For everyone, for our lowincome families and seniors, to our middleincome residents, to our teachers. We know that Housing Affordability is critical to the success of our city, and im grateful to the board of supervisors for passing that ballot measure, and i am hopeful with fingers crossed that the voters will support that, and we are putting forward that housing bond without raising property taxes again, so i just want to say that over and over and over again. [applause] the hon. London breed so today, we have another opportunity. Today, we are signing the legislation to put a 628 million bond on the ballot to help with our emergency facilities all over San Francisco, and we are also doing that without raising property taxes. [applause] the hon. London breed the goal is to put this on the march ballot, and so were going to have to work hard to get voters to approve this one, as well. I just want to start by that i thinking naomi kelly, and the work of the Capital Planning committee. Because of the work of the Capital Planning committee over the years, weve been able to have a very wellthoughtout plan for investing dollars in facilities that the city owns, especially our Public Safety facilities. And in 2010 and in 2014, voters passed these bonds without raising property taxes but with almost 80 of the vote to support rehabilitating facilities all over San Francisco. And just this year, i was really excited about cutting the ribbon on station 5, which is my home station, where i used to get my toys as a firefighter. Our firefighters and our police officers, fixing our buildings and making sure that they can sustain an earthquake is so critical to protecting the lives of our citizens. In fact we are all reminded from last week, the major earthquake that happened in Southern California and the devastating impact it had on that community, we are reminded that we have to be prepared. Its not about if, its about when a disaster strikes. So what are we going to do to make sure that our Public Safety personnel can focus on the work that they need to do to save lives and not necessarily the challenge that exist with the buildings that house them and what could happen to people that we need to shelter in a disaster. Kezar pavilion is not seismically safe. It is one of the facilities that could qualify for additional revenues so that if necessary, we can use that as a shelter facility in case a disaster hits. We have to be thinking ahead in not only repairing the buildings that we know need to be repaired, like park station, which is currently undergoing some renovations like police and fire stations and Public Safety buildings, and 911 buildings where we send our dispatchers, all of these places matter, so when a disaster hits, their only focus is on saving lives of the citizens of San Francisco and not worrying about the condition of their buildings and whether or not theyre in a bad place themselves. So today, we are announcing a 628 million Public Safety beyond for earthquake safety and Emergency Response for the march ballot, as i said. And i am just so excited and so proud of the work that we did collaborating with the board, collaborating with the Capital Planning committee to do this in such an incredibly responsible way. And i just want to thank all of you for being here, joining us, because this is exciting for the future of San Francisco. We know that there are challenges in our city, and we have to make the right kind of investments, not only the issues that we face today but for the issues well face tomorrow. This is just taking one step further to doing just that, and so im really excited to be here with so many incredible people, including the supervisor who represents district 5 [applause] the hon. London breed many of you all know vallie brown. Shes been a Community Advocate in this district for so many years. Not only does she spend time cleaning it up, i mean, personally, literally in the morning, picking up track with her own picker, but she also spends a lot of time fighting for resources in this community. Whether its our Public Safety locations or our community locations, shes been a real advocate, and some of you know the work that was done here, also, the track that was repurposed. And commissioner buell, what was the location over here by the triangle . What is that called . Yeah, with public and private dollars, were transforming this area. And when i served as supervisor, the person who was really actively engaged in working with the community and helping to bring together public and private resources to get these projects done for this community was no other than your current supervisor for district 5, vallie brown. [applause] supervisor brown thank you, mayor breed. Im really happy to be standing here today and to be talking about this. Just a few months ago, we were at fire station 5, brandnew opened. Not only is it absolutely stateoftheart and beautiful, but it is going to be a hub if anything happens in this city. And when i think about we have so many other stations and buildings that we need to have this kind of bond money to be able to fix them up so if we do have earthquakes, if we have things that happen in this city, that were prepared. When we look at i know that mayor breed was talking about kezar and other places, but when we have a major earthquake, and if we think about the earthquake that just happened in Southern California, and how strong it was, but it was in the desert. But think about what if it was here, and what it could have done to our city. I think about that every day, and what i would do if my place was flattened in the city. I probably would be camping in the park unless i had someplace to go that was safe, right . I would. I know the notent rule, but i think they have a cot there for me. I asked them, can you put a cot . So i just feel that its so important that not only is this city ready for anything that could happen, unfortunately and we know it will someday, but we have to be ready individually. We have a responsibility. I actually just went to a fire in my district a few weeks ago. Everybody ran out of the building. There were, like, 12 people. The things they forgot when they ran out they forgot their i. D. , they forgot their medicine, all of those things, and it keeps going into my mind, am i ready . Am i ready for an earthquake . Am i ready for a fire or anything any other kind of emergency . So i went home, and i remembered an emergency kit that i had put together probably 12, 15 years ago, when i did nert, and nert was first starting. My water was expired, the batteries expired, the food expired. Im like, im not ready, and i didnt have the emergency little pack that youre supposed to have by your door to grab and run if something happens. I wasnt ready, and i think about that because i think about what about my neighbor thats elderly, and she has a hard time getting down the stairs . We should be going out, talking to our neighbors. We should be going out, training with nert. Please sign up. If youre not a member, its kind of fun. We need to start thinking about our neighbors and what we can do individually. Are you signed up for the alert, emergency alert, everyone on your phone . Your neighbor . This is the kind of thing that we need to do because it really takes us as an individual and our neighbors to really protect each other if this happens. And believe me if we have an earthquake, im heading down to cafe revelry, and if his coffee machine is working because these are the places were going to have to go to see, are they left behind . Do they need help . I say that because i appreciate all the work in this city that everyone does. Our police chief, fire chief, naomi kelly, and especially our mayor to say we need to look at this, we need to do this now, and being so creative for doing this. I want to thank everyone for coming to district 5. Its nice and foggy here, but cool you down a little bit before you go back to your job. So thank you, everyone. And the next speaker are you going to bring him up . All right. Thank you. [applause] the hon. London breed thank you, supervisor brown. And just a reminder, anyone can go to sf72. Org if you want to get prepared for any emergency situation in San Francisco. A lot of great information from emergency management. Sf72. Org. Now i want to introduce someone whos ae be whos been a 25year veteran of the San FranciscoFire Department and has a very thorough knowledge of how to deal with emergency situations and is why she is currently serving as the chief of the department. Please welcome jeanine nicholson. Good morning, everyone. I love our San Francisco summer weather. Speaking of nert, as supervisor brown just mentioned, i want to recognize, we do have some nert volunteers right here, and nert is going to be critical in the event [applaus [applause] in the event in the event of a disaster. We know its not if, its when. I want to recognize mohamed nuru. Hes been a great ally for us and working with us. In the event of a disaster, our Fire Department needs to respond immediately. Our firefighters and e. M. S. Workers work 247, 365, and we need to be able to respond immediately. And this bill will provide the funding that we need to invest in our Public Safety infrastructure so we can continue to bring the city and the citizens the best service that we possibly can, but especially during a disaster. So thank you all for being here today. Good day. [applause] the hon. London breed all right. Our last speaker for this program before we finally sign this legislation is the chief of the police department, bill scott. [applaus [applause] thank you, mayor. Ill be brief. I just want to reiterate what the mayor said. We have 13 San FranciscoPolice Departments and 14 other buildings. Many of our stations are over 25 years old. These stations, from the day that the doors open, they are open 247. They have always been in use, and many of them are in need of seismic improvements, significant seismic improvements. And we dont want in the time of an emergency, we dont want to have to worry about whether or not the station is going to be standing, even though we plan for that if it happens. Thats the last thing we want to worry about, so i, too, want to thank you all for being here. The vision of the mayor, city administrator kelly, and the vision of our city for looking forward so our city has the proper infrastructure to respond properly, so thank you for the leadership, and thank you, mayor. The hon. London breed thank you. And again, i want to thank all of you for being here. Again, this is only the beginning. The real work beginning when we have to begins when we have to campaign to get this ballot measure passed. We have been successful in 2010 and 2014 in getting almost 80 of the support of the voters for a previous eser bond, and i want to make sure that we top that, so im going to need your help. Its incredibly important that we shrine a light on the measure that will be going on the march 2020 ballot for voters to support. I appreciate you all being here, and also dont forget to vote for the housing bond on the ballot this november. All right. Lets get this signed. [applause] the hon. London breed 7, 11, 19, done. [applause] you. Well to the epic center are you ready for the next earthquake did you know if youre a renter you can get earthquake shushes well take to the earthquake authorities hi welcome to another episode im the chief resilience officer for San Francisco im joined by my good friends for the Earthquake Authority were at the el cap center for the city and county of San Francisco started in 2013 to get the community and talk about the risk we think about earthquake if usual great city youll see one of the demonstrates weve built the model home and i encourage other episodes well be retroactively retrofitting and showing you as Property Owners to employ you work for the california Earthquake Authority talk about your role and earthquake shirnls up think the viewers want to know if youre a renter or Property Owner how the insurance issues. Im the chief mitigation officer or c e a a Property Line funded pubically managed entity that provides earthquake shiners for one to four units and mobile owners to come down and renters throughout the state of california. What make the c e a deft. We work with 19 participates the insurer that sells you, your homeowner policy youre not obligated to buy it but you can buy a policy. Am i covered with Homeowners Insurance. No California Homeowners understand their Homeowners Insurance doesnt cover earthquake they need a separate policy if youre an shiners you can get the earthquake insurance policy. So explain why it is for the c e a is deft if a traditional insurance agency. Irreverent so in the 80s the state of california passed a law that requires any company that writes the policies to over earthquake insurance the homeowners are not required by commissioner cranshaw can bye there was so much loss they were going to stop writing the insurance policies for earthquakes they wanted to stop a serious insurance policy. Were talking about the homeownerships buying the earthquake shiners but 70 percent are renters whats my opposite. The option for renter the earthquake be Insurance Company is affordable i think people dont realize just exactly what it covers it covers damaged property but loss of use if you have to be under a building they have a quarter main that was broken as well as Emergency Repair if interests glass breaks in the carpet you need to be in our unit thats whether earthquake is important. Youre title youre the excessive mitigation officer for the state of california when i think of insurance i dont think about mitigation. So as part of Public Safety mission the c e a started to put aside mitigation loss fund 5 percent of invested income and when i joined the company 34 years ago we had 45 million to make a difference for moving and incentivizing and mitigation for California Homeowners to structure engineering a unique opportunity to cervical homeowners to help them to mitigate the equivalent. Whether an owner or renter i want to find more information about earthquake insurance where should i go. Earthquake authority. Com not only information about insurance but a calculated figures and as of january lots of deductible and 25 percent if a homeowner mitigate their hope up to 20 percent off their premium as an incentive for the work. What does mitigate the home mean. Strengthen, renovate, retrofit through a home particularly older to earlier codes and you put in adding streamlining maybe collar bolts to tie to the foundation or to the wall so it is braced to earthquake can be very, very affordable and really makes a difference.
