Currently the department has annual reports up through 1718 Available Online with various statistics of department review. Somebody mentioned that some of them were longer when they were first posted and they became more truncated later, can you speak to that . The department did previously with the review back in 1112, the way the department previously did their annual reports where they were much more extensive, but they also took approximately 1824 months to complete. If you look back in history at the departments annual report, technically included data for 1112. It was much longer. So we are looking out for version we are doing now is to find more of a sweet spot in between that has a series of grass and basic data and information and additional narrative and something that is complete within six months of the fiscal year. But doesnt take a major thesis to do. What is the diffidence between what is the difference between a corner and a medical examiner . I am probably not the best one to answer that question. A coroner is under a sheriff, and other jurisdictions in the country. It could be anybody who runs for office and has absolutely no training. The medical Examiner System is set up to bring a level of professionalism to Death Investigations and how Death Investigation should be properly handled. Our office and many other major jurisdictions in california are set up in the medical Examiner System. Thank you. Supervisor brown . Thank you. I wanted to talk up a little bit about the timing of these reports, because, i know i have talked to mayor mccallie, administrator. This is really tough for families when they are waiting for this report. I went through an experience with the jessica alba family. They were waiting for the death certificate to be um released because they felt it was a homicide and not suicide. Um and, you know, the entire native American Community came out and said this was a coverup. I just filled that, and we have talked about this that the communications has to be a lot better with families um because as we know families are in um there worst times of their lives when they are dealing with this, the death of a loved one. We need to be able to communicate with them what is happening, what the process is, why it is taking as long as it does. Um because, what i have found, the board of supervisors to get that information. We are the in between um. So, i really appreciate that youre looking at this, and even having really skilled, qualified people to help with the families. I think that is so important because um, you know, it is a real issue when we are dealing with those families that are waiting for them. Supervisor, i could not agree you more. Being able to communicate with families at the time of a tragic loss is very key. This is information we are using to help with our recruitment efforts and some of the vacant positions we have. With the jessica alba situation, you know, after talking to you i went back and looked at the timing, and the report came out 52 days after the ten day determination out and then the final report came 52 days later. Had there been better trust and Better Communications the family would not feel this way right now. Especially with a community that does not have trust of this government. Exactly. When you say pending, does that mean there is a draft report that is available for people to review and then later on a final that may or may not be the same . Yes. What doctor hunter did, instead of waiting for everyone, and i think this was right for determination to happen once you have the final report which could be 52 days, 90 days, that is a long time not to know. He waited call quickly and just say pending, pending toxicology reports. Those were available . The toxicology reports were not done yet when we did the pending. Right, but the pending determination was available to the families . Yes. That is why if we build trust a Better Communications we would be in a much better situation. Thank you so much. Thank you supervisor peskin for calling for this hearing. Thank you. Um are there any members of the public that was to comment on this item . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Can we file this hearing without objection . Great. Mr. Clerk is there any further business . There is no further business. We are adjourned. Thank you. Ank you. About two years ago now i had my first child. And i thought when i come back, you know, im going to get back in the swing of things and ill find a spot. And it wasnt really that way when i got back to work. Thats what really got me to think about the challenges that new mothers face when they come back to work. When it comes to innovative ideas and policies, San Francisco is known to pave the way, fighting for social justice or advocating for the environment, our city serves as the example and leader many times over. And this year, it leads the nation again, but for a new reason. Being the most supportive city of nursing mothers in the work place. I was inspired to work on legislation to help moms return to work, one of my legislative aids had a baby while working in the office and when she returned we had luckily just converted a bathroom at city hall into a lactation room. She was pumping a couple times a day and had it not been for the room around the hallway, i dont know if she could have continued to provide breast milk for her baby. Not all returning mothers have the same access, even though theres existing state laws on the issues. These moms usually work in low paying jobs and returning to work sooner and they dont feel wellsupported at work. We started out by having legislation to mandate that all city offices and departments have accommodations for mothers to return to work and lactate. But this year we passed legislation for private companies to have lactation policies for all new moms returning to work. With the newcome accommodations, moms should have those to return back to work. What are legislation . We wanted to make it applicable to all, we created a set of standards that can be achievable by everyone. Do you have a few minutes today to give us a quick tour. I would love to. Lets go. This is such an inviting space. What makes this a lactation room . As legislation requires it has the minimum standards, a seat, a surface to place your breast on, a clean space that doesnt have toxic chemicals or storage or anything like that. And we have electricity, we have plenty of outlets for pumps, for fridge. The things that make it a little extra, the fridge is in the room. And the sink is in the room. Our legislation does require a fridge and sink nearby but its all right in here. You can wash your pump and put your milk away and you dont have to put it in a fridge that you share with coworkers. The new standards will be applied to all businesses and places of employment in San Francisco. But are they achievable for the smaller employers in the city . I think Small Businesses rightfully have some concerns about providing lactation accommodations for employees, however we left a lot of leeway in the legislation to account for Small Businesses that may have small footprints. For example, we dont mandate that you have a lactation room, but rather lactation space. In city hall we have a lactation pod here open to the public. So the more we can change, especially in government offices, the more we can support women. I think for the work place to really offer support and encouragement for pumping and Breast Feeding mothers is necessary. What is most important about the legislation is that number one, we require that an employer have a lactation policy in place and then have a conversation with a new hire as well as an employee who requests parental leave. Otherwise a lot of times moms dont feel comfortable asking their boss for lactation accommodations. Really its hard to go back to the office after you have become a mom, youre leaving your heart outside of your body. When you can provide your child food from your body and know youre connecting with them in that way, i know it means a lot to a mommy motionlely and physically to be able to do that. And businesses and employers can just provide a space. If they dont have a room, they can provide a small space that is private and free from intrusion to help moms pump and that will attract moms to working in San Francisco.

Growing up in San Francisco has been way safer than growing up other places we we have that bubble, and its still that bubble that its okay to be whatever you want to. You can let your free flag fry he fly here. As an adult with autism, im here to challenge peoples idea of what autism is. My journey is not everyones journey because every autistic child is different, but theres hope. My background has heavy roots in the bay area. I was born in san diego and adopted out to San Francisco when i was about 17 years old. I bounced around a little bit here in high school, but ive always been here in the bay. We are an inclusive preschool, which means that we cater to emp. We dont turn anyone away. We take every child regardless of race, creed, religious or ability. The most common thing i hear in my adult life is oh, you dont seem like you have autism. You seem so normal. Yeah. Thats 26 years of really, really, really hard work and i think thises that i still do. I was one of the first open adoptions for an lgbt couple. They split up when i was about four. One of them is partnered, and one of them is not, and then my biological mother, who is also a lesbian. Very queer family. Growing up in the 90s with a queer family was odd, i had the bubble to protect me, and here, i felt safe. I was bullied relatively infrequently. But i never really felt isolated or alone. I have known for virtually my entire life i was not suspended, but kindly asked to not ever bring it up again in first grade, my desire to have a sex change. The school that i went to really had no idea how to handle one. One of my parents is a little bit gender nonconforming, so they know what its about, but my parents wanted my life to be safe. When i have all the neurological issues to manage, that was just one more to add to it. I was a weird kid. I had my core group of, like, very tight, like, three friends. When we look at autism, we characterize it by, like, lack of eye contact, what i do now is when im looking away from the camera, its for my own comfort. Faces are confusing. Its a lack of mirror neurons in your brain working properly to allow you to experience empathy, to realize where somebody is coming from, or to realize that body language means that. At its core, autism is a social disorder, its a neurological disorder that people are born with, and its a big, big spectrum. It wasnt until i was a teenager that i heard autism in relation to myself, and i rejected it. I was very loud, i took up a lot of space, and it was because mostly taking up space let everybody else know where i existed in the world. I didnt like to talk to people really, and then, when i did, i overshared. I was very difficult to be around. But the friends that i have are very close. I click with our atypical kiddos than other people do. In experience, i remember when i was five years old and not wanting people to touch me because it hurt. I remember throwing chairs because i could not regulate my own emotions, and it did not mean that i was a bad kid, it meant that i couldnt cope. I grew up in a family of behavioral psychologists, and i got development cal developmental psychology from all sides. I recognize that my experience is just a very small picture of that, and not everybodys in a position to have a family thats as supportive, but theres also a community thats incredible helpful and wonderful and open and there for you in your moments of need. It was like two or three years of conversations before i was like you know what . Im just going to do this, and i went out and got my prescription for hormones and started transitioning medically, even though i had already been living as a male. I have a twoyearold. The person who im now married to is my husband for about two years, and then started gaining weight and wasnt sure, so i we went and talked with the doctor at my clinic, and he said well, testosterone is basically birth control, so theres no way you can be pregnant. I found out i was pregnant at 6. 5 months. My whole mission is to kind of normalize adults like me. I think ive finally found my calling in early intervention, which is here, kind of what we do. I think the access to irrelevant care for parents is intentionally confusing. When i did the procespective search for autism for my own child, it was confusing. We have a place where children can be children, but its very confusing. I always out myself as an adult with autism. I think its helpful when you know where can your child go. How im choosing to help is to give children that would normally not be allowed to have children in the same respect, kids that have three times as much work to do as their peers or kids who do odd things, like, beach therapy. How do speech therapy. How do you explain that to the rest of their class . I want that to be a normal experience. I was working on a certificate and kind of getting think Early Childhood credits brefore i started working here, and we did a section on transgender inclusion, inclusion, which is a big issue here in San Francisco because we attract lots of queer families, and the teacher approached me and said i dont really feel comfortable or qualified to talk about this from, like, a cisgendered straight persons perspective, would you mind talking a little bit with your own experience, and im like absolutely. So im now one of the guest speakers in that particular class at city college. I love growing up here. I love what San Francisco represents. The idea of leaving has never occurred to me. But its a place that i need to fight for to bring it back to what it used to be, to allow all of those little kids that come from really unsafe environments to move somewhere safe. What ive done with my life is work to make all of those situations better, to bring a little bit of light to all those kind of issues that were still having, hoping to expand into a little bit more of a Resource Center, and this Resource Center would be more those new parents who have gotten that diagnosis, and we want to be this one centralized place that allows parents to breathe for a second. I would love to empower from the bottom up, from the kid level, and from the top down, from the teacher level. So many things that i would love to do that are all about changing peoples minds about certain chunts, like the Transgender Community or the autistic community. I would like my daughter to know theres no wrong way to go through life. Everybody experiences pain and grief and sadness, and that all of those things are temporary. Usf donates 100120 pounds of food a night. For the four semesters we have been running here, usf has donated about 18,000 pounds of food to the Food Recovery Network. Im maggie. Im nick. Were coechairs of the national led organization. What food recovery does is recover and redistribute food that would go wasted and redistributing to people in the community. The moment that i became really engaged in the cause of fighting food waste was when i had just taken the food from the usf cafeteria and i saw four pans full size full of food perfectly fine to be eaten and made the day before and that would have gone into the trash that night if we didnt recover it the next day. I want to fight food waste because it hurts the economy, its one of the largest emitters of Greenhouse Gases in the world. If it was a nation, it would be the Third Largest nation behind china and the United States. America wastes about 40 of the food we create every year, 160 billion worth and thats made up in the higher cost of food for consumers. No matter where you view the line, you should be engaged with the issue of food waste. Access edible food that we have throughout our Lunch Program in our center, i go ahead and collect it and ill cool it down and every night i prep it up and the next day ill heat it and ready for delivery. Its really natural for me, i love it, im passionate about it and its just been great. I believe its such a blessing to have the opportunity to actually feed people every day. No food should go wasted. Theres someone who wants to eat, we have food, its definitely hand in hand and it shouldnt be looked at as work or a task, were feeding people and it really means so much to me. I come to work and theyre like nora do you want this, do you want that . And its so great and everyone is truly involved. Every day, every night after every period of food, breakfast, lunch, dinner, i mean, people just throw it away. They dont even think twice about it and i think as a whole, as a community, as any community, if people just put a little effort, we could really help each other out. Thats how it should be. Thats what food is about basically. An organization that meets is the San Francisco knight ministry we work with tuesday and thursdays. By the power of your name i have faith to move mountains because i believe in jesus. I believe its helpful to offer food to people because as you know, theres so much homelessness in San Francisco and california and the United States. I really believe that food is important as well as our faith. The San Francisco knight ministry has been around for 54 years. The core of the ministry, a group of ordain ministers, we go out in the middle of the night every single night of the year, so for 54 years we have never missed a night. I know its difficult to believe maybe in the United States but a lot of our people will say this is the first meal theyve had in two days. I really believe it is a time between life or death because i mean, we could be here and have church, but, you know, i dont know how much we could feed or how many we could feed and this way over 100 people get fed every single thursday out here. Its not solely the food, i tell you, believe me. Theyre extremely grateful. Its super awesome how welcoming they are. After one or two times theyre like i recognize you. How are you doing, how is school . I have never been in the city, its overwhelming. You get to know people and through the music and the food, you get to know people. We never know what impact were going to have on folks. If you just practice love and kindness, its a labor of love and thats what the Food Recovery Network is and this is a huge i believe they salvage our mission. To me the most important part is its about food waste and feeding people. The Food Recovery Network National Slogan is finding ways to feed people. Its property to bring the scientific and Human Element welcome everyone. [applause. ] we are pleased this afternoon to get started on this big project in front of us. We are going to be having some seismic upgrades, a new elevator, we have a two Story Building wit out an elevator. We will have that for patients and staff. We are happy to have the mayor, supervisor, director of health, director of primary care, finance guy. You cant do things without the finance. We are happy he is here. Our Patient Advisory committee is here. Of course, several members of maxine halls family are with us today. This work honors who she was in this community, a leader and we want to keep that work going caring for the people in the community. We are excited about the project and i want to welcome mayor breed, who grew up in this neighborhood. Please join us. [applause. ] mayor breed thank you. First of all, hello, hello. This is somebody taped the microphone. I am going to hold it like this to make sure everybody can hear me. You grew up in the neighborhood. In fact i spent a lot of time at Ben Franklin Middle School where that is when i was a handful. I turned out okay. All is good. Just remember when any of you are working with the young kids that are a handful, you never know what is going to happen. It could be someone who just really surprises you and becomes all you ever dreamed they could be. That is the spirit of today and the spirit of maxine hall. I am excited to be here. We have Incredible Community treasures that are forgotten. The work we have to do to make sure this clinical was prioritized in the 2016 bond to help address disparities in communities around clinics and healthcare and support was a lot of work. To arrive at this occasion, and i can think about, you know, so many amazing leaders in the community who photo help take care of our kids, seniors to provide resources and services, and maxine hall represented that. That was the work she did her entire life for this community. Why it is be fitting her legacy carries on through the Health Clinic supporting those vulnerable in the community. We want to know why it is called maxine hall in the first place but more important the lady behind what made it is a community. Thank you again. Yes, this is happening. This is happening no more moving up the stairs real slow, no more helping to carry people who cant walk up the stairs. We are finally going to get an elevator in this place. Let me tell you. An elevator may not sound like much to some people. When you dont have one and dont have one that works right like we did at the Cultural Center before we redid the elevator when people got stuck in there. An elevator is everything. Today we break ground on really what will be an incredible facility. Thinking about the needs of the patients that this clinic supports, thinking about the fact that, yes, there are people that have challenges with Behavioral Health and need a safe place to go to in the community with people who they trust that they could talk to. I see a lot of the staff on the sidelines of people who work to keep this place running every single day. Thank you so much for your dedication to the community, for your compassion and work and your patience as we provide the Important Services that our city needs. We also need to have the important conversations around getting rid of the stigma attached to seeking out help for those who are mentally ill. People suffering with depression and sometimes dementia and not sure what to do, and making sure we have places family members can access to get people help and support and treatment they need. This has been an amazing facility, and people here have made do with what they have, but now it is time to get something better. Better exam rooms to meet the needs of the patients, nicer bathrooms with new fixtures and water that works. Making sure the Little Things and how people feel about walking in the facility changes because it is going to be a new facility, but it is important people understand this is about the people that access this facility every day, whether they work here or they use the facility for various things or they come by to pick up healthy fruits and vegetables and the great things and programs that maxine hall has offered for so many years. Protecting and supporting this Vital Community resource is critical to the success of the future of the city. I am happy to be here today. All is not lost, when this facility closes to be done on time and on budget, we have a temporary location near the Community Center. We will make sure that folks in this Community Know that is the case. Just because a facility is shut down doesnt mean the business cant continue. The business of the people in serving this community has to continue. I want to thank the staff for their flexibility and the community for their patience. I want to introduce your supervisor brown who worked as ad for me when we were fighting for the fight that places in our community especially maxine hall need priority and in city bureaucracy years from 2016 2016 passing the bond and preparing and getting the project ready to 2019 breaking ground, not bad in city bureaucracy years. [applause. ] ladies and gentlemen, your supervisor vallie brown. Commissioner brown thank you for coming. I want to thank a few people. Department of Public Health, thank you for pushing to make sure this happened in a way that cares about the community. I want to thank the San Francisco health network, department of public works. I recorded when you said, yes, maam, we will have that done. I will keep playing the recording to you. Mayors office of disability. Reverend brown and the naacp was very instrumental and the Community Center and of course our mayor london breed. [applause. ] you know, when i first started really getting involved in the neighborhood, it was over 20 years ago as a neighborhood activist. I remember someone telling me the story, and this is maybe 12, 13 years ago. About maxine hall. They said you need to know this story if you are going to be an activist. When i heard the story and the kind of woman she was and the kind of fighter for the community. It gave me that kind of passion to do more. When i found out her tragic how she tragically died and how the community said we are never going to forget her and making sure that she was never forgotten in the work she did. She was vessel less. Im sure her family will have stories to tell you about how selfless she was. She was a Community Organizer and activist. For me that gave me a path forward of how i should push forward, how i should never take no for an answer. It also is personal for me. With the center opening, you grew up in utah. Half nativeamerican, on and off reservations my whole life growing up. We never had healthcare, ever. If i ripped open my knee i went to the vet to get it sewed up because it was cheaper. When i was 14 and my mother turned 40 she passed away with undiagnosed diabetes. She had no idea. I think if we had a maxine hall is along the path of our journey she could have gotten a checkup. She never got a check up. She could have had that checkup and that she would have probably, you know, lived on. Her life was cut short at 40 years old. When i think about healthcare and i think about healthcare for all and justice, i feel that this is something that i fight for every day because it is personal to me. I want to thank doctor james for all of the work you do because i know it is not easy. [applause. ] and your amazing staff. I have a quick story. When we were looking for a space to spring some trailers so maxine hall would not close down, there was one area we were looking at. I wont tell you where. We got a huge push back from the community. I said why . This is amazing. We got a push back. They didnt want it. I worked with mayor breed and we said lets take it right in the community of maxine hall . We went to the ellie hill hutch Community Around there and i have to tell you everyone was excited and said, yes, bring the trailers here so services will continue. I want to thank the community for being open when we need those kind of direction to make sure that everyone gets service. Thank you everyone for coming on this lovely day. [applause. ] we want the teens coming over, especially rowdy ones. Bring them along. We want to acknowledge james. We learned a lot from him. Roland pickens who helped us as well. [applause. ] i want to welcome grant colfax to the stage. Doctor colfax was a resident at maxine hall. I want to say one of our loungest serving staff member is tanya thompson. She has been here for 30 years. She started at the age of four. laughter . She was one of the people who welcomed doctor colfax when he came as a resident. She had him seeing patients from the getgo. Thank you for being here. Good afternoon, thank you for being here for this exciting day. Mayor breed i would like to thank you and your leadership for making this help, supervisor brown thank you, muhammad you are crucial. I want to thank Roland Pickens and the team and staff at the clinic who do the work every day. I came back a couple weeks ago. I was here as a resident in 19 1994. The remarkable dedication that everybody has to the community and, most importantly, to the patients that get the care they need. The work around integrating Mental Health with physical healthcare, the fact there is a methadone clinic add join add joining this clinic. I think tha that is the legacy f maxine hall and this click. Now we will turn the the clinic hasnt changed in terms of the physical piece. Where you get care and what it looks like. Healthy environments, positive spaces improve Mental Health. Help peak struggling with substance abuse. Decreased stress. I am excited to see what we can do here in 14 months on time and budget. Lets get going. Thank you. applause . I think we have the director who is going to say a few words. Thank you to the health department. We have developed a very great longstanding partnership. We have delivered many projects together. Of course, the biggest one we have projects in the southeast, south center coming up, renovations. We are excited on this project. We are doing pretty much everything. The project management, construction management, architecture is all going to be done by the public works staff. We are excited to work on that. The funding as you heard the mayor say came from the 2016 Public Health and safety bond, which is very important. I want to thank the voters for making that funding available to us. I think some of the key elements you heard about having an elevator makes a huge difference. We will get a new elevator and make the building seismically safe. In the event of an earthquake or disaster the building will be operational for 72 hours or more. New consultation rooms when people come to use the facility, larger exam rooms, everything with the funding we are excited about. I would like to thank our project team and all of the staff from public works for working so hard to get us here and the contractors working on. The engineers are going to make sure we deliver the project in the 14 months. That would be winter of 2020. I am excited and i hope it gets done on time and on budget. Thank you very much. [applause. ] we want to hear from one of our patients. Our patient advisers are a group of people who bring wisdom to us. We are grateful for their work. We want to hear from them. This is a pamphlet for patients to best access their care. It was thoughtfully done. We give this to all patients. Thank you for being our patient today. Thank you, doctor james. I have been a patient here good years. I receive the best care. I have been to a number of other clinics. This is above all of them by far. I work with the central city which may or bleed knows about. I have been there for about 10 years, i am a housing peer counselor. I am also on the gourd for the Pack Committee and new member of the citywide pack team. Also, i have been on the sro task force for six years. The clinic, remodel is something that we have desperately needed. Inches i have been on the board for the past two years. Every meeting is about the remodel work. We are glad to see it finally coming together. Thank you. We have to have the raffle. Marty made all of this come together. Her mother is a talented artist who put together the pieces for us. Ms. Charlene hill, who is maxines daughter. [applause. ] this is rosalyn frazier. [applause. ] we grew up together. Matthew rothschild. applause . One question for people. What is 1181 golden gate. Who can tell me what that is . The new location for the clinic. That is where we will be for the next 14 months. Visit us there as well. We are counting on our patients to be with us. We will have you back in 14 months and two days for the celebration. He is bringing champagne so dont miss it. Here we go. Five, four, three, two, one. [cheers and applause. ] once i got the hang of it a little bit, you know, like the first time, i never left the court. I just fell in love with it and any opportunity i had to get out there, you know, they didnt have to ask twice. You can always find me on the court. [ ] we have been able to participate in 12 athletics wheelchairs. They provide what is an expensive tool to facilitate basketball specifically. Behind me are the amazing golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state led by its captain, chuck hill, who was a National Paralympic and, and is now an assistant coach on the national big team. It is great to have this opportunity here in San Francisco. We are the main hub of the bay area, which, you know, we should definitely have resources here. Now that that is happening, you know, i im looking forward to that growing and spreading and helping spread the word that needs that these people are here for everyone. I think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as ablebodied, to be able to see and to try different sports, and to appreciate trying different things. People can come and check out this chairs and use them. But then also friday evening, from 6 00 p. M. Until 8 00 p. M. , it will be wheelchair basketball we will make sure it is available, and that way people can no that people will be coming to play at the same time. We offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusion programming, but this is the first time we have had our own equipment. [ ] you. Well to the epic center are you ready for the next earthquake did you know if youre a renter you can get earthquake shushes well take to the earthquake authorities hi welcome to another episode im the chief resilience officer for San Francisco im joined by my good friends for the Earthquake Authority were at the el cap center for the city and county of San Francisco started in 2013 to get the community and talk about the risk we think about earthquake if usual great city youll see one of the demonstrates weve built the model home and i encourage other episodes well be retroactively retrofitting and showing you as Property Owners to employ you work for the california Earthquake Authority talk about your role and earthquake shirnls up think the viewers want to know if youre a renter or Property Owner how the insurance issues. Im the chief mitigation officer or c e a a Property Line funded pubically managed entity that provides earthquake shiners for one to four units and mobile owners to come down and renters throughout the state of california. What make the c e a deft. We work with 19 participates the insurer that sells you, your homeowner policy youre not obligated to buy it but you can buy a policy. Am i covered with Homeowners Insurance. No California Homeowners understand their Homeowners Insurance doesnt cover earthquake they need a separate policy if youre an shiners you can get the earthquake insurance policy. So explain why it is for the c e a is deft if a traditional insurance agency. Irreverent so in the 80s the state of california passed a law that requires any company that writes the policies to over earthquake insurance the homeowners are not required by commissioner cranshaw can bye there was so much loss they were going to stop writing the insurance policies for earthquakes they wanted to stop a serious insurance policy. Were talking about the homeownerships buying the earthquake shiners but 70 percent are renters whats my opposite. The option for renter the earthquake be Insurance Company is affordable i think people dont realize just exactly what it covers it covers damaged property but loss of use if you have to be under a building they have a quarter main that was broken as well as Emergency Repair if interests glass breaks in the carpet you need to be in our unit thats whether earthquake is important. Youre title youre the excessive mitigation officer for the state of california when i think of insurance i dont think about mitigation.
