When you have a heat wave, you like sit it out. Unfortunately, with this last experience it reached temperature levels as well as resulted in a couple of individuals passing away. So, talking to the system, you know, and i was not quite sure but i think we were talking about maybe a heat alert system as well. I dont know if that falls in categorically in this department, but duty officer, is that duty officer at e. M. S. . On the deck, or how does that work . We have the duty officer is at the u. S. C. And so its very close proximity to our dispatch center. Every day from 7 00 to 4 00 a. M. , or actually activated at you know, a warm level one, and so we have the Operations Section active every day, and then its a 24 7 duty officer program. Like last night duty officerer sent out 2, 3 notifications, and i did the other night about a power outage. And then just in terms of the heat and Public Health, i mean, we certainly work with department of Public Health if there is, you know, a hea
We have tsunami preparedness month and walk coming up in march that we would love your participation. Commissioner veronese tsunami walk. Exciting. Anthony rivera operations, we knew we had time when we were first alerted, we did notify the assistant chiefs. We have our plan in place.

We have a plan in place. But they did their job that night and they do do a good job and thank you. Commissioner veronese im not saying you didnt do your job. Im saying as a membe
We have come up with, the department has come up with, this is not us, the department has come up with it and some of it is our input, we have things on there thats absolutely necessary for the city. A lot of the stations are rundown. The firefighters who live there love them dearly but a lot of them are run down. A lot of the trucks are breaking down and through the leadership of this commission, you guys did a great job of being the squeaky wheel before i got here to make sure we get more people and more rigs but the reason it happened is because you spoke out, not because you rubberstamped a budget and thats your job and you guys did a great job of doing that. But there is more to be done for this department. As we saw from department of Emergency Management, we play a key role in making sure that this city doesnt fall apart when theres an emergency. A key role, and frankly, we need a lot more money to do that to our absolute best. And thats just my opinion and some of these things
