I. And basic information and the best routes to get to home or work those ambassadors became very big connectors to ordinary people everyday to what was going on and basic information theyve become invaluable to people that havent been in community before and so valuable that the crime rates around those areas became lower people that walked to work and saw the ambassadors saw them on the streets Walking Around became a lot more comfortable with theyre afraid experience on the streets we rolled this out beginning in the bayview now successful we brought it to Mission Street and Visitacion Valley and ambassadors to the tenderloin and to the mission and every one of overseeing areas not only has the fact street crime been reduced by r by people that walk the fact streets remain that much more comfortable and secure and having a friendly face in the what i call the buzzing bee colors the fact yellow and black being bright and recognized we identify as ambassadors working things with youre walking practicals and Police Officers but doing the fact extra services that go well beyond Public Safety just information sharing has been valuable to everyone who uses our streets so its been so successful that literally every supervisor and every community has been asking for more of the ambassadors and wear glad to do them when we have a Strong Economy and have strong members of the community philosophically funding a number of the programs for a number of years so popular that today, we are happy to say were launching this Community Ambassadors program with the support of your local supervisor the chinatown and that is a great clapping. great addition they are bio cultural and bilingual be theyre afraid incentive tied toe people that use the streets, in fact, those ambassadors have been so good they recognize people going to work and coming from work by their first names and theyre recognized by theyre first names i wanted to say that is another example of the Community Engagement that the office of immigrant rights does thats why we place the fact Ambassadors Program under the tool because theyre a lot of people that come to the city that simply dont know how to assess the services so from understanding the municipal id card and getting information whether the events are happening, have access about the ever changing route asia time that muni might have, to where are things happening and how can i get access to the fact Senior Services and that wear using our communitybased organizations from which to recruit residents of the neighborhood they serve i cant think of a better job to be in your neighborhood speaking languages that rehabilitate the fact culture of our district and doing to Great Service of not only safety but information and everyone feeling that once you have that Yellow Jacket all of a sudden the community is there and feel pretty special as an individual residential or visitor this is two can that combined engagement backed up with our Law Enforcement personnel is engaged and in fact, each of the ambassadors do glow several days training with the Police Department so they can help if anything maples theyll be there theyll be the fact first with ans to assess the emergency calls saying i need respond on the street and if you dont speak english the ambassadors will be that bridge theyre true ambassadors to for what that name means and theyll work to make sure that everyone feels safe so i want to say congratulations to the fifth year of the Community Ambassadors program thank you for expanding it to chinatown where a lot of tourists and local residents a lot of seniors and everyone else needs to have that assess and needs to have a Quick Response but hopefully nothing ever happens but people having fun and American People caliber allergic time in the streets 24 will improve every single corridor and alleyway for people to know how to assess the information and get the fact information so congratulations adrian and congratulations to everyone that is associated with the fact Community Ambassadors program clapping. thank you, mr.

Thank you, everyone and thank you, mayor ed welcome to did you know that many buildings in San Francisco are not bolted to the foundation on todays episode well learn how the option to bolt our foundation in an earthquake. Hi, everybody welcome to another episode of stay safe im the director of earthquake safety in the city and county of San Francisco im joined by a friend matt. Thank you thanks for being with us were in a garage but at the el cap center south of market in San Francisco what weve done a simulated the garage to show you what it is like to make the improvements and reduce the reflexes of earthquake were looking at Foundation Bolts what do they do. The Foundation Bolts are one of the strengthening system they hold the lowest piece of wood onto the foundation that prevents the allows from sliding during an earthquake that is a bolt over the original construction and these are typically put in along the foundation to secure the house to the Foundation One of the things well show you many types of bolts lets go outside and show the vufrdz were outside the epic center in downtown San Francisco well show 3 different types of bolts we have a e poxy anchor. It is a type of anchor that is adhesive and this is a rod well embed both the awe hey that embeds it into the foundation that will flip over a big square washer so it secured the mud sell to the foundation well need to big drill luckily we have peter from the company that will help us drill the first hole. So, now we have the hole drilled ill stick the bolt in and e postoffice box it. That wouldnt be a bad idea but the dust will prevent the e postoffice box from bonding we need to clean the hole out first. So, now we have properly cleaned hole whats the next step. The next step to use e postoffice box 2 consultants that mixes this together and get them into tubes and put a notice he will into the hole and put the e postoffice box slowly and have a hole with e postoffice box. Now it is important to worm or remember when you bolt our own foundation you have to go to 9 department of building inspection and get a permit before you start what should we look at next what i did next bolt. A couple of anchors that expand and we can try to next that will take a hole that hole is drilled slightly larger marathon the anchor size for the e postoffice box to flow around the anchor and at expansion is going into the hole the same dinning room well switch tamet so, now we have the second hole drilled what next. This is the anchor and this one has hard and Steel Threads that cuts their way into the concrete it is a ti ton anchor with the same large square so similar this didnt require e postoffice box. Thats correct you dont needed for the e postoffice box to adhere overnight it will stick more easily. And so, now it is good to go is that it. Thats it. The third anchor is a universal Foundation Plate when you dont have room above our foundation to drill from the top. So, now we have our Foundation Plate and the tightened screw a couple of ways to take care of a foundation whats the best. The best one depends on what your house is like and our contractors experience theyre sometimes considered the cadillac anchor and triplely instead of not witting for the e postoffice box this is essentially to use when you dont have the overhead for the foundation it really depends on the contractor and engineering what they prefer. Talking to a qualified professional and see what
