Year participating in it. They took the kids everywhere around San Francisco. This year, owner talking about placing them in summer camps, all he wanted to do was spend the entire summer with them. He has strong women in his life, so he really appreciates it. I think that carries through and i appreciate the fact that there are more strong women in the world like that. I met dandrea 25 years ago, and we met through our interest in karate. Our professor started on cortland years ago, so we grew up here at this location, we out he outgrew the space and he moved ten years later. He decided to reopen this location after he moved. Initially, i came back to say, hey, because it might have been 15 years since i even put on a uniform. My Business Partner was here basically by herself, and the person she was supposed to run the studio with said great, you are here, i started new Nursing School so you can take over. And she said wait, that is not what i am here for i was by myself before for a month before she came through. She was technically here as a secretary, but we insisted, just put on the uniform, and help her teach. I was struggling a little bit. And she has been here. One thing led to another and now we are coowners. You think a lot more about safety after having children and i wanted to not live in fear so much, and so i just took advantage of the opportunity, and i found it very powerful to hit something, to get some relief, but also having the knowledge one you might be in a situation of how to take care of yourself. The selfdefence class is a new thing that we are doing. We started with a group of women last year as a trial run to see how it felt. Theres a difference between selfdefence and doing a karate class. We didnt want them to do an actual karate class. We wanted to learn the fundamentals of how to defend yourself versus, you know, going through all the forms and techniques that we teaching a karate class and how to break that down. Then i was approached by my old high school. One once a semester, the kids get to pick an extra curricular activity to take outside of the school walls. My old biology teacher is now the principle. She approached us into doing a selfdefence class. The girls have been really proactive and really sweet. They step out of of the comfort zone, but they have been willing to step out and that hasnt been any pushback. It is really great. It is respect. You have to learn it. When we first came in, they knew us as those girls. They didnt know who we were. Finally, we came enough for them to realize, okay, they are in the business now. It took a while for us to gain that respect from our peers, our male peers. Since receiving the grant, it has ignited us even more, and put a fire underneath our butts even more. We were doing our summer camp and we are in a movie theatre, and we just finished watching a film and she stepped out to receive a phone call. She came in and she screamed, hey, we got the grant. And i said what . Martial arts is a passion for us. It is passion driven. There are days where we are dead tired and the kids come and they have the biggest smiles on their faces and it is contagious. We have been operating this program for a little over a year all women entrepreneurs. It is an extraordinary benefit for us. We have had the Mayors Office investing in our program so we can continue doing this work. It has been so impactful across a diversity of communities throughout the city. We hope that we are making some type of impact in these kids lives outside of just learning karate. Having selfconfidence, having discipline, learning to know when its okay to stand up for yourself versus you just being a bully in school. These are the values we want the kids to take away from this. Not just, i learned how to kick and i learned how to punch. We want the kids to have more values when they walk outside of these doors.

We are doing a special series about e staying safe. Lets look at issues of water and sewer. We are here at the San Francisco urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco and im joined today by marrielen from puc and talk about water and sewer issues. What are things we should be concerned about water. You want to be prepared for that scenario and the recommendation is to have stored 1 gallon per person per day that you are out of water. We recommend that you have at least 35 days for each person and also keep in consideration storage needs for your pets and think about the size of your pets and how much water they consume. The storage which is using tap water which you are going to encourage. Right. Of course at the puc we recommend that you store our wonderful delicious tap water. Its free. It comes out of the tap and you can store it in any plastic container, a clean plastic container for up to 6 months. So find a container, fill it with water and label it and rotate it out. I use it to water my garden. Of course everyone has plastic bottles which we are not really promoting but it is a common way to store it. Yes. Its an easy way to pick up bottles to store it. Just make sure you check the label. This one says june 2013. So convenient you have an end date on it. And there are other places where people have water stored in their houses. Sure. If you have a water heater or access to the water heater to your house, you can drink that water and you can also drink the water that the in the tank of your toilet. ; not the bowl but in your tank. In any case if you are not totally sure about the age of your water or if you are not sure about it being totally clean, you can treat your water at home. There is two ways that you can treat your water at home and one is to use basic household bleach. The recommendation is 8 drops of bleach for ever gallon of water. You add 8 drops of bleach into the water and it needs to sit for 30 minutes. The other option is to boil water. You need to boil water for 510 minutes. After an earthquake that may not be an option as gas maybe turned off and we may not have power. The other thing is that puc will provide information as quickly as possible about recommendations about whether the water is okay to drink or need to treat it. We have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sf water. Org. People should not drink water from pools or spas. But they could use it to flush their toilets if their source are not broken. Lets look at those issues. Sanitation is another issue and something people dont usually or like to think about it but its the reality. Very likely that without water you cant flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake. You need to think about sanitation. The options are simple. We recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. You can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once its used. You take a little bit of our bleach. We talked about it earlier from the water. You seal the bag completely. You make sure you mark the bag as human waste and set it aside and wait for instruction about how to dispose of it. Be very aware of cleanliness and make sure you have wipes so folks are able to wash up when dealing with the sanitation issue. Thank you so much, my name tom hewitt. First of all, i would like to welcome everyone to come to this fair. This safety fair, we trying to educate the public regarding how to prepare themselves during and after the earthquake and then to protect themselves for next 72 hours. Hi. My names ed sweeney. Im the director of services at department of building inspection, and we put together a great fair for the city of San Francisco to come down and meet all the experts. Weve got engineers, architects. We have builders, we have government agencies. Well, we have four specific workshops. We have the accessible business entrance. My name is leah, and i am the assistant manager with the department of small business. I am leading the new accessibility ordinance that helps existing owners better comply with existing access laws. So all buildings that have places of public accommodation in San Francisco, they must comply with this ordinance. The a. D. E. Was setup by the board of supervisors, and the ordinance was passed about a year ago. One of the biggest updates that we have is that the deadlines were extended, so all of the deadlines were extended by six months. And its really to help the public, the Business Community to be specific, to cut down on the amount of drive by lawsuits. So on this workshop, were going to be covering what the compliance looks like, what business examiand property owne need to know how to comply with the ordinance. Well also talk about the departments that are involved, including the office of small business, department of building inspection, planning department, as well as the Mayors Office on disability. Hi. Im marselle, and i manage a team at the building department. Today, well cover the meaning of a. D. U. S, more commonly known as accessory dwelling units. Well talk about the code and permitting processes, and well also talk about legalizing existing dwelling units that are currently unwarranted. This is the department of Building Inspections residential remodelling workshop. My name is senior electrical inspector cheryl rose, and at this workshop, were going to be answering questions such as do i need an electrical permit when im upgrading my dwelling, when do i need to have planning involved in a residential remodel, and whats involved with the coerce process . Were going to also be reviewing inspection process, and the permitting process for residential remodel in San Francisco. Theres always questions that need answers. Its a mystery to the general public what goes on in construction, and the more we can clarify the process, the more involved the consumer can be and feel comfortable with the contractors theyre working with and the product theyre getting in the results. If you have questions that arent addressed in this workshop, youre always welcome to come up to the third floor of 1660 Mission Street, and were happy to discuss it with you and find out what you need to do. The program is very successful. The last piece is already 60 in compliance. Well, we have a very important day coming up. Its sept 15. Last four has to be compliance, which means that the level four people that have to register with us and give us a basic indication of how theyre going to deal with their seismic issues on their building. Im francis zamora, and im with the San Francisco department of emergency management, and today we talked about how to prepare for emergencies in San Francisco. And so thats really importantiimportant. In San Francisco, its no secret. We live in earthquake country. Theres a big chance we will be involved in a major earthquake in the next 30 years, but we dont have to be afraid. These are going to be your First Responders outside of the police officers, paramedics, First Responders, these are going to be the people that come to your aid first. By getting to know your neighbors, youre going to know who needs help and who can help in case of an emergency. One of the great ways to do that is for signing7for nert, San Francisco neighborhood Emergency Response team. It teaches you how to take care of yourself, your loved ones, and your neighborhood in the case of an emergency. Information is just as important as water and food in an emergency. San francisco has an emergency text message alert system, called text sf. If theres some kind of an emergency happening in San Francisco or your neighborhood, it could be a police action, a big fire, a tsunami or an earthquake. All you have to do is text your citizenship code to 888777, and your mobile phone is automatically registered for alert sf. My name is fernando juarez, and im a fire captain with the San Francisco fire department. We have a hire extinguisher training system. You want to pull the pin, stand at least 8 feet away, aim it at the base. If youre too close, the conical laser that comes out, its too small, and the fire wont go out on the screen. If you step back, the conical shape on the screen is bigger, and it will take the fire go out faster. So it can tell when youre too close. My name is alicia wu, and im the director of a San Francisco based nonprofit. Since 2015, we go out to the public, to the community and provide training in different topics. Today were doing c. P. R. , controlling external feeding and how to do Perfect Communications in each topic, and also, i hope that they can bring it home and start gathering all the supplies for themselves to. On any given day in San Francisco, were very well resourced in terms of Public Safety professionals, but we all know in the event of a large scale disaster, it will be hours and days before the Public Safety professionals can get to you, so we encourage people to have that plan in place, be proactive. Theres websites. We have a wonderful website called 72hours. Org. It tells you how to prepare yourself, your family, your pets, your home, your workplace. We cant emphasize enough how important it is to be my background is in engineering. I am a Civil Engineer by training. My career has really been around government service. When the opportunity came up to serve the city of San Francisco, that was just an opportunity i really needed to explore. [ ] [ ] i think it was in junior high and really started to do well in math but i faced some really interesting challenges. Many young ladies were not in math and i was the only one in some of these classes. It was tough, it was difficult to succeed when a teacher didnt have confidence in you, but i was determined and i realized that engineering really is what i was interested in. As i moved into college and took engineering, preengineering classes, once again i hit some of those same stereotypes that women are not in this field. That just challenged me more. Because i was enjoying it, i was determined to be successful. Now i took that drive that i have and a couple it with public service. Often we are the Unsung Heroes of technology in the city whether it is delivering Network Services internally, or for our Broadband Services to low income housing. Free wifi for all of the residents here so that folks have access to do job searches, housing searches, or anything else that anyone else could do in our great city. We are putting the plant in the ground to make all of the City Services available to our residents. It is difficult work, but it is also very exciting and rewarding our team is exceptional. They are very talented engineers and analysts who work to deliver the data and the services and the Technology Every day. I love working with linda because she is fun. You can tell her anything under the sun and she will listen and give you solutions or advice. She is very generous and thoughtful and remembers all the special days that you are celebrating. I have seen recent employee safety and cyber security. It is always a top priority. I am always feeling proud working with her. What is interesting about my work and my family is my experience is not unique, but it is different. I am a single parent. So having a career that is demanding and also having a child to raise has been a challenge. I think for parents that are working and trying to balance a career that takes a lot of time, we may have some interruptions. If there is an emergency or that sort of thing then you have to be able to still take care of your family and then also do your service to your job. That is probably my take away and a lot of lessons learned. A lot of parents have the concern of how to do the balance i like to think i did a good job
