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 actually activated at you know, a warm level one, and so we have the Operations Section active every day, and then its a 24 7 duty officer program. Like last night duty officerer sent out 2, 3 notifications, and i did the other night about a power outage. And then just in terms of the heat and Public Health, i mean, we certainly work with department of Public Health if there is, you know, a hea
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
Unprecedented heat wave and in San Francisco, traditionally, when you have a heat wave, you like sit it out.

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.

Potentially yes, the amount of writeoffs and adjustments to that degree. Yeah. Youre in that neighborhood. Why are we giving out free healthcare to people if were not looking to get it back.

But this is almost a third of the budget. We have a long wish list of things we would like to have. We wouldnt have to go to the Mayors Office and begging for extra things if we actually had this. This is a third of our budget. Im not saying this is on you, im not accusing you of doing this, but there has to be a better way of doing business where were losing over 10 years, billions of dollars. Like give it to them for free because it should be a service we have or actua
