We have tsunami preparedness month and walk coming up in march that we would love your participation. Commissioner veronese tsunami walk. Exciting. Anthony rivera operations, we knew we had time when we were first alerted, we did notify the assistant chiefs. We have our plan in place. To their defense, they did send out a follow up at 4 39, we did get it. Its similar to what fire contained or fire under control. Thats basically what they do when they send out the message, its mitigated. In this case we had a lot of time. Obviously the earthquake was far away. If there was something that gave us indication it was going to come to our area, we would have started deploying assets and helped with going door to door with the cops and doing as much as we could and mobilize as many boats as we could for a safe area. We have a plan in place. But they did their job that night and they do do a good job and thank you. Commissioner veronese im not saying you didnt do your job. Im saying as a membe
Implements policies and procedures well talk about today. President cleaveland welcome. Thank you. What i thought wed do today is an overview of the alert and warning procedures and policies we have in San Francisco and i would like to talk about three recent incidents because i think if we talk through recent incidents youll get a better idea of our policies and protocols and actions and highlight some of our challenges that we have when we do share information about if were undercommunicating or overcommunicating or using the right system. First, a quick overview of what systems we have in place in San Francisco. Our primary one is alert sf. The biggest thing i think to know about alert sf,its completely opted in. This relies upon the Preparedness Campaign and us going out to the public and encouraging them to sign up. So its very simple to do. This is probably the biggest thing you can do to help us to make sure people are aware of incidents in their neighborhoods. Its very simple t

Encompasses large areas that our systems are all supposed to be in play. I just want to ask a question if its not one of these kinds of examples, for example, i used to be a retired director of a Senior Citizen organization in japantown, and i was on the mayors Friendly Task force of seniors and disability, and during that time we had unprecedented heat wave and in San Francisco, traditionally, when you have a heat wave, you like sit it out. Unfortunately, with this last experience it reached temperature levels as well as resulted in a couple of individuals passing away. So, talking to the system, you know, and i was not quite sure but i think we were talking about maybe a heat alert system as well. I dont know if that falls in categorically in this department, but duty officer, is that duty officer at e. M. S. . On the deck, or how does that work . We have the duty officer is at the u. S. C. And so its very close proximity to our dispatch center. Every day from 7 00 to 4 00 a. M. , or
