Keep your dogs on a leash and don't leave your small animals outside, unattended.
With the drought, natural prey animals (rats & gophers) are more scarce, so expect more daytime coyote sightings. But then it's not unusual to see coyotes in the daytime in our neighborhood. I also think the proliferation of urban chicken farming in our area draws coyotes into more backyards.
Hey Silver Lake Neighborhood Council: maybe you should declare the 2 Freeway parkways a coyote reserve so CalTrans won't tear out all the trees to build a giant sound wall between Oak Glen & Rosebud on Allesandro St. (That's why we don't have a bigger meadow at the Silver Lake Reservoir.)
