Good morning. We are going to call the meeting to order. I would like to thank everyone for coming today. This is our first Disaster Council meeting of this fiscal year. I would like to introduce or Mayors Office chief of staff. Good morning. I want to thank you for your continued dedication to the council, all of your work with this. Chief scott was saying to me some of the effort we have done to prepare for Power Outages might have helped us this morning. You never know. It is not a question of if, it is a question of when. We know this work is very important, and thank you for that. Thank you. I will give just a brief update on the two, one incident and one activity today. There was a power outage this morning around 8 00 a. M. It was a thirdparty contractor struck a primary transmission line in the mission bay area. Initial reports of over 22000 customers were affected. As of 11 00 a. M. , almost everyone is restored. There are still 1,800 folks without power. We continue to coordinate on this. As most folks know we have been preparing for Power Outages as a result of ps Public Safety power shutoff program. We were able to activate the instant Management Team in a few minutes after the power outage was reported, and very quickly all city departments, but in particular dph looking at the hospital facilities, Public Safety, transportation for m. T. A. We were able to do a very Rapid Assessment of the situation and report out. We are happy it was resolved quickly and we will continue preparedness activities in this area. Right now we have a planned youth climate strike that started early this morning. They gathered at the sf federal building, civic center. They will end at the embarcadero. Everything is going fine with that right now. For our second agenda special presentation, we have had a chance due to some scheduling changes we are postponing that to the next meeting in december. We will move onto our report on Emergency Planning initiatives. Because fleet week is just a few short weeks away, we will focus on the fleet week activities. For many people they wonder why we would be talking about fleet week at Disaster Council. For those not aware fleet week is more than blue angels and ships. We spend most of the year planning for training and exercises that occurs during fleet week. We started working on this in january of last year. This year is work focuses on debris management and route reopening. While testing our recently completed disaster debris Management Plan which is an example, held up as great example of very excellent plan to deal with debris management. Jill will talk about the exercise in a few minutes. I want to thank public works, in particular, for your partner ship on the degree Management Plan. Debris management is critical and it is tied closely with route reopening and something we need to be able to begin doing our response work after a seismic event so thank you. Of course, i want to thank mire k my staff for the plan and the exercises to test the plan. Plans are use less if you dont take them out and exercise and test them. We are very happy to do that this week. I would like to invite the fleet Week Association executive director to talk what is planned this year during fleet week. Please use the microphones. This is televised. We want everyone watching it to hear everything you have to say. Thank you for having me. Fleet week, we all know what it is, right . It is big, loud. There are a lot of sailors and marines that come into town. San francisco despite what a lot of people think in other parts of nation, San Francisco and san franciscans love the visiting military. You see bidding wars in bars and restaurants who is going to buy the sailor a drink or meal. San francisco does this in such a proud way. We should be proud of San Francisco fleet because we remade it in 2010. It is the model fleet week for the entire nation. I will talk about that as i go through. I want to be quick. You have a big meeting here. Fleet week we organize based on what are we doing for the trips . What are we doing for the community . What are we doing for the mission of the center for humanitarian assistance . That is all part of fleet week where our partnership with the department of Emergency Management and the rest of the city comes into play. As far as troops this year, we will have nearly 2000 sailors, marines and coasties. There is a demonstration from the United States air force f35, the most sophisticated jet in the world. If you can get out to the airshow to see that that is something else, the Technology Behind this aircraft. Of course, we have the blue angels and the other aircraft in the airshow. I am not allowed to say what ship is coming this year. I can assure you when you see what ship shows up. Say that three times fast. When the ship comes in, it has an amazing tribute to San Francisco and the bay area specifically. The navy is sending it because it is a very moving tribute to some recent history. Maybe i am kind of like you can reverse engineer that and probably figure out what ship it is. We have nearly 2000 troops coming in. We have a lot of activities for them, police and Fire Department and olympic club. We have an annual softball tournament and reach out to the veteran team of the mixed nuts youngest 72 and oldest 92. They are incredible. They will come in for the softball tournament. We do an iconic photo the troops have. So many things for the troops. For community we have so many events. On the marina green is show center for the blue angels and f35. Every year we set up humanitarian assistance village, a chance for the marines, sailors and army to show their capabilities are in humanitarian assistance. The entire First Responder community is out there with command vehicles. Chief, i dont know if the ambulance bus is coming out this year. I am working on the plan right now. I will get back to you. That is a popular thing to see. We have asem Education Center where people can learn about the science and Technology Behind so many things. Last year we did neighborhoods throughout San Francisco. You will see concerts in west portal, the bayview. Every district, if you will, will have a concert taking place. If i could give you a couple of my favorites relative to the community and troops atlarge, we have an honor our fallen concert at the Sf Jazz Center on wednesday evening of fleet week. That is october 9th. It is a free concert. We invite the community to come out. Every year the United States marimarine corps band comes o. We would like to show support for that tribute concert. We are going to bring a 40 piece marine corps band to city hall on thursday, the 11th, for a half hour lunch concert. When you feel the walls shaking here, you know what is happening. It is not the airshow, just the band. We are doing things like that. Also this year on pier 3032 where the flagship is tied up, on friday, october 11th, we are going to do a welcome heros concert at the pier. I cant tell you elaine your staff is fabulous to get this organized. There will be a food truck jamboree, a lot of interactive displays and concerts. The friday concert is welcome heroes 5 00 to 9 00. We would love to get as Many Community members out to that as well. On saturday and sunday that pier is activated for fleet fest. The last time a ship like this came in there were 17,000 visitors over the weekend. Now there is something to do out at the pier other than standing in line and waiting in the sun. If you go to the website, you can see all of the programs that we have. Last year we did 54 events. If you were an events planning company, each one could be considered a major event. Of course, we have the center for humanitarian assistance. We do a lot of things under that umbrella. One of the things on monday of fleet week is columbus day, italian heritage day. We have a High School Band challenge at the Golden Gate Park band shell. We will have eight marching bands, marine corps band will play. They play in front of an audience of judges. Following their performances the judges come back with the results and the first place band gets 10,000 for the High School Music program. We are trying to save the High School Music programs. They can use the money for instruments, kids that cant afford them, uniforms, band instructors. Regardless of where you place, every band that shows you will gets some prize money. That is the last thing on monday morning at the park. All events for fleet week are free. The keystone to the center of humanitarian assistance programs are the peer to peer medical exchanges and the sls a day and a half program. Speaker in the past have included the secretary of energy. A couple of years ago we had the Film Festival documentary on syria. He talked to veterans what he learn from the bestselling book dealing with posttraumatic stress. This year we talk about the debris management exercise and cyber security. We have the Deputy Director of Cyber Command and how do you thread that into what local and state governments need to look out for . It is a huge program. The second day of that program we will talk about Sea Level Rise and how that affects National Security and then tethers back no fire season. There is always a fire in california. We will call more and more on our military to augment the forces on the fire line. I will turn it over to july. We hope you will come to fleet week and honor our fallen concert are all fabulous and worth your while. Thank you for your time. Good morning. This is our fleet Week Exercise Program really busy time of year. We started this work in january. I wanted to give a really big welcome and thank you to cynthia. I asked her to do this presentation with me. As a gift i am doing it for both of us. She has known the city for many years. When i started 15 years ago she was a mentor and now a friend. This is a demled exercise program. My team with lonnie and andrea, we dont do these on our own. Cynthia is a big part. I want to thank elaine from the port of San Francisco. Most of the meetings and exercises are held on the port. We thank you for letting us use that space and exercise on that space. Thank you. Mary ellen mentioned the disaster debris Management Plan. It is good. There are a lot of tables in it. The Governors Office of Emergency Services told us this is a best practice in debris plan. We talked throughout the nation and this is a plan a lot of folks are looking to. Up in front is the exercise program of events. The big number i would like all of us to understand. We will have potentially 10 milliontons of debris following the earthquake. That is a hard number so we did math through the work of ed shafer that is 280 football fields eight stories high. I am not a football plan. Lonnie nelson put it into a measuring scope. It is 52 towers. That is a lot. The sales force is a huge building. This plan and the route reopening plan. With this much debris we are not moving it out of the city right away. The way the plan is written is in phases. On tuesday we tested the middle phase of the plan. So if we look on here, the incident occurs. The lark earthquake happens and the large earthquake happens and we know this will quickly go into restoration and recovery plan. On tuesday of this week we activated our local Debris Management Task force. They will be sitting at the public works doc, but what we learned if we dont understand what the state and feds are dues at their Task Force Level it is challenging to coordinate. We have the opportunity to have those activated. This is like yesterday with the state and federal fuel task force. This work is just so large. This is a photo from tuesday. This is the fifth exercise of the series. If you look on the that side of the table the further sealed you folks in military uniforms our side we have the m. T. A. Public works we have got p. U. C. , the Treasure Island development authority. That island will need creative solutions. For cynthia and i and james, the state and feds have ideas. It is important to tell them what help we need. Quickly to go through the exercises. Cynthia started planning in january doing workshops around what this very large robust plan where dpw is at the helm. She worked with her staff to explain the plan and concepts at that level. Then we moved to table topping it. We integrated lonnie hate lee nelson to look at how those plans support one another. The debris Management Plan will be us for years. It sets up different constructs. Next week we move to resource request drill with five port authorities in the bay area as well as Different Office of Emergency Operations centers. We are testing the low field level. Next tuesday i am assuming most of the docs will send requests to the Emergency Operations center. If we cannot fill them in the city. We will send them to the state Operations Center activated. This is to time out how we are getting the resources, asking for them. When they get to the state level we are not the only Operational Area impacted in this type of disaster. At the state Operation Center how do they look at resource requests and figure out humpings what when . On the seventh, the monday, we will activate a command post at pier 27. We will have the San FranciscoPublic Works DepartmentOperations Center activated as well as parts of the Emergency Operations center. At pier 27 we have a display of various local, state, private sector. It is important as folks that dont work at public works to understand how large a lot of this equipment is. As it comes in we need to find a place to stage it and care for the folks operating this mission. Any questions . Mary ellen will lead a panel about the exercise and then the general civil authority. How the military comes in to support us in this debris work. I appreciate all of the hard work you have done, and i want to say to lewis i appreciate the partnership San Francisco has with fleet Week Association. To my colleagues here, i really want to urge you to participate and for your staff participating in the exercise, that is great. We really encourage policy level folks to participate in the senior leaderssem nash where we talk about this. Debris removal is critical to anything we do. Everyone needs a good understanding much the magnitude of the program and you are incorporating this debris remove into your own plans. If you dont, we want to make sure you understand timing and what you can execute and when. At this time is public may address the Disaster Council for up to three minutes on item that have been discussed now. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, we will move on. I wanted to add to lewis presentation that on october 13th it will be 244th anniversary of the navy. They have asked us to host an Interfaith Service and that is up at the main post chapel where our offices are abwe extend an invitation. It is prior to the italian heritage day festival and parade. Thanks, michael. We are going to move to preparedness section. Status update for urban Areas Security Initiative regional training and exercises program. Good morning members. For those who might not be familiar with the bay area, it is a program funded by Homeland Security department. The bay area uasi has a footprint from monterey to the wine country of sonoma and napa. It encompasses San Francisco and oakland and san jose. We have 12 counties in the footprint, three major metropolitan cities, 8,000 square miles. 8 million in population, the second largest in california, la is first. In the nation we are fifth. We receive the allocation. Number one is new york, two los angeles, three chicago, four washington, d. C. , we are five. We are second highest population density. Number one is new york city. We are governed by the Approval Authority. It is an 11 member board. Mary ellen chairs the meeting. We have chief cochran, a member of the Approval Authority. It is also governed by a master m. O. U. And by law. The Approval Authority acts as the urban area working group, it is mandated by the grant. The members comprised of representatives around the bay area. They review and approve the applications and expenditures. It requires a nexus to terrorism. The training and exercise program encompasses Law Enforcement, fire, has met, ems, Public Health, Emergency Management. Since 2010 we so farred over 140 training courses conducted per year. We trained more than 45,000 students. We had more than 30,000 registered participants. In 2011 Alameda County administered the program, and then at the Approval Authority in march of 2019 they withdrew as the administrator of the program. San francisco is the fiscal agent. In nulling they issued an r. F. P. For a training and exercise program or add mir. We are reviewing the applications and proposals submitted. At the meeting on november 8th we will select the administrator of the regional program. I will introduce janel, our program manager. She is going to discuss the reallocation of the 2018 funds and the process moving forward. Good morning. I am the regional programming manager for the bay area uasi. As craig discussed the training and exercise program is being we are looking for a new ad more. Our vision is to to look at not only sustaining the Public SafetyTraining Numbers but include Community Preparedness in this effort and working with those organizations to Reach Community members. There was a onetime reallocation of funds from the withdrawal from administering the program. The bay area chose to wherever possible continue to support training efforts. This reallocation of funds how that worked out you can see over 3 million reallocated to the bay area. We work in four hubs. Each received 812,000. San francisco and san mateo counties are the west bay hub. Each of those jurisdictions got 406,000. In San Francisco you can see we divided it through dem through the four different agencies. Dem Community Preparedness training is executed. There is a sheriff k9 security transportation trailer that was requested that is going to be funded. Fire is using 135 to execute some training to programs and then sfpd will continue with the Public Safety training courses they were planning and executing themselves. That is how the allocation of funds has gone. What we are doing, as craig mentioned. We have an r. F. P. Out and done the minimum qualifications. The new ad more will be decided at the november meeting, the approval meeting. We are working to Community Preparedness to the Training Program from there. Are there any questions or comments from any members of the council on this . I would like to open it up to Public Comment. I am sorry. We have an open forum. If you are interested in the program go to our website. We had a kickoff in Alameda County in week. The criteria are how to reach out. Thank you. If it is helpful for folks this program was the program that urban shield was part of. Alameda pulled out of that. That is why this is so basically urban shield doesnt exist this is to find a new ad more and recreate the training and exercise program for you. Any other comments or questions . Any Public Comment on this item . All right. Thank you. Now we are moving to Emergency Response. We are going to talk about mutual aid. I have a few comments. Since the Disaster Council last met we deployed one staff member who is over here. She helped the Public Information response to the gilroy shooting. She was there for five days, reported immediately after the event and really provided Incredible Service to the folks down there helping with not only Public Information but supporting there family reunification. It was a very intense experience. It underlines the need and our desire to be available and able to deploy. One thing we are refining our plans should we have an event like that which we hope we never do, but the experience and what kind of work and challenges are hopeful. I want to remind my colleagues to deplo they need prepared. There is a credentialing program. We had a request to deplay to Hurricane Dorian in the south. It didnt hit florida. We were challenged to put together a team and continue to identify staff in all dents. That will be available to deploy. When it happens here we will depend on our partners to come to us, also. Wildfire season is here. We continue to prepare for possible Public Safety power shutoffs. We have done three workshops since june. One was in city, one was with our external partners and regional worksion. We are come piling all of the data from those workshops that give us a better picture of consequence. Final worksion is going to be held next wednesday, septembe september 25th. They will answer your questions. Invitations have gone out. We hope to have good presentations there. We are still in fire season. We had the air quality event in november last year. We will not relax until the rain really starts. We appreciate everyone being ready if we need to respond. That is all i have to say. Are there any questions or comments about mutual aid or response . Good morning. Mike cochran home land security. Fire department has k9 unit. There are three members available for local, post disaster or emergency. They are typed to California Task force three, which is fema based. One member was dispatched to Hurricane Dorian. They staged there. Thethey have worked at other hurricanes and they are available, too. Thank you. Any Public Comment on this item . We will move to resilienc to mod recovery. Good morning. I am here today to explain some of the events the city is planning for the loma prieta anniversary. There are three major components. First is an event around the great shakeout. The 2019 great shakeout is based off the states largest earthquake drill call the great california shakeout. This year it normally is the third thursday of every october. This year it falls on the same day as the loma prieta earthquake anniversary. We are tieing everything together to ensure the public and residents are truly prepared for earthquakes both in hindsight and then moving forward to continue to remember that to drop, cover and hold on is the best way to respond to a earthquake. We will host an event along with the mayor and fire chief. We will be attending a local school and doing drop cover and hold on with that school. We are looking forward to working with the School District and the children in the school to promote this event. Something to note. This is truly the biggest earthquake drill throughout california. We encourage everyone no matter where you are to use this day october 17th to practice earthquake response, to drop, cover, hold on. The great california shakeout correspondence the date with the time. This is 10 17. At 10 17 a. M. Is when we encourage everyone to drop under the desk, take comp, cover your head and neck and hold on until the shaking stops. We encourage everyone to participate wherever you are in San Francisco. The second big component on october 17th is a communitybased event. We will host an event in the marina on the marina green. It is going to do different theirs. Could them arraignment those who died in 1989. It is to honor those lieu risk their lives to protect survivors, especially First Responders. It is a chance to highlight what the city is doing since 1989 to betterrebetter invest and showce initiatives that have been implemented by the city and county. This is being planned for the afternoon of october 17th on the marina green. There will be a short speaking Program Including the mayor and elected officials to highlight those components i mentioned. It will incorporate a display of the equipment and apparatus. We want to highlight the Fire Department because in 1989 it was volunteers at the San FranciscoFire Department who saved the marina. They were able to bring out the hose tenders to fight the fires in the marina resulting from the 1989 earthquake. We are looking forward to displaying that as well. Third is a resource fair. Public agencies, Community Based organizations that set up and communicate resources and information about earthquake response, preparedness and information we can highlight what we have done since 1989 but give the Public Resources and information to help them be more resilient. The last event is we are intending to do a wireless emergency alertsem test. That is singular to the amber alerts on your phone. This will be if the first time San Francisco is conducting this test. The purpose is twofold. One to test the system and make sure that the systems that we have in place will work as intended. The second component is to promote earthquake resiliency information. We are capitalizing on the 30 Year Anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake to remind people. Thened text of the message the anticipated test will as knowledge the 30 Year Anniversary of the earthquake and direct residents to sf72. Org which is our communitys website that includes information and resources for earthquake preparedness. We will include a stakeholder caught to ensure that everyone is aware. We are putting together a Public Outreach champagne to beep sure the public can anticipate this and hopefully will go to sf72 to be prepared. Those are the events we are planning. I am happy to take any questions. Who is organizing the resource fairs . Yes, thank you for bringing that up. The Mayors Office is coordinating. We are holding an Inter Department mental planning meeting last week. Please look out for that invitation from the Mayors Office. Thank you for bringing that up. [ inaudible ] we have heard from our neighbor in the fast couple months about how much the events and how much the last 30 years mean to them. We appreciate this and look forward to working together. Thanks. Thank you. It would be a great opportunity to talk about what the city has done since loma prieta. We have financed 20 billion to retrofit and upgrade our public assets, built no hospitals, fire stations, police stations, water system improvement project. 12 billion in projects have been completed. 8 billion are underway including the sea wall. That is not including the private assets that have been seismically retrofitted not including caltrans and other projects. I dont know if you want to add more, brian. No, i dont think there is more to add. It is probably and i think it is safe to say that since the 2006 earthquake we have never invested larger amounts of money in infrastructure in 30 years. The past 10 years alone are impressive. It is showing up allaround the city as you drive through. Everything from the Veterans War Memorial building and this building and all around. We want to make that part of the discussion that happens there. We talk about the work we have to do. We want to say thanks to the citizens that we have been able to get the funding to make it all happen. Thank you. Probably the most common question i have been asked over the last six weeks. This happens before the earthquake anniversary how much better prepared are we than we were 30 years ago . The answer is much better prepared. That is in great part to the folks here but also the people of San Francisco who have supported all of this work. However, that doe does not meant we can sit back and think everything is okay. These opportunities are helpful and we want to encourage everyone to stay on their toes here and remember it is important if you can prepare, take some measures that you do so. There are many members of the community that arent able to do that. If we can it makes it more important that we make plans and connect with our neighbors and organize ourselves and think through what an earthquake looks like so the city can be reaching out to those most vulnerable. Thank you. Any Public Comment on this item . Okay. Seeing none we are moving to the Disaster Council round table. This is an opportunity for any member of the Disaster Council to make announcements, comments. Yes. Thank you, mary ellen. I want people to know we are working with the Department Safety officers to issue wildfire smoke guidance for City Employees. If there is wildfire smoke problem we dont want outside workers to be sent home while people at the pc have to work. We want City Employees treated equally for the same conditions. The state of california issued wordy and hard to understand document which we are obligated to give to employees, some of whom may not have a masters in industrial hygiene. We are working on a nice chart to go with it which we will issue so people would be able to read it that will go out on monday. We are working with our Department Safety experts on heat guidance. There are no regulations other than general duty for people to be safe. The state is developing heat guidance. We dont want to wait for that. What we are doing is developing a Standard Approach for the city and then if we have to amend it when the state issues it, we will do that. Basically we are addressing not only outdoor workers, at what level do they need to be inside. At a certain point particularly if there is a power shut off we look at a loss of air can being. At what point would it make sense for people to not to continue to work. We want to make sure someone in the controller is treated just the same in those circumstances. We will issue that heat guidance within the next couple weeks. It may have to be reissued once the state gets its act together. We hope is more easily read for distribution. We dont meet until december. We are heading to the hottest heat and wildfire time right now. Sf72. Org has the air quality tool kit, Great Research is there if you need it. Anyone else. Michael. I want to report on an even. As many of you know over the last year andahalf there are tragic terror attacks on houses of worship. Synagogues and mosques in new zealand. Following each one of these terrorist attacks the San Francisco inner Faith Council would host vigils. At each one the mayor would come and the mon trawas that people should the mantra was that people should feel safe when they worship. What are we doing . What emerged was a collaboration of the federal bureau of investigation, all branches of Law Enforcement working with the department of Emergency Management and Public Health as well as Jewish Community relations council, Human Rights Commission and other advocacy groups. On september 9th we held a high level convening at which 300 were present be on security and houses of worship. The mayor was there and inspired us. I want to thank mary ellen because she was on the panel and i want to thank the chief because he was on a pap el. It is sad we have these but i sleep better at night knowing we have done our Due Diligence we will have a debrief with nose who participated to see if we he can keep these lines of communication open. We have never been at the same table before. We see want to make sure we are doing our part. Thank you. Derek from supervisor browns office. The discussion brought up an issue that is important to supervisor brown. District five for the last 17years has been the host of blue grass which is one of the most loved institutions. What was troubling to her was the announcement that event is going to be fenced for the first sometime. First first time. Can the chief speak to the council about what sort of changes the public can expect to see at the event and outreach to the public. It is a major change for families living in the world we are living in today. I will make an announcement. I want to announce that deputy chief is taking over the special operations borough which until she has oversight over the Tactical Unit including the swat team, traffic company, all of our motorcycle officers and department Operations Center. I will turn this over to the deputy chief. She has been involved in those conversations. Thank you, chief. We met a couple weeks ago with the organizers. We laid out what we thought. I mean we are in a different age. We have had a lot every sent mass casualty events, and we laid out a pretty thorough security plan for them, and they adopted some of it. You will see some fencing. You will not see the large seating, not see the large coolers of past. If they show up they will be allowed in but subject to search. It is a new normal, but they took some of our suggestions and kind of made it work for the type o of event they host. You can still bring your alcohol in. You can bring in just about everything you did of the past. No kegs. They were brought in routinely in the past. Large like i said large coolers was a concern for us. You can put weapons in a larger cooler. Smaller coolers, clear backpackings. Nothing will be turned away. It will be subject to search which it wasnt in the past. It is not 100 . If you go to outside lands you are thoroughly searched. One other thing. I was a Police Officer in 1989 directing traffic pat battery and market when this occurred. It was chaos. I worked three days straight. It is interesting. This is fantastic we are sitting here gearing up for the next one. It is going to happen. We did a good job in 1989. We will do a better job if it happens again. Thank you. I think with the fansing there are four points of entry. Four entry points whereas in the past you could walk through the bushes. Now you will be directed to an entry point to look at, not thoroughly searched. It is a new normal and they are adopting the things we advised. Jeff with the San Francisco international airport. Two quick updates to share. August 30th the airport conducted a hotel, active shooter exercise. We employed all of Law Enforcement and the different Emergency Response agencies. Good exercise. We are doing the debrief today. When i hear about the Lessons Learned i will be happy to share them with this group. Other thing i wanted to mention october 2nd annual emergency exercise at the airport. We will have a lot of volunteers that will be participating in that. Anyone that is interested from this group that would like to participate or be an observer you are certainly welcome to do that. Anything else to say about the construction at the airport, jeff . I cant dodge that one. It is a good news story. I will call it it started off with distorted reporting. It was a nine month planning process that led to the construction on september 7th. It was slated to last until the 27th. The reality is there was a l
