Here is another view from the ground. The building houses several businesses including the rang dang vietnamese restaurant. 70 firefighters on scene successfully prevented the fire from spreading to the buildings next door which were evacuated including a bank. The old buildings, were they built really closely to their neighbors so it always creates an issue with exposures. We want to protect the exposure at the same time that we are taking care of be so tight.

The sea breeze continuing as we head through the workweek. Temperatures cooler because of the ocean breeze, we will be tracking the chance for some offshore winds as we look to the weekend. Back to you. All right mary, thank you. Governor newsom is giving an update on the wildfires and also the pandemic in our state. Lets listen in. Here in the state of california, i have long believed and held a bias that shelters may solve sleep. But, housing and supportive services, foundationally, can help address more permanently the issue of homelessness and as a construct, we were able to advance this year an effort we refer to as project home key. Working with legislature, with their leadership, we were able to set aside some 600 million this year in the budget to purchase hotels and other housing for the homeless. To, for the first time, arguably in states history, provide a portfolio support to the cities and the counties. The likes of which we have never had in the past. I want to brief lip date you on some of the progress. This goal of investing some space, needs to move forward. We are moving with surgical aggressiveness with advancing these efforts with a kind of focus and energy that we havent in many, many years. And as a consequence, we are now sending out today, our first awards, drawing down from that 600 million, some 76. 5 million to procure some 579 units, ten different projects, across seven jurisdictions in this state. The reason i highlight these jurisdictions is that a number of them are novel. A number of them, like mendocino county, you see on this list, this is the first ever project of its type within that county. Project areas like tahoe, they have goals with this distribution to functionally get to zero. We also have projects in el centro focusing on foster youth. Many youth emancipated and dropped through the cracks. Pittsburgh, california, we were at a motel 6 site used currently to provide access and opportunity to a program called project room key to exercise the ability to purchase that hotel outright so that we could provide a permanent cohort of supports for homeless in that community. San jose need to be highlighted because i want to highlight mayor sam liccardo. He is now chair of that organization. He has been exceptional and incredibly supportive of this effort in advancing this cause not only within san jose city, but working with other mayors all throughout the state of california. Including working with local leadership in kern county. And i say that because this issue of homelessness impacts the entire state of california. It is no longer a coastal issue. It is not concentrated in just a few dense urban environments in this state, having traveled most part of this state over the last week, i am reminded over and over as we see the underpasses, we drive down streets, sidewalks, strewn with camping equipment and people out there. Tents. The work we have to do. So again i would be remiss if i didnt highlight this. I want folk to know our commitment, our resolve to addressing this issue. It will not happen overnight. We cannot overpromise in this state, the state of california has a responsibility to support cities an counties. The state of california for decades was not focused as much as we would have liked on this issue. And so, we are trying to make up for that. And we are trying to take responsibility. And, move forward and this project home key is one of the more meaningful efforts in advancing that cause. I want to thank all of our partners includeing the head, the cochairs of the work group we put together on homelessness for all of their outstanding support. Representing that work group in advancing this cause. Cause again that many of you came to get updated on though, i recognize, is the experience we are all having with historic wild fire season. I thought i would start with this template of understanding. This is a chart that goes back to 1980. You look over a 40year period, you are seeing the average temperatures between june and september here in the state of california increase from roughly 71 degrees to about 74 degrees. While that may not seem significant, it is profoundly impackful. Average temperatures in the state of california during these summer months increasing over the last number of decades. It is a direct cause and effect to the experience that we are activity. Climate induced wild fire season. I made this Crystal Clear two days ago when President Trump was out here in the state and expressed similarly when we were with senator harris yesterday here in the state that we all recognize our responsibility. Or mutual responsibility. The federal government, the state government, private landowners. All of us doing more and better in terms of Vegetation Management efforts. Forest management efforts. We stiplite that as selfevident. That is being advanced in ways we have not seen in the past by a partnership with the u. S. Forest service to more than double the total number of acreage on an annual basis where we are doing the kind of prescribed burns, the kind of thinning that has an environmental construct at the same time addresses some of the fuel loads in our forests. T the fundamental fact cannot be denied represented in this chart and the reality of temperatures significantly increasing. You see the trend line. That is not going in the right direction. It is going in a direction that only underscores our sense of urgency to address head on the issue of climate and Climate Change. And to double down on our efforts here in the state of california. A commitment i have made very publicly the last few days. The course of many, many years, many different capacities including my capacity as a former mayor where we led the state in many categories. California leads the nation but we have more work to do and you will hear a series of announcements the next few weeks and months as we advance a cause that hold dear in the state of california and a rts it relate to no political the leadership in the state from Governor Brown to governor schwarzenegger. Going back to governor reagan who established 1970, many of the tenants of California Resources board and others that have become National Models in environmental stewardship. We need to reconcile the fact there are no democratic thermometers and republican thermometers. There is fact and reality as well as observed evidence. It is not a belief system. It is an acknowledgment. The facts are the facts. Its not a question of ones belief. It is whether or not you will acknowledge the facts as they are presented. The facts that are in evidence. And we certainly acknowledge them and we acknowledge our responsibility to do more, still, in this space. Why . Well, you can see from this chart, the challenge that we have in front of us. Heres a chart just looking back over the last nine years. Here in the state of california. I reminded people after a tough wild fire season last year, in the kinkaid fire. A fire near the Reagan Library itself last year that generated a lot of international headlines. It was a relatively mild wild fire season in contrast to the last season. You can see the two first bars. 3. 4million acres. 3. 7million acres have burned so far in this calendar year. Last year in the entire calendar year, st substantial n acres that were burned by wild fires. But in comparison to this year, it is modest in size. 2018 of course, you see that third bar. 1. 975million acres burned. The campfire. 153,000 acres in and around paradise. Relate today that fire. 85 lives have lost that being one of the most destructive and devastating from structures and lives lost. Not just acres. It gives you a sense of the challenge we are facing and the challenges we will face moving into the future that will require us to be more flexible. Less ideological and more committed to the collective cause of organizing strategies to keep people safe. And, to maintain our ability and our resiliency so we can work through this challenge and this climateinduced crisis. This emergency that we are facing not only as a state, as a nation. As a globe. It relates to californias historic wild fire season. Let me break them down in terms of the total number of fires in a more, well, easily absorbed terms. Last year, we had 152,000 acres. Again, this year, 3. 4 million acres. Close to 8,000 fires. I will remind you it was a month ago yesterday we started experiencing the impacts of some nearly 14,000 lightning strikes. Was a month ago yesterday, that we can mark that we have now burned just in the last 31 days or so 2. 8 million acres with a tragic loss of 25 lives and thousands of structures. Again, unprecedented number of lightning strikes. Of course, august was unprecedented in terms of heat. Record level, record recorded heat in the state of california including 130 degrees down in death valley which may be a worldbreaking record. 130 degrees here in the state of california. The hottest august in our history. We are currently battling some 25 major fires. What we refer to as complexes. Where fires, 1100, just in the last 30 days, fire starts. A lot of them start to converge together in larger complexes. We still have 38,000 plus people that have been evacuated and again, over 3. 4 million acres have burned to date. Still battling the wild fires, over 17,000 firefighters, over 2200 engines of mutual aid system that comes not only within the state, but, 83 engines now that have come from outside of the state. Including some 60 engines from the state of texas. I want to thank Governor Abbott for his extraordinary support. He has been incredibly responsive for now months here in this state. But, in particular, is really helping us with that creek fire which i will talk about a little bit more in a moment. Just gives you an indication example of a mutual aid system that knows no politics, and that spans not only to states along the west coast, and places like texas, but includes new jersey, governor murphy picked up the phone and sent three engines from new jersey. We had firefighters from israel. And, had the privilege of talking to Prime Minister trudeau who has sent out under their mutual aid system, 100 plus firefighter to help support our efforts in addition to all of those other states. 25 fatalities to date. And, what we know based upon our analysis as we get back in, and we repopulate areas, 4200 and thats why we say plus because we anticipate this number to grow. But 4200 structures have been destroyed because of the latest fires. Lets talk about the progress on some of these more active fires. Many of these fires again, have happened in just the last 30 days in the state. We were out there yesterday, with senator harris in fresno, in the county, the creek fire which has generated a lot of National Attention for good reason. This is an area where we are experiencing uniquely challenging conditions. You see 220,000 acres have burned. 18 current containment. The challenge with this fire in particular, is the fact that we are battling this fire and impacted specifically fire that is being impacted by the drought we experience from 2005 to 2015, arguably, that ended in 2017. That historic drought that led to 163 million dead trees. Enfallbeetle trees, beetle dead these trees kindng. They are dry. You have climateinduced challenges that we have. You have tens of millions of trees in these forests. And obviously, that is a recipe for very challenging conditions. Often those conditions lead to what we are referring to over and over again as megafires. And so, the creek fire remains top of mind, top of concern. We were out there with the u. S. Forest services primarily on federal land. Ill remind you, 57 of the forested land in the state of california, close to 60 is federal area responsibility. Just 3 , just 3 in state areas of responsibility. So, we talk about forest fires. We are predominantly talking about the need for partnership with the federal government. Advanced undation the u. S. Forest service. The incident command at the creek fire is a partnership between cal fire, state agency, and the u. S. Federal forest service. Which again, is advancing a collaborative new stewardship framework which will be very promising moving forward. But is also critical in terms of our suppression efforts. The north complex fire, its another fire we visited 48 hours ago for the second time in a week. This fire has been the most devastating in this respect. The number of acres. 273,000. Which is substantial. Representing the sixth largest wild fire in terms acreage lost in california history. By the way, the creek is the 12th largest in california history. But the devastation of the north complex in around butte county is the 15 lives lost that we know of to date just in this complex which is obviously devastating and i just want to express our deepest condolences to the families that have lost loved ones. That have been out there doing their best to support evacuation efforts. To work with local sheriffs. And, local first responders. To support folks moving into safe locations. This is just 36 contained to date. Relates to fires active for some time. I reminded you a week or so ago, the eighth of september, that one of the largest complexes in history t lnu complex, they made more contain ment to 97 . You are starting to see the amount of acreage decline. The ccu, this is the forest fire, if you were ever in doubt about Climate Change, just consider that czu complex, this is what they refer to as a fire that is occurred in an asbestos forest. You have coastal conditions that have led to some of the most majestic living, well, living trees on the planet. Trees that go back in some cases 2,000 years. These majestic redwoods. And, the redwood forest that goes down to the coast, we had a 24hour period where 44,000 acres were burned in just a 24 hour period along the coast. Again, if you were ever in doubt about climate impacts as it relates to these forest fires, just consider in this asbestos forest that kind of fire activity. You have been watching an update from governor newsom. He touched on the historic wild fire season we are in right now, some pretty eyeopening numbers. Nearly 3. 4 million in 2020 comp about 277,000 acres in all of 2019. He also illustrated the trend line over the last several years showing Climate Change in the state of course, there has been plenty of debate over that this week. The governor says the facts are the facts. More from the governor right now on cbsn bay area. He plan to talk about the coronavirus next. And, thats going to do it for kpix5 news at noon. Our next newscast is at 5 00. Have a great afternoon, everyone. Thomas good old vinny. Also, he told me to give you this. Steffy what . Okay. Yeah. [ door opens ] in
