A new report suggests several bay area courthouses pose a risk to the people inside should a major earthquake strike. Kpix 5s Jessica Flores reports from oakland. Reporter nine bay area courthouses would be considered unsafe in the event of an earthquake and now theres one behind me. Alameda county Administration Building has two civil courts on the 3rd and 4th floors. It was ranked the second worst in the entire state. The worst one is ranked in Southern California in glendale. This is all coming out of a state report this week. In total 56 California Trial Court buildings pose a risk to safety in the event of an earthquake. The report gives state lawmakers recommendations as to which ones need funding for retrofitting first. The cost to retrofit the 12 highest risk buildings would be 320 million. This is also coming at a time when the state has lost about 1. 4 billion in Court Construction funds.

We are on the cusp of a warm weekend thats expected to draw lots of people to bay area beaches. Kpix 5s anne makovec on what swimmers need to watch out for before they taking a dip. Reporter anytime the weather turns warm people take advantage of laying out on our beaches and enjoying the sunshine. You can see the warning signs here behind me but just want you to take a look at the gorgeous ocean. It looks calm right now. The waves are pretty mild. But theres always the possibility of those dangerous rip currents. And that is the problem. In addition to the fact that, um, the water is freezing. Its 54 degrees right now according to roberta. So even though temperatures this weekend are going to be around 70 degrees, low 70s, the water is still dangerously cold. Ocean beach actually ranked as one of the most dangerous beaches in the united states. The biggest threat though is the rip currents. They catch even experienced swimmers off guard. More than 80 of lifeguard rescues at the countrys surf beaches involve people caught up in rip currents and theres not a lot of lifeguard coverage here at ocean beach so the best advice if you get caught in a rip current swim parallel to the shore and then to the beach after youre out of the current. They are going to be doing a drakes here at ocean beach to give people a better picture of that. The other thing to consider this weekend when it comes to dangers here at ocean beach is this is where the bay to breakers race ends. A lot of people get drunk along the way so theres going to be plenty of drunks who think its a good idea to go into the ocean. So again, heed those rip current warnings.
