Congratulations. Mr. Clerk, our next item. Number 5 is a resolution tea clearing a state of urgency to rapidly expand the citys emergency firefighting water system to protect all neighborhoods in an event a major earthquake and fire calling for an efwx action plan to expand the efws to cover all unprotected nakeds by 2034 and expand the firefighting apparatus and provide neighborhoods not currently covered and to require an annual report on the states preparedness for a major earthquake and fire. Supervisor marr, this is your hearing. Take it away. Thank you for this opportunity to consider this resolution declaring a state of ungency to rapidly expand the citys emergency firefighting water system to protect all neighborhoods in the event of a major earthquake and fire. This urges the city to create a comprehensive action plan including three key points. First, to expand the Water Systems, High Pressure water lines to all unprotected areas within 15 years and to create interim protections within three years by increasethe emergency firefighting capacity currently unprotected by High Pressure pipelines. And number three, to strengthen public oversite and accountability by requiring an annual report to be presented to the board of supervisors on the status of the emergency firefighting Water Systems preparedness for a major earthquake and fire. As we recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the lumnar earthquake, theres been attention on earthquake preparedness and safety and for good reason. The loma quake of october 17, 1989 caused 63 deaths, nearly 3,800 injuries and an estimated 7 billion in property damage. Over the past 30 years, the city has taken many important steps to protect residents and our city from the next big one, including widespread seismic retrofitting of buildings and creation of nert, our response team, to train and engage Community Members in Disaster Preparedness. However, one very critical area of Disaster Preparedness not addressed is widespread fires following a major earthquake. The even more devastating 1906 earthquake caused up to 3,000 deaths and destruction of 80 of our city, mostly due to fires following that earthquake. Following the 1906 earthquake, the city took the important step of building a High Pressure Emergency Water supply system dedicated for firefighting independent from our Drinking Water. The Emergency Water system includes 135 miles of High Pressure pipelines and two salt water pushin pumps stations. This increased the reliability in the event of an earthquake. The efws was originally built over 100 years ago when most of San Franciscos population lived in the northeast segment of the city. So as a result, the network of High Pressure water pipelines covers just the northeastern and the eastern part of San Francisco. And today, onethird is not protected by efws. Most of the citys residential neighborhoods on the west side and in the southeast including the richmond and sunset district, oceanview, bayview hundreders point and visitation valley remain unprotected and are vulnerable to widespread fires, loss of life and property destruction following a major earthquake. Numerous studies have found San Francisco is one of the most vulnerable cities in the world and United States for widespread destruction from a major earthquake and fire. Were all well aware another major earthquake will impact our city in the near future and have been rebehinde reminded by the y moderate that have struck in the bay area in fall. The Geological Society estimates that there is a 72 likelihood of a earthquake striking before 2043. The u. S. Gs warns the pace of large earthquakes is largely to increase due to geological reasons. These warnings and prediction and the 30 also anniversary should be a wakeup call to all of us. The resolution were considering today is intended to bring greater attention and elevate the urgency at city hall and throughout our city. I want to think my cosponsors, supervisor furer, board president yi and safyae and allen wong for his work on this and also the many neighborhood leaders who have provided invaluable input. I would like to thank the City Departments for working with my office on this resolution and all of the important work that you do on a daily basis on these issues of Emergency Preparedness and fire safety. So we have some presentations from the city. Before we do that, i think supervisor safaye would like to make remarks. Thank you. Ill be brief. Supervisor marr said pretty much everything but appreciate supervisor marr bringing this forward. I know theres been a lot of thought and effort into the easter bond that is coming forward. Its an important part of the protection of our city. And one of the things that is interesting as supervisor marr says, when you look at the map is evolution of our water emergency system, a lot goes back to the 1906 earthquake and fire and we had the ability when we were rebuilding our city to ensure that areas where were most populated at the time, over 100 years ago, were the concentration of the areas that you see where the Emergency Water system is today. In the parts of town we live in, southern parts of the city were not populated and many areas were still farms and it makes sense in many ways why you wouldnt see emergency Water Systems built at this time. That being said, we now, at least in our part of town, represent one of the most densely populated parts of the city and it is filled with a Large Population of children and family and seniors and a lot of nonenglish speaking families. The issue of fire is a expensive topic as of late as we have experienced a significant number of fires in our part of town. A lot of the homes in our singlefamily homes in our district have been turned into multiunit properties, some legally and some with the natural growth and some as a result affordability crisis in the city and we have multiple families in the same home but because of that, many of those homes dont have the proper fire and safety equipment. So when we get calls in the middle of the night or early in the morning, and we see that 15 people, 16 people have been displaced from one home, its very clear its multiple families living there and a lot has to do with the unsafeness of the homes. So when we look at the map, as i said, going back to the 1906 earthquake, its very apparent that the west and southern ends of the city are very vulnerable and so, really want to appreciate the har work that the puc, the fire and the city administrator put into this conversation of our Emergency Water system and where we will expand on the west side of town. The we havwe have a small area r district that has coverage but we want a further conversation of expanding that. I know that the Fire Department has now purchased five hose tenders and so that will allow for mobility. That will allow coverage in a more flexible way, but i know and i want to say on the record after meeting with the city administrator, fire and the puc, that theyre in the process of scoping out additional areas that can be expand the i in the sovereigsouthern part of the cih will help our district. We only have so much bon bond capacity and this bond is looking at a certain amount of coverage where there is zero coverage and we have a small amount that can be tapped into for hose tentedders. Tenders. But because we only have a small amount, our part of time needs to have a rebusrobust hose tendd we would like to know where theyll be located and have a fuller conversation about how they will be deployed to protect the residents of district 11, the outer parts of the city. So i know theres a lot of work being done now and well have followup conversations so we can update the public on what areas will be scoped out for future work and the timeline of that. But i feel confident after speaking with a Fire Department, the puc, those hose tenders will provide the safe coverage that we need and we need to have a plan for, a robust plan for expanding the services underground quickly. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor marr . Thank you. So i think we can move to the presentation from the City Department on the current status of our emergency firefighting water system and the plans for expanding it in the future. So i wanted to invite john scarpolo and i wanted to acknowledge, we have brian strong from the office of the resilience and Capital Planning and chief jose bella from the Fire Department. Good morning, im with the puc to give out presentation and answer any questions that anyone may have. I want to thank supervisor marrs office for working so collaboratively with all of the City Departments as you drafted this resolution. So jumping in and you got great descriptions on what the emergency firefighting, water system, known as efws is, High Pressure Fire Suppression system is built after the 06 earthquake. The owner chiship transferred however, any system improvements, projects that we complete, expansions, all of approved by the puc and public works and its a joint effort. We use a hydraulic model to good decisionmaking and that we can understand if we expand a pipeline, what does that do to the supplies throughout the rest of the city . Does it weaken the performance in other areas . So its a great tool to guide our decision making. So weve heard a lot about the northeast side of the city and this is the original etc efws mp and thats how it looked in 2010. We have the two push station pus and those are secondary Water Systems that feed in and the jones street tank, ashbury and are peak reservoir by the Water Systems, those are your primary Water Systems. Thats what in these
