So im mary ellen carol, the executive director at the department of management. Welcome. Were here to talk about the 911 which is so going to help us from a Technology Perspective to bring our 911 system to what we call next gen, next generation. So ive been the director here for a year, and its just amazing how much we are able to accomplish, but with technology that is literally decades behind. Were so grateful to leadership, of our mayor and our governor, to help us to bring forward this funding that honestly is going to help us come to technology that most people in their daytoday lives in their personal technology have above what 911 is. This is going to make our calltaking more efficient and honestly its going to save lives, which is really the bottom line and why were here. Thank you so much and ill hand it over to our mayor. Mayor breed thank you so much for being here today. I want to add to what mary ellen said about what we need to do to take our Emergency Response system to the next level. Nowadays its not just about making phone calls. People are Text Messages and delivering messages in a lot of different ways. So it is time that our systems reflect the changes in technology. So ab 911 is just an incredible step forward that will provide us with the resources necessary to improve our system throughout the entire state of california. I want to thank our governor for signing the legislation and his leadership and vision on moving us forward to the 21st century, because we know that when someone reaches out and they are in a situation of an emergency, that they clearly need help and we need to have a better response system. Im sure many of you remember years ago when people when cellphones just began well, that was a long time ago, but cellphones first became a thing and how people would use cellphones in some instances to call 911, but they would be transitioned to another county and there was some difficulty in communication and how we provided Emergency Response to get to that location. So things have definitely gotten better since then, but there is so much that we can do to make it even better. Having the funding necessary to invest in new technologies so that text messaging and all the things we do now to communicate are used in a way to address any situation, whether there is a wild fire or a heat advisory or all of those different challenges that sadly weve had to endure, we want to be prepared, we want to respond in a timely manner, and we are ready to move forward in making those investments to do just that. I want to introduce at this time our governor, who has again been a leader in this effort and on new technologies and used to have my job as mayor. Welcome home to our governor. Thank you, mayor. Thank you all for being here. It is nice to be back. This is my first day on the job as mayor was in this building when i convened what we called at the time the disaster council. I was, i guess in looking back, overly anxious during my time as mayor we would experience a major earthquake. Thankfully we did not. I maintain that anxiety as your governor. That anxiety was only heightened after ridgecrest. Its been heightened certainly after the last two wildfire seasons as well. As ive navigated this state and learned more about our 911 system, it goes without saying its only reinforced that anxiety. The 911 system as we know it today was established in 1973. The technology is outdated. The technology lazily can be referred to as analog technology. It predates the internet, as the mayor suggested, it predates smartphones. 80 of the activity that occurs around a call center is smartphone based not landline based, though we have a system to finance our call centers that predates this new technology. Were overly relying on burdening landlines and as a consequence we have not been able to modernize our system and weve been disproportionately burdening those holding on to that technology, tend to be people on fixed income and seniors. Weve been fortunate. Theres been efforts over the last few years to update our system that have fallen short. We were successful this year in pushing through our budget and ultimately in this what we call trailer bill to get to the point where today we can formally announce that by the end of this month we have identified the vendors and we will be moving forward with updating not only the state lay of the 911 system, moving from analog to digital but our four Major Regions that define this state. There are about 437 other call centers like this, 438 in the state of california, which is an extraordinary number. The reality is they dont have the technology, they dont have the tools to connect. They dont have the capacity to redirect call volume if something goes wrong or theres a surge in that volume. It is selfevident to anyone in San Francisco if theres a major earthquake, the surge volume here will simply overwhelm this call center. Our ability once this new technology is deployed will allow the call volume, as an example, potentially to be redirected to sacramento, redirected to eureka, redirected to l. A. , wherever the capacity will allow. Thats what this technology does. It has a geospatial component. It allows for a substantial amount of bells and whistles. I can get into that and ask our executive director of this and i can ask the o. E. S. Director to fill in the blanks, but it allows us to meet the challenges and the needs of a multiplicity of issues that we face when it comes to mercy planning in the state. This is a big deal. I appreciate the reference that this is about lives because quite literally this is going to save lives. Im proud of the legislature including the by partisans. Final word on this topic, there is a fee attached. I know that generates headlines. We are still among the lowest in the nation in terms of that new fee thats been established. I think thats a nice and important thing to point out. Usually were one of the highest in areas. This is where were among the lowest. So i know there was some anxiety related to that, but i hope that assuages some of those concerns. This, by the way, in closing, has been part, this announcement today, part of our week of announcements around Emergency Preparedness and planning. Yesterday i was up with governor schwartzeneggar. We were talking about some of the work were doing on vegetation management, prescribed burns, making sure were more resilient in 200 communities across this state. Were stepping up our game and getting more ready for Emergency Planning and preparedness. More than 1 billion has been spent to make sure california is more resilient and prepared than ever. Im grateful for the support we received up and down the state. Im grateful for the mayors leadership in this space. She was on the Fire Commission leading these efforts for many, many years and as conversant as any mayor in the state of the needs and desires not only of her constituents, but as it relates to the need to update these technologies and recognizes she cant do it alone. The state needs to do their part and were honored to now be doing our part in this space. Were grateful for that. Were also grateful for you being here and happy to answer any questions on topic. Then we are happy for any questions for mayor breed off topic. Any questions on this subject . Reporter question i was just wondering what you observed in your tour today . To be honest with you, a lot of familiarity, and i think that goes to the reality. We were talking to the o. E. S. Director and asked how does this compare and contrast to other call centers up and down the state. It is put in the top tier, but that bar is not as high as it can be. At the end of the day that capacity is limited because of resources. Our new fee will generate 175 million a year. It will allow the services to go in around october. Well start implementing these new tools and technology up and down the state. Thats what was missing, that state support. This will allow you know better than i the capacity to do things you are losing sleep over currently and do it in the next few months. This is going to move pretty quickly. August 20th were going to identify these vendors. And as soon as october, right, were going to start seeing the application of this promise and promotion. Anybody . Im going to hang out more in San Francisco. [ indiscernible ] i shouldnt say that. She never speaks anyway. I actually sleep pretty well because i compartmentalize as well. As an example, one of the technologies that we all use every day to grab an uber and your uber can find you in a moment or even ordering a pizza, that kind of technology for us when calls come in has not been available to us until really the last few months. And after extensive effort to work with Third Party Vendors who are helping to kind of pull this data together. A lot of it has to do with the state of our technology, which makes it a lot harder. Moving from this analog to a more digital level is going to make that Technology Much more accessible to us, so that we can use that type of quick information that you use to catch a ride or to get your lunch to get help to you, whether its Law Enforcement or a medical response or fire. So it just speaks to the ability to have access to this kind of Technology Much quicker. We alone would have been able to go to. Secondly, this is probably just as important, this will provide us with a lot more resiliency and redundancy. The governor explained a little bit and mayor breed about how this allows us to have more mutual assistance between other jurisdictions and their 911 centers because we dont have to put everything in a suitcase and walk across the street. Well be able to flip a switch and work out so that if we have an earthquake or a potential power outage thats extensive, we very quickly will be overwhelmed at our center. So this allows us to go to other jurisdictions who can pick up and get those calls and make sure help is getting to people when they need it in the time they need it. You mentioned the fee. What is the fee and who pays it . Its going to be one flat fee across the board. We have multiple fees right now. 0. 33. We are authorized to go higher. We are very confident that we will not need to go to what is authorized, which is closer to 0. 80. 0. 33 puts us on the lower tier. Current landline users are paying 0. 50. That will use to 0. 33. A disproportionate amount of smartphone use is text and data, not voice. So we have a system thats collapsing in terms of its funding capacity, and thats why we have been struggling to get this up in sacramento. Fortunately we were able to get it in the budget. We had a few supporters from north state that experienced the ravages of mother natures fury as it relates to the campfire, and i think that really truly brought home this reality and need. So i just want to acknowledge them because they did something within that party that often is not done when encouraged to do the right thing despite the political consequences. I couldnt be more proud of those two individuals as well as the others in the legislature who supported this. The first day in the nation since 1973 that mandated 911. We have lost our leadership a bit. Were now going to reassert our leadership. 27 Million People use this system. We have 1. 4 i think just here in San Francisco. You drop even for a minute the calls, that literally puts lives at risk. So it is not, again, an exaggeration at all. This is a lifesaving fee that will go a long way to making california more resilient, more capable in emergency environment to do justification to it, that is to have someone to answer the phone in an emergency 24 hours a day, seven days a week. [ indiscernible ] those companies are competing for these contracts, so all of this is in collaboration and partnership with those companies. Well see. I dont know who will wind up winning these business, but theres some wellknown brands in the state that are competing. I dont know if you want to talk more about the deeper collaboration with Cellphone Companies or maybe just flesh out other attributes of this system very, very briefly. Sure. Thank you. In regards to the cellphones, what this will do is harden that 911 connection from our Community Member on the street, whether youre using a cellphone, your office phone, your home phone. That connection through your provider, thats up to that vendor to be able to harden their infrastructure. But once it recognizes that you have a 911 call, were going to create redundancy and resiliency in the network so it can get to our local dispatch center. Thats what our job is, to make sure that 911 call is received, routed to the appropriate peace app as quickly as possible. We believe it can be done in 3 seconds from the time you hit 911 to the time the dispatcher receives the call. Full disclosure these things will take a few years. They dont just happen overnight. By december 2022 it should be fully operational. [ ] sustainability mission, even though the bikes are very Minimal Energy use. It Still Matters where the energy comes from and also part of the mission in sustainability is how we run everything, run our business. So having the lights come on with clean energy is important to us as well. We heard about cleanpowersf and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. It was super easy to sign up. Our bookkeeper signed up online, it was like 15 minutes. Nothing has changed, except now we have cleaner energy. Its an easy way to align your environmental proclivities and goals around Climate Change and its so easy that its hard to not want to do it, and it doesnt really add anything to i came to the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission as a San Francisco fellow.

One of the most generous and goodhearted people i have ever met. Having her assume pe as as supes very helpful. This was my first job out of college. Amy supported me every step of the way. I felt like i can do this. I have a staff i manage. We have a complement that joins us once a year to help us. They give them the chance to learn financial matters. Amy would it is for an hour or hour and a half going through these complicated financial things with you, patient. I find my strength in sitting down and walking through the project, how can i help you . They appreciate that. It means that you are giving time to them. I hope or interns will be the new leaders. Amy made should be we were well trained. She gave me mangoes. I went home and ate them. The next day i said i like these. Two days later there was a crate, 3 36 manning 36 mangoes. She embodies Public Service in everything she does and the way she does her work. It was great having her as a supervisor. She is not in it forehead lines or awards. That is making me glad she is getting an award. The huge ilty, dedication and integrity and wisdom she brought, that is Public Service. My name is amy. I retired earlier this year.

[ ] i would say i am a multidimensional artist. I came out of painting, but have also really enjoyed tactile properties of artwork and tile work. I always have an interest in public art. I really believe that art should be available to people for free, and it should be part of our world. You shouldnt just be something in museums. I love that people can just go there, and it is there for everyone. Public art is art with a job to do. It is a place where the architecture meets the public. Where the artist takes the meaning of the site, and gives a voice to its. We commission culture, murals, mosaics, black pieces, cut to mental, different types of material. It is not just downtown, or the big sculptures you see, we are in the neighborhood. Those are some of the most beloved kinds of projects that really give our libraries and Recreation Centers a sense of uniqueness, and being specific to that neighborhood. Colette test on a number of those projects for its. One of my favorites is the oceanview library, as well as several parks, and the steps. Mosaics are created with tile that is either broken or cut in some way, and rearranged to make a pattern. You need to use a tool, nippers, as they are called, to actually shape the tiles of it so you can get them to fit incorrectly. I glued them to mash, and then they are taken, now usually installed by someone who is not to me, and they put cement on the wall, and they pick up the mash with the tiles attached to it, and they stick it to the wall, and then they groped it afterwards. [ ] we had never really seen artwork done on a stairway of the kinds that we were thinking of because our idea was very just barely pictorial, and to have a picture broken up like that, we were not sure if it would visually work. So we just took paper that size and drew what our idea was, and cut it into strips, and took it down there and taped it to the steps, and stepped back and looked around, and walked up and down and figured out how it would really work visually. [ ] my theme was chinese heights because i find them very beautiful. And also because mosaic is such a heavy, dens, static medium, and i always like to try and incorporate movement into its, and i work with the theme of water a lot, with wind, with clouds, just because i like movements and lightness, so i liked the contrast of making kites out of very heavy, hard material. So one side is a dragon kite, and then there are several different kites in the sky with the clouds, and a little girl below flying it. [ ] there are pieces that are particularly meaningful to me. During the time that we were working on it, my son was a disaffected, unhappy high school student. There was a day where i was on the way to take them to school, and he was looking glum, as usual, and so halfway to school, i turned around and said, how about if i tell the school you are sick and you come make tiles with us, so there is a tile that he made to. It is a little bird. The relationship with a work of art is something that develops over time, and if you have memories connected with a place from when you are a child, and you come back and you see it again with the eyes of an adult, it is a different thing, and is just part of what makes the city an exciting place. [ ] hi, im corn field and welcome to doing building San Francisco, we are doing a special series, called stay safe, how you can stay in your home safely and comfortable, and we know that an earthquake is coming and there are things that you can do to reduce the effects of the earthquake on your home. Lets take a look at that. Here at the spur urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco talking about staying in your home after an earthquake. I have guests today, pat buscavich and his dog, harvey and david, and both Structural Engineers and we want to talk about things that you might do before an earthquake to your home to make it more likely that your home will be ha bitable after an earthquake, what should we do . Both structural and maybe even important nonstructural things. You hear about how to prepare an earthquake kit and brace your book shelves and water tank and that is important. What you have to be careful is make sure that you are not going the easy things to make yourself feel better. If you have a bad structure, a bad building, then you need to be looking at that and everything that you do to keep your collectables in place is small and compared. If you have taken care of your structure, then there is a lot of stuff that you can do in your house that is nonstructural and your chimney and water tank. Lets talk about what the structural things might be. And he is exactly right. You dont want to make the deck chairs safe on the titanic, it is going down, you are going down, you have to make sure that your house is safe. There are basic things that you need to do including bracing the water heater, not just because of fire hazard but because of the water source and the damage, but basic things are installing anchor bolts, and adding plywood and strapping your beams to column and posts to footings and foundations are really easy things to do and most contractors can do the Building Department is set up to approve this work, and these are things that every home owner should do, and it is a little harder because you have to get a Building Permit and hire a contractor. But you want to be able to after a big earthquake to climb in bed that night and pull the covers up and say i dont have to worry about going to a government shelter. That is the main focus that it is great to have an earthquake kit to be able to bug out for 72 hours. Here is a better idea, stay in your own home and in order to do that you have to be make sure that your structure is okay. If you have a house, the easy things to do with the wood construction is feasible. If you have a renter or you live in a concrete building, you need to talk to the building own , and make sure they have done their Due Diligence and find out what the deficiencies are. When i have looked at damaged buildings,vy seen that a little bit of investment in time and money and structural work provides great dividends. Especially if it is the wood frame, typical house that you can do the things that i was talking about, the anchor and the plywood in the first garage area, you know if you refinanced in the last three years, get some of that savings and it is a really good investment. And the other thing that i try to tell people, earthquake insurance is not the solution to the shelter in place, if there is a big earthquake and your building is damaged, you are not in your house, you may be somewhere else, if you work in the city, it is going to be really hard to commute from sonoma, you want to do what is necessary so that your house is retrofitted and a couple of years of earthquake premium could get you to a level that you could be in the house after a significant earthquake and it may have damage and there is still a shelter in place where you are at home and you are not worried for the government taking care of you and you are living in a place where you can go to work and you want to have your wood frame house is really easy to get to that level. On top of the wood frame house, i mean every wood frame house in the west half of the city have a water tank and the water tank fall over because they are gas fired and start fires. And that is something that you could do for yourself, and for your neighbors and for the whole city is make sure that your water tank is braced. If you look at the studies that are predicting on fires, we are going to have a lot of fires and for every water tank that is braced there is a potential of one less fire that the Fire Department is going to have to fight and we dont want to have any more fires than we need to. So bracing the water heater is the first thing that you want to do. And so easy, and you go online and you google, earthquake, water and heater and you google the sites where you can find the details and you can put them out there on the Hardware Store and you can hire a small contract tore do that for you. That is a couple of hundred bucks, the best investment. If you are in other types of building it is complicated. If you are in a highrise building you just cant anchor your building down because there are no anchor bolts, but at that point, the tenant should be asking questions of the owners and the managers about earthquake preparedness and dont take the easy answer, oh, our building is safe it was designed to code. That is not the right answer, ask the tough questions and see if you can get a report that has been given to you. What is the right question . Will i be able to stay in my home after the expected earthquake . Is that a good question to ask . Yeah, you may be more specific if you talk to the owner, if it is not a recent building, if it is ten or 20 years old see if they had an inspection done and there you will have a written before that will tell you all about the structure. Thanks, pat. Thanks, harvey. And thanks david for joining us and thank you for joining us watching. Ever wonder about programs the city is working on to make San Francisco the best place to live and work we bring shine won our City Department and the people making them happy what happened next sf oh, San Francisco known for its looks at and history and beauty this place arts has it all but its City Government is pretty unique in fact, San FranciscoCity Departments are filled with truly Initiative Programming that turns this way our goal is to create programs that are easily digestable and easy to follow so that our resident can participate in healing the planet with the new take dial initiative theyre getting close to zero waste we 2020 and today San Francisco is diverting land filled and while those numbers are imperfect not enough. Were sending over 4 hundred thousand tons of waste to the landfill and over the 4 hundred tons 10 thousands are textile and unwanted listen ones doesnt have to be find in the trash. I could has are the ones creating the partnerships with the rail kwloth stores putting an in store collection box near the checks stand so customers can bring their used clothes to the store and deposit off. Textile will be accessible in buildings thought the city and we have goodwill a grant for them to design a textile box especially for families. Goodwill the wellknown store has been making great strides. We grateful to give the items to goodwill it comes from us selling those items in our stores with you that process helps to divert things it from local landfills if the San Francisco area.
