Thank you very much commissioners. Welcome to the stage, father microcode father michael quinn. [applause] good afternoon distinguished guests, chief nicholson, chief scott, and all the wonderful people of San Francisco and the people from surrounding areas who are here on this wonderful day to ask gods blessing and to really recognize that we have indeed received gods blessing however, we name our god since a terrible day that we remember as the earthquake. On october 17th, 1989. For those of us who were around at that time, remember there was a moment when we didnt know what to do. The bridges were closed. It seems like we were really stuck. What happened is gods spirit within us took over and what happened is communities came together. The communities came together to not only address the immediate issues, but the more farreaching issues. Example, the San FranciscoInterfaith Council was founded as a consequence. Can you imagine that week all of our faith decided we should Work Together as a community of San Francisco and Work Together. Thank you, god. You had to ring the bell a little loud, but we got it. Thank you for the First Responders, many of whom risked their lives. Thank you also for the individuals who are not First Responders, but who stepped out. They let god work in them. They have been blessed since this time since that time with the divine intervention of our god. Our god has given us Civic Leaders who make sure that our rooms are safe. We continue to ask for divine intervention of that god to give us leaders to provide for emergency services, to provide for the welfare and the wellbeing of the citizens and the guests of the city of San Francisco, and we thank god for their continued vigilance to be prepared for all those occasions may god keep us all safe and may the next 30 years be safer than it was 30 years ago on this date now i have the great privilege of introducing maryland and breed. [applause] thank you, father quinn. Thank you so much to everyone who is joining us here today to celebrate how far weve come over the past 30 years, and i remember that day. I was actually a freshman in High School AttendingGalileo High School right here in this neighborhood, and it almost feels like it was yesterday. We know that 30 years ago the loma earthquake struck suddenly, and even though it only lasted for 15 seconds, its impact was tremendous. 12,000 homes damaged, millions of dollars in Property Damage all over the bay area, and sadly , 67 lives were lost before their time. Weve come a long way and we know that there have been significant changes in San Francisco. We all remember the embarcadero freeway. It is no longer there. Pays valley and the central freeway, and we have some hayes valley folks here with us today, it is now this beautiful, vibrant open space. Buildings in the civic centre that have been rehabbed to seismic standards, and of course, so many people who live in the marina. You remember the devastation that existed here which is why it was so important that this city implements soft story legislation to ensure that when the next earthquake hits our safety, we are more resilience. We are more prepared than we were, then. We all know that we cant prevent an earthquake from happening, but in this city, we have taken the Lessons Learned from what we know happened. That was a time where technology was a lot different. We didnt have many cell phones and smart phones and other communication devices. In fact, those of you who were there probably remember when it happened. I ran upside. I was on webster street between fulton and mcallister at a friends house. I felt the ground shake. It had turned upside down. We immediately ran outside and were like, what happened, what happened . We didnt understand what was going on. We heard the bay bridge collapsed, we heard this was going on. There was so much information. We did not have access to electricity. We relied on radios and relied on communication from others. More importantly, we were safe because we knew that so many of our First Responders from the police department, from the Fire Department were out there in the communities checking and making sure that our communities were safe so we are so grateful so we continue to be there for us time and time again. We want to spend out sent send out a special announcement a special shout out to the volunteers. We know when disaster strikes that our Public Safety officials may not be able to get everyone right away, so we are going to need to look out for one another over the years, we have really worked hard to build more resilient communities. Communities where neighbors know what to do, where they look out for one another so that we are the First Responders when our fellow neighbor needs us during these times so that we can continue to keep one another safe and provide support during what we know could be a problematic time in our city. We have come a long way and we are Still Standing stronger and more amazing than ever. San francisco, as we know, even with his challenges, is still one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We will continue to make sure that we make good policy decisions, good investments, and continue to work with all Community Members throughout San Francisco to make sure we are all safe. Today we remember that we have come further in the past 30 years in being a more resilience , a more seismically safe, a better city so that when the next one happens, we are prepared. I want to thank all of you for being here today to really mark this occasion. I also want to take the opportunity to suggest that you think about your Emergency Preparedness kit. You have to access the wreck of the recommendations on the website for things you can use and one of those kids that would last for 72 hours. I was with some kits kids today at Rosa Parks Middle School and they were telling me what i needed to put in my kit. I thought wow, we are preparing the next generation and they are now going to be the ambassadors for their families and for their communities so that we can all look out for one another and to make sure that people are safe and that our city is better and stronger than ever. Thank you all again so much for being here to celebrate. [applause] good afternoon, everybody. Im Catherine Stefani. Im the supervisor for district two. It is such an honor and a privilege to serve district two. Thank you all for being here today. Thank you mayor breed for your remarks. Obviously we are here today to commemorate 30 years of the loma earthquake, witching just 15 seconds rocked our community. I cant believe it was only 15 seconds because what 170 one summer he asked me the other day how long i thought it was, i said, at least a minute. When someone told me it was just 15 seconds, it truly was the longest 15 seconds of my life. We know that it took the lives of 67 neighbors and cost caused over 5 billion in damage. It is, of course, fitting that we are here in the marina, a neighborhood which suffered some of the most extensive damage. The headline of the examiner, in fact, the following day red, s. F. Marina devastated. In this neighborhood, gas mains and pipes burst sparking fires, causing buildings to collapse, and killing four people. I was actually a junior in college. I was in my dorm room at st. Marys college just across the bay bridge when the earthquake struck and my friends and i, you know, we heard about what to do in an earthquake and, of course, when it hits, all of a sudden all of that goes out the window. What we did is what you are not supposed to do, we started running. We ran outside to find a chaotic scene. All of the windows in our library had been blown out, people were panicking, and i was personally touched because my roommate at the time had her little brother here in San Francisco who was recovering from leukemia. It was one of the hospitals here in San Francisco, and we did not know whether or not the hospital was okay, whether or not he was okay, and of course, we were hearing things like that bay bridge collapsed, and based on how bad that earthquake felt, we pictured the entire bay bridge in the bay because it felt like that actually could have happened. And what we learned from this experience is the importance of having a plan in place and be prepared ahead of time. We know that every household should have an earthquake safety kit and a plan for what to do in the event of an earthquake. Having these important conversations now will make a safer in the event of another big one. Just this monday, we had a small earthquake of 4. 7. A reminder we must always be prepared and a reminder we must talk about this with our children. My daughter who is 10 years old had just fallen asleep in bed next to me and was jolted awake, sending her sharp elbowed directly into my jaw and making me perhaps the only injury of the earthquake that night, but really, that was my daughters first time experiencing an earthquake and it was truly scary for her. She had a lot of questions about what would happen if the earthquake had been bigger and she was so on edge that she really couldnt go back to sleep i told her, you know, we turned that nervousness into awareness. We become aware of what we can be doing and then we turn that awareness into preparedness. We are having important conversations about what to do in case of an earthquake, what our family disaster plan is, and where we keep our emergency supplies. I hope that today, on this 30 Year Anniversary of the loma earthquake, families across the city are having similar conversations about how to be prepared. We do not know, of course, when the next big one will strike, but we must do everything we can is a city to make sure our residents and businesses are as prepared as possible. Im proud to have cosponsored the earthquake safety and Emergency Response bond that will be on the ballot in march and if passed, will provide over 600 million in muchneeded funding for Capital Improvements to critical infrastructure, including neighborhood fire stations, District Police stations, the emergency firefighter water system, and other essential facilities and infrastructure. Im also excited to announce today my resilient district two program which started here with the resource fares this afterno
