[inaudible] thank you, and i want to thank everyone for attending the meeting and to get updated on the things we are doing good to keep our city resilience and also prepared and i want to say a big thanks to all of you that are working hard to make sure that the tens of thousands of Additional Visitors were having the next few weeks, what we just had, in open world and [inaudible] quite a few people in the city and we need to of course keep them all safe thank you for making sure that your roles are played out on everything from the streets to the events, to being ready and the responses. That is going to obviously help be helpful to both our economy but also to the people that are invited here. I also want to let you know that there is, and we are monitoring, a fire in moccasin in the areas that are close enough to our water facilities, upping hetch hetchy to pose a potential threat, so we do have a very large Something Like almost 900 acre wildfire thats going on good that has the potential of affecting so we moderate that. California fire is the incident command there in all the different agencies including the state, are there to respond and begin the attempts to fight this fire, but as you have readily known, many of our firefighters are often very difficult to stop and so weve wanted to make sure that the entire staff at moccasin and our Public Utilities commission are fully alerted. That their own safety is paramount and then the facilities that operate our water system are also being monitored as well. So we willi want to thank all the ages ago might be asked to respond including our own Fire Department and obviously, our controller and others who have focused in the past on the impact on past buyers near moccasin that therell be already as well to assist. I want to also again thank everybody for a continued effort to make sure our city is seismically safe. [background noise] im been saved by the bell. [laughing] that measures for example the third year we have the mandatory soft Story Building retrofit that are going on in i want to say thank you to all of the building owners in the city, to participate in this in making sure that our buildings, particularly, those that are wood frame seconds of the vulnerable in a seismic event are complying and doing everything they can to get to a higher level of resiliency. Of course, seismic actions continue to be on our mind for a variety of reasons that are part of todays agenda. I want to make sure that Everybody Knows that we are paying specific attention to the sinking and the tilting of 301 mission, and that given the number of conflicting viewpoints as to what is going on, i havei am organizing and have tasked our city administrator, as well as dbi, but also this department of Emergency Management, to colead a great group of experts that are, there are no contractual relationship to any of the of buildings under construction or buildings that have been constructed to give us as a city and the board of supervisors a independent transparent analysis of the Geotechnical Engineering challenges that might be associated with the sinking and the tilting. We will, for lack of a better phrase, get to the bottom, of making sure we understand much better not only what is going on and causing, but that we want to go well beyond the 301 Mission Building and take a look at established buildings, new buildings, those that are proposed and under design, and to match up with the best and higher level Safety Engineering that we may be required. We will of course, absorb those engineering reports that are currently under scrutiny as well as those that are being conducted by current owners and developers, but we will also add to that a good look at what is being done and what should be done and considered by all development and construction including our tjpa, our transit center, as well as those buildings that are being planned to be built in and around the Transbay Center as well. I want to thank naomi and and i had of time for leading this effort because there are a number of people whose confidence in their ownership and rentals are very shaken and we want to assure them that have the highest level of safety in the citys attention and i will make sure that that report comes directly to me. We will be finding opportunities once we start this process, we will take little time to meet with any and all residents of that area. This is a big area of cities investment and client neighborhood. So we want to make sure that everybody that weve invited to the area businesses as well as developers, and residents, are assured that the highest level of safety is being examined and also that the jurors in which to prevent further sinking and other aspects will be there. I say that in the context of seismic activity as well because the geographical area is already challenged being above mud, and so the techniques have to be examined in light of their performance, should there be a seismic event happening. So we are very well aware of that and need to have the highest level of safety regardless of what our current codes may provide. Going to code is one thing. But assuring a highest level of safety is got to be paramount and so thats what is going to be examined by this group. In fact, directed already the department of building inspection and the office of resiliency and recovery two and immediately amend a 30 year earthquake safety and Implementation Plan to really expedite the safety of new and existing highrise buildings and, again, with a very good focus on the geographic hazardous areas that are being underdeveloped underdeveloped. That could be more challenging in a seismic event. So that is going on. I want to also make sure that we know that the seismic events, because it is just the beginning of the month of october, of course, it is our month where we do a lot of both recognition and celebrations, but also repaired this with schoolkids, with our property owners, with all the agencies practicing and, of course, the really direction of our fleet week has been to really join with other agencies and federal government and State Government to exercise our ability to be better prepared in case of disaster. I want to thank all those that are working on the fleet week preparations because its no longer simply as operation. As all of you know. Its an opportunity to practice what all of our different agencies, the kinds of events that will challenge us and how we Work Together today can create the kind of relationships we need when an emergency hits. So i look at this obviously in total preparation for an event that will happen in our lifetime. Its not and if could it will happen and more of the predictions of the best signs indicate in the next 25 years. So if i can again, in every opportunity i have those of you in this room, please, be prepared. You and your families, you are number one responders and youre called upon to respond i cant have you worrying about your families by not taking care of them now and being part of a deliberate plan. Then, for those of us who have the opportunity to prepare our communities and our leaders with that opportunity now and practice it, and get them to sf 72. Org website for further preparation could introduce him to the agencies that were all working together on because i certainly think that if you gone to a Disaster Service worker training, if youre able to take some skill set training yourself, neighborhood leaders as well, we will all be for the better in recovering much quicker from a seismic event. Obviously, we may not be be able to prevent an event but we certainly can prevent a high degree of hurt from that event. So please do that and maybe three please make sure that those of you that work and respond to departments work on the continuity operations the bars they are obligated to understand and implement. I know that we have a lot of new employees coming aboard good this government of ours has gained a challenge of a good economy but with that comes the obligation that we train everybody to be the faster workers and disaster prepared along with all of our utility agencies that ought to be constantly practicing with us. So with that, i know we have as and has indicated, a very elaborate agenda. Lets get to it and have that exchange. Thank you. Thank you very much mr. Mayor. Dem conducted nearly a dozen exercises this past year in our mission to get San Francisco repaired and ready to respond to any disaster or significant events. They are aligned in my directors report, which was on the table that you could pick up. Im not one to go to every single one with you today, but i do want to highlight a couple. Last year during fleet week we did something called a rehearsal of concept or a rock drill. Where the department of defense work with us to test our disaster transportation and would just ask strategies. We learned from that a key lesson that we learned was that the last tactical mile was very important and we dont often exercise that. So the details of moving to the next stage of this kind of exercise is to exercise Community Points of distribution. Seed pods and we are doing an exercise with fleet week this coming year, see but exercise and folks are welcome to join us with that and i think well learn a lot from that. Youll hear more about details later on because that is an agenda item. The mayor also mentioned that we have done a lot of very successful things this year including super bowl l i know many of you were involved in the planning and preparation for that. That was not only a citywide planning effort, but it was a Regional Planning efforts. Working with all of our partners at the local, federal, and state levels and i think was incredibly successful could we had a huge turnout. It was better than i think anything we could have imagined and the possible negative things that might have happened, thank god, did not and i think a huge part of that was the effort we put into the kind of security we wanted. We wanted the event to be a safe family friend friendly event and it turned out it definitely was and it highlighted the bay area in San Francisco in particular, for the gorgeous part of the country that we are. This past summer we also partnered with the National Counterterrorism center, the department of homeland security, and the fbi 20s the San Francisco joint counterterrorism awareness workshop. This twoday workshop brought together local state and federal partners engaged artisans in discussion can recognize a best practices, and encouraging information sharing in the event of a complex terrorist events. This unfortunately as you know, listening to the news and reading the paper, is a challenge that is very much real that we need to be prepared and make sure the city is ready to respond. The last exercise the want to highlight this morning is our urban shield. Yellow command. Which test the regions ability to Work Together during a catastrophic event. This years scenario involve eight evan. 9 magnitude earthquake along the San Andreas Fault and Cyber Security attack on the Water Systems requiring Community Pots of distribution which again were doing an exercise next week, to be staged throughout the city and throughout the region. Other things we exercise this year and we also updated for of our plans. The winter storm and flood annex the Emergency Support function 15, which is the joint Information System and asked, the sunol meet annex and the Emergency Support function Outlook Health annex. So, we know that emergencies dont stop at the county line. Thats what work with our regional partners to make sure that we all owe each other by first name that we know the functions that we each perform. So that in the event of a large emergency we are not meeting each other for the first time during the emergency. We worked very collaboratively with our region and i want to thank all the city representatives here today who sit on the disaster counsel and also our partners in the community who are with us as we continue to be repaired and make sure San Francisco is ready to respond in the event of a major disaster. So that concludes my remarks. I hope you do beat my more detailed briefing because im very pleased with the work that my department has been able to accomplish this year. Ive got incredible staff who have worked very hard to keep us safe. The next item on our agenda is the fleet week briefing. Fleet week is coming up starting this next week. It is something that we all love to embrace. Its a great party for San Francisco but it is the mayor said, its also a wonderful time for us to have an educational experience and get to know our partners in the military. Francis smore planning and zoning are Public Information officer and director of external affairs will give the briefing. Good afternoon everybody and [inaudible] were excited about it.

This exercise will feature more than 100 volunteers and many of the staff are coming from the departments representing in this room but also within our partners in the military and california [inaudible] as well as some nonprofit partners as well. Volunteer members in the community [inaudible] players earthquake disaster that can drive their vehicles to see but since he seek water, still other comfort supplies and get through the major catastrophic events. If you have an opportunity to come out we incurred you to do so. The key thing that people should remember about a seed pod is that they are a last resort measure. If regular means of getting water or food are unavailable, then the seed pods will be set up. This is why its so important everyone in the community has at least 72 hours worth of supplies at home. These are things that we find every day inhome was just a matter of gathering them up and having them in place. If you need help doing that go to sf 72. Org. Youll find civil tips to do that.
