Someone i wont name, but asked me how i endured it . And the answer about how i have endured it is that its such an honor and privilege to work in an area that is so essential. Both for people, and for the environment, and for the planet. So i have considered that an honor and a privilege. I particularly want to thank Senior Management of the puc for supporting the work that i have done in workforce reliability. Because at this point, mr. Harlan was referring to bay work that is 27 different agencies that are collaborating together. And the took a huge lead role in this and Ed Harrington called the first Strategic Planning meeting. His support as a senior manager of a major utility really set a tone for success for that and its progressively grown. Steve ritchie, who has been supervisoring my work has been very supportive and Harlan Kelley and one outcome of this is that the bay work model, there actually isnt anything else in california like it. There is nothing else in the nation lik
Go ahead. My name is chris hinkey and i have had my Building Three years. There has been three floods there. After the first flood, i realized its going to be a lot of work to get this fixed. I spent almost million on the building to prevent water getting in with doors and floodprevention systems and pumps and everything. I urge you to get this motion passed so all the other residents can do the same things to protect their buildings. It would really be helpful, particularly before el ninos come in and Global Warming and so on. The bigger picture, we would like to get this fixed permanently to prevent the surge waters getting into our builds. There are proposesals and one is to put a proposed park on 17th and folsom street. But if we can put that in, it could actually prevent the water getting into our buildings anyway. So i really hope we could look at this further and meanwhile today, lets get this first stage passed. It could really help a lot of people. Thank you. Thank you. Now do
Then floods a powerful storm smashes records. And why forecasters fear for whats in store. Nightly news begins right now. Announcer from nbc news World Headquarters in new york this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. Good evening. No backing down today by gop president ial contender donald trump whose unfiltered and blunt talk has again ignited controversy. The latest came over the weekend when trump said vietnam war veteran and former p. O. W. Senator john mccain is not a war hero. And while the comments like those trump made about illegal immigration recently have sparked outrage it is worth noting that he leads the latest republican president ial poll though deeper examination suggests the mccain comments may be hurting him. We begin with nbcs katy tur. Reporter donald trump being donald trump today, refusing to apologize for saying john mccain is not a war hero. Telling matt lauer this morning well im not a fan of john mccain. Hes done a terrible job for the vets. I go around ma

My name is Susie Blankenship with cal fire. Hi. This is the allen martin. What can you tell us . I have it at 700 acres. Yes. I can confirm that the wildland fire is currently at 700 acres with zero percent containment. And this got started about 2 00, it was a vehicle fire that started this . It was a vehicle fire. I dont have information on how the vehicle sparked the wildland fire. But it was a vehicle accident. What can you tell me about evacuations in the area . Evacuations are in the mix canyon area for homeowners. And as you spoke of the campers in the canyon screen campground, they have been evacuated. I would assume here we are in the middle of summer those campgrounds have to be pretty packed. Well, i dont have the number of evacuations but i do know that that campground has been
Dbi. We believe these modifications reflect the needs of the affected communities and hope you will consider approving this important resolution to help Property Owners lower their risk of damage due to flooding. We have a lot of public speakers, but commissioners, any comments . Yes, i have a question and comment. So the uptake from the First Program two years ago because i remember we spent some time reviewing right, right. Has it been pretty successful . It sounds like you have done a bunch of outreach and have people really been applying for the grants . Yes. We have had several people actually going through the grant process right now. But we have run into challenges, because the flood barriers and the backflow preventers didnt necessarily meet everybodys needs. Hence, flood walls, in further meetings we decided that we can meet an awful lot more of these needs with flood walls and grade changes, perhaps plumbing changes. Different plumbing changes than the backflow preventers. If
