Good night. Look at that beautiful jellyfish. The way to speak to students and motivate them to take action, to save the planet, they do, they care and my job is to speak to them in a way that they can understand that touches their heart and makes them feel powerful with simple actions to take every day. I was born and raised in the desert of palm springs, california. My dad was the rabbi in the community there. What i got from watching my father on stage talking to the community was learning how to be in the public. And learning how to do public speaking and i remember the first time i got up to give my first school assembly, i felt my dad over my shoulder saying pause for drama, deliver your words. When i was a kid, i wanted to be a teacher. And then when i got into high school, i decided i wanted to get into advertising and do graphic art and taglines and stuff like that. By the time i was in college, i decided i wanted to be a decorator. But as i did more work, i realized working my way up meant a lot of physical labor. I only had so much energy to work with for the rest of my life and i could use that energy towards making a lot of money, helping someone else make a lot of money or doing something meaningful. I found the nonprofit working to save the rainforest was looking for volunteers. I went, volunteered and my life changed. Suddenly everything i was doing had meaning. Stuffing envelopes had meaning, faxing out requests had meaning. I eventually moved up to San Francisco to work out of the office here, given a lot of assembly through Los Angeles County and then came up here and doing assemblies to kids about rainforest. One of my jobs was to teach about recycle, teaching students to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost, im teaching them they have the power, and that motivates them. It was satisfying for me to work with for the department of environment to create a message that gets to the heart of the issue. The San Francisco department of environment is the only agency that has a full time educational team, we go into the schools to help teach children how to protect nature and the environment. We realized we needed animal mascot to spark excitement with the students. The city during the gold rush days, the phoenix became part of the city feel and i love the symbolism of the phoenix, about transformation and the message that the theme of the phoenix provides, we all have the power to transform our world for the better. We have to provide teachers with curriculum online, our curriculum is in two different languages and whether its lesson plans or student fact sheets, teachers can use them and weve had great feedback. We have helped public and private schools in San Francisco increase their waste use and students are working hard to sort waste at the end of the lunch and understand the power of reusing, reducing, recycling and composting. Great job. Ive been with the department for 15 years and an environmental educator for more than 23 years and im grateful for the work that i get to do, especially on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco. I try to use my voice as intentionally as possible to suppo support, i think of my grandmother who had a positive attitude and looked at things positively. Try to do that as well in my work and with my words to be an uplifting force for myself and others. Think of entering the job force as a treasure hunt. You can only go to your next clue and more will be revealed. Follow your instincts, listen to your gut, follow your heart, do what makes you happy and pragmatic and see where it takes you and get to the next place. Trust if you want to do good in this world, that we have been without a major seismic event for over 20 years now. Will happen at a moments notice [ ] today we are practising the activation of our Department Emergency Operations Center. This is really an exercise for us to train, and we are using fleet week and the entire the italian heritage festival as the exercise. We have four different sections that are working today. There is operations, and operations basically is our contact with people out in the fields. They are finding out how things are going, and if there are problems, they are letting us know and we can identify through our action plan what what resources are needed and dispatch those resources. They will fill out reports and then the report gets to planning you will identify if Additional Resources need to be happening over a longterm timeframe and then they will provide for that by talking with our Logistics Staff. The logistic staff Logistics Staff is the one that will order labor, materials, they will do that, first of all, looking within our own organization, then if we dont have that within our own organization, they will contact the p. O. C. And then they will look at getting resources to us. And then last but importantly as our finance staff. And they are here to make sure that we first of all fill out all the paperwork so in an actual event, when the federal government will be reimbursing s. , then we are following the proper protocol, and they are also making sure the money is there in place. Today in the field we have the Environmental Service is following the parade, and doing the final cleanup of the parade. And an emergency situation, they would likely be doing something similar to this, only with debris. Also in the field is the inspectors from the mapping. They are doing some live streaming. There is an intersection of beach making sure that everything is safe for our public, our visitors, and everyone participating in the event. There will be so many different departments working during a seismic event or any other kind of emergency. They will all have a separate action plan, and we are here making sure that for public works the action plan for that emergency event is actually followed through. Engineers will likely be doing Damage Assessment of roads , bridges, overhead passes, architects and engineers as well would be doing Damage Assessment of facilities and buildings. Building repair it would probably be doing some immediate repairs to make facilities operational, especially things like shelters, street and sewer repair, as the urban forestry crew also has Big Equipment that can help clear the roadways. [ ] we have been without a major seismic event for over 20 years now, so it is important that we are ready, we know the roles that we need to play, and we are able to act quickly because it will happen at a moments notice so that is one of the reasons why we do this, and again, the more comfortable we feel in our roles, then the better we can respond quickly to emergencies. For an Emergency Planning communication is very important, and so i cant stress enough the importance of figuring out a communication plan for your family, and for the department. That is why we are practising today how we communicate and interact with each other, how we share information, and how we use that information, and then for the city as a whole, so that the city as a halt knows what is 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 t
