So all buildings that have places of public accommodation in San Francisco, they must comply with this ordinance. The a. D. E.

And so thats really importantiimportant. In San Francisco, its no secret. We live in earthquake country. Theres a big chance we will be involved in a major earthquake in the next 30 years, but we dont have to be afraid. These are going to be your First Responders outside of the police officers, paramedics, First Responders, these are going to be the people that come to your aid first. By getting to know your neighbors, youre going to know who needs help and who can help in case of an emergency. One of the great ways to do that is for signing7for nert, San Francisco neighborhood Emergency Response team. It teaches you how to take care of yourself, your loved ones, and your neighborhood in the case of an emergency. Information is just as important as water and food in an emergency. San francisco has an emergency text message alert system, called text sf.

All you have to do is text your citizenship code to 888777, and your mobile phone is automatically registered for alert sf.
