DMV Helps DRIVERS 70 AND OVER with Expiring Driver Licenses: 120-DAY EXTENSION
The DMV is providing a 120-day extension to Californians age 70 and older with a driver license that expires from March 1 to May 31, 2020. This action ensures this vulnerable group can avoid a DMV office visit during the COVID-19 pandemic. California law requires drivers age 70 and older to visit a DMV field office to renew their license but gives the DMV authority to issue extensions – no individual action required. Eligible drivers will receive a paper license extension in the mail. The expiration dates will reflect a minimum of 120 days before renewal is required. Around 860,000 seniors visit DMV offices every year for the required in-person license renewal. For more information, please visit: www.dmv.gov

BLOCK CAPTAIN PROGRAM
The Block Captains are reaching out to the residents within their zone to do wellness checks on older neighbors and residents needing special care. To date, all the wellness checks returned with no further assistance needed. The Block Captains will continue the wellness checks, with the support of the City staff until the LA County Public Health Safer-At-Home Order is lifted.

There are zones without Block Captains. To ensure wellness of the senior population in the areas of the community without Block Captains, Lead Block Captain Arlene and Gene Honbo are looking for temporary captains for coverage.
