
automatic responses to let your friends know
you’re driving.
• Practice patience. Consider whether it’s
worth risking your safety—and that of others
in your car and on the road—to read a text
while driving. Wait until you’ve reached your
destination.
• Make a promise. If you are a person of your
word, consider signing the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s pledge against
distracted driving. Seeing your name on the
pledge could help you keep your thumbs off
the phone.
• If you absolutely cannot wait, pull over when
you can do so safely because swerving to
the side of a busy highway is never a good
option. If you are driving on a road with safe
places to pull over, use them to stop and text.

• Teach children water safety and swimming skills as early as
possible.
• Always brief babysitters on water safety and emphasize the
need for constant supervision.
• Appoint a “designated watcher” to monitor children during
social gatherings at or near pools.
• Equip doors and windows that exit to a pool area with alarms.
• Install a poolside phone, preferably a cordless model, with
emergency numbers programmed into speed-dial.
• Post CPR instructions, learn the procedures or become
certified if possible.
• Keep rescue equipment poolside. Don’t wait for the
paramedics to arrive because you will lose valuable life-
saving seconds. Four to six minutes without oxygen can
cause permanent brain damage or death.
• Keep a first aid kit poolside.
• Install four-sided isolation fencing, at least five feet high,
equipped with self-closing and self-latching gates, that
completely surrounds the pool and prevents direct access
from the house and yard.
• Maintain constant visual contact with children in a pool or
pool area. If a child is missing, check the pool first; seconds
count in preventing death or disability.
• Don’t use flotation devices as a substitute for supervision.
Never allow a young child in a pool without an adult.
• Don’t leave objects such as toys that might attract a child in
the pool and pool area.
• Never prop the gate to a pool area open.
• Don’t rely on swimming lessons, life preservers, or other
equipment to make a child “water safe.”
• Never assume someone else is watching a child in a pool area.
• Don’t leave chairs or other items of furniture where a child
could use them to climb into a fenced pool area.
• Don’t assume you’ll hear a child who’s in trouble in the water;
children drowning can be a silent death and they might not
splash to alert you or other bystanders.

SKATING AND HEELYS SAFETY
• All skateboarders and scooter-riders should wear
protective gear. Helmets are particularly important
for preventing and minimizing head injuries. Riders
should wear helmets that meet American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) or other approved safety
standards and that are specifically designed to reduce
the effects of skating hazards.
• Communities should continue to develop skateboard
parks, which are more likely to be monitored for safety
than ramps and jumps constructed by children at home.
• While in-line skating or using Heelys, only skate on
designated paths or rinks and not in the street.
• Most injuries occur due to falls. Inexperienced riders
should only ride as fast as they can comfortably slow
down, and they should practice falling on grass or other
soft surfaces. Before riding, skateboarders should survey
the riding terrain for obstacles such as potholes, rocks,
or any debris. Protective wrist, elbow and kneepads
should be worn.
• Children should never ride skateboards or scooters in or
near moving traffic.
• Riders should never skate alone. Children under the age
of eight should be closely supervised at all times.

You pick where, you pick how.Dear Citizens and Friends of Texas City:
As we kick off 2020, this will be the last letter I will be writing to you as your Mayor. It has been my
distinct honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Texas City for the past twenty years — sixteen of
those as your Mayor. I want to thank each and every one of you for allowing me the opportunity to
serve this great City. It will be one of the fondest memories of my life.
I also want to thank the men and women with whom I have worked that also serve all the citizens and
families of Texas City. There is no finer or more conscientious group of people taking care of any city
in, not only this State, but these United States.
You have an exciting year ahead of you and a very bright future for Texas City. We have a wonderful
path to growth and an immense opportunity for our young people with our remarkable industrial
base and all the other service and business opportunities that our great City has to offer over the
next decade.
I want to call your attention to a few projects that have recently been completed or will be
completing in my final days as Mayor.
One of these is the Lagoon at Lago Mar. This will be a great tourist attraction for our City, and I
Mayor cannot wait to see its success.
Matthew T. Doyle Another is the African-American Cultural Park. If you have not visited this park, you need to take the
time to do so. It is a great celebration of the diversity and history of the City of Texas City.

2022 and early 2023.
Wishing you and your family a
