longer be refilled with potable water. as for car washing, here's the advice from san jose water. >> we ask that people not wash their car in the driveway that they go to a commercial car wash that uses recycled water. or maybe let your car be dirty for a little bit. it's not the end of the world. >> reporter: as of now this is voluntary meaning there will be no monetary penalties enforced for people who don't hit that reduction target. if san jose water is not able to meet the conservation goals they'll have to reassess later this fall and may begin issuing penalties or surcharges then. obviously that still has to be approved by the cpu. all in this together. earlier this week santa clara county issued a local state of emergency for the drought but they've also said starting first residential customers with landscape asking apply for a rebate if they're able to

change that to water conserving landscaping stuff so getting rid of your lawn and stuff like that. matt boone, abc 7 news. >> this isn't only happening in the south bay. petaluma city officials are ramping up efforts to reduce water consumption by 25%. the city council approved some mandatory restrictions this week including restaurants serving water only upon request. officials told the north bay business journal they are not going to be water police but people can face fines up to $1000 for violations. you probably know how to cut back on your water use. if you need reminders we have you covered. you can find eight simple ways to save water at abc7news.com. this is an issue we are all growing far too familiar with, crime in our communities. neighbors feeling unsafe from places they call home. that's why we are committed to building a better bay area to make this a safer place for all of us. in oakland police are dealing

[ speaking foreign language ] [ speaking foreign language ]

[ speaking foreign language ] >> we're listening to the update here from the miami-dade county mayor, levene cava. she started with the word up imaginable, and we got an update here that this 12 of-story part collapse, 130 units are in that building and she says that half of them have collapsed. the rescue efforts are under way as we speak. we do know that at least one person has been confirmed dead, but they are trying to rescue others as we speak. she said that every single minute is making a huge difference right now in this rescue effort. we do know that some families were able to walk out on their own. however, that earlier update said only about 15 families were able to do, that and walk out on their own. our victor oquendo has been on this story, and we'll get to him

in just a moment. stand by with us. >> when stuff like this actually happens, it is important that all your prayers go out to the family members and those that are suffering right now. i want to thank all the first responders for the incredible job that they have been doing, they have done, and they will be doing for the next several days in dealing with this. it is important that we all rally around the families and the people that are actually suffering so much at this time. i want to thank my colleague also that is here rene garcia along with my colleagues that have been calling nonstop to try to help out. we are together as a community working together as the mayor said. all the details have been given, but we're here together to find anything that we can do to help the families that have gone through this tragedy. so on behalf of miami-dade county's commission as the chairman of the board, we're

here to support the surfside and this community in everything we can do. [ speaking foreign language ] >> listening here to jose diaz who is on the miami-dade county commission. i want to bring in our victor oquendo who has been on scene overnight and into this morning. i want to bring you in here, and the word they started with was unimaginable, and it is. it's unbelievable to see these pictures. give us an idea of what they are up against right now, and what the hope is of possibly finding some survivors in that rubble. >> reporter: well, that certainly is the hope, t.j., but let me show you where we are. that's the building right behind me. the front of it is standing, but the mayor described there's more than 130 units in that building and about half of them came crashing down and we're being kept as a distance because we're

being told it could still collapse, and firefighters are still inside. we should also tell you that it looks like a storm is about to roll right through miami-dade county. these guys have a difficult job ahead of them right now. that for sure will only complicate matters as they continue to search for any survivors here. the latest we know, one person is confirmed dead, but the local mayor here in surfside thinks that that death toll could rise. t.j.? >> all right, victor. we'll continue to check in. let's check back in with this press conference now. >> miami-dade fire rescue. so miami-dade fire rescue at approximately 1:30 this morning responded to a reported building collapse. to summarize, we had a 12-story, 136-unit apartment complex that had sustained a partial collapse. the northeast corridor of the apartment had collapsed approximately 55 apartment units. our communities began search and rescue efforts. they pulled out 35 occupants

that were trapped inside the building. in addition to those, ten were assessed and treated. two were transported to hospitals. search and rescue efforts are still ongoing. we do have operations conducting inside based on, you know, additional intel we're receiving from resources inside to try to echo the mayor's words. we have established a reunification center, and if you do have loved ones that are not answering your call, we ask that you do contact the phone number that's been given to you. 305-614-1819. thank you. >> i'lto do the spanish for the fire rescue, miss benitez. >> we'll continue, and folks, take a look at this scene. the daylight reveals how incredible and devastating this is. we're looking at a 12-story

residential, an apartment building in surfside, florida. with a partial collapse. we heard from the fire chief there, there are, in fact, 136 units in this building. 55 of them have collapsed. they have pulled out at least 35 people he said, have been rescued. some of to them had to be treated, but 35 people were rescued. those rescue efforts do continue. i want to bring in as we look at this picture, steve mcgill who is a jersey city fire chief. steve, what do you think when you see this picture? and something i just heard them say is that there's concern that there could be a further collapse. >> yeah. that would be my major concern right now. you don't know what initially caused that collapse. their rescue teams like ours will be putting up transits, laser beams, shooting at the building to see if there's the slightest movement, and if there is, they'll track that movement and see if the building is still shifting. one of the worst tragedies that could happen is another

secondary collapse while we have firefighters in there trying to rescue other people that are in there. there's definitely going to be people that are in there that are trapped. >> steve, as we look at this picture, look. right now the effort is to try to save as many lives as we can. steve, stay with me here. we have miami-dade police that have stepped to the podium here to continue to update us at this press conference. let's look at that. >> we'll be working with surfside police department and our other municipal partners. we'll provide an investigation and closure for the families. [ speaking foreign language ] freddie ramirez, director of miami-dade police department. >> first and foremost, our thoughts and prayers are with the families and the victims. also i just want to make sure

that the emergency personnel understand how important it is that we have their participation here. we appreciate it very much. we have been in contact with senator scott. senator rubio's office has been in touch with the governor's office, governor desantis, and we're very appreciative of what they've offered in assistance. anything we need. this is not going to be something that is going to be brief. it's going to be something that's going to be for the long-term, and possibly, you know, at least a week, and, you know, these people behind me, it's very important that you recognize them because there's a lot of support here, and this is who is helping to make this happen that we can resolve this as quick as possible. thank you. >> fire rescue said that 35 people were pulled from the building. were those people pulled from the building that's still

attached? >> due to the lightning you just saw we're going to allow for four questions, and for safety we're going to move them out. you're going to be moved to the next block over. this is going to be vacated for safety reasons. so just four questions, and then we're going to continue on. really quick. fire? >> fire rescue. what can you tell us about -- what kind of equipment do you have? >> so in regards to the equipment, we do have our heavy rescue equipment. we are shoring up the structure on the inside as we continue to tunnel in to locate additional survivors. >> how many -- >> how many of people were pulled from the undamaged part of the building versus the damaged part, and how many people -- how many were pulled from the part that collapsed? >> so part one, 35 were pulled out of the structure and part of the collapsed, but not from the

rubble, and two were pulled from the rubble. i'll defer that to my miami-dade police department. >> how many do you believe are still missing? >> can you elaborate on what's going on? >> i don't have that information. i'll defer that. >> is there more people in the rubble? >> currently search and rescue operations are continuing based on the intel that we have. >> how many people are still -- >> in regards to the number of people missing, we don't have the total missing. we haven't established that. again, we ask that you continue to contact that reunification number that's been given out until we, you know, we go from there. >> do you think the death toll will go potentially higher? >> at this time we're still conducting search and rescue operations. so we really don't have that type of information. >> because of the lightning, we're going to have to get people out. you guys start packing up. it's going to be at the lot just north of here.

it's about a block over. you're going to see the miami beach police securing the area. that will be the media staging area. all of this will be cleared off for safety reasons. >> you are looking at just a devastating, a heartbreaking scene, and you heard from officials there that potentially this could get even more devastating. to hear some of the updates and the latest we just heard from that fire department official is that they haven't established how many people are missing after this partial building collapse in surfside, florida this morning. just a horrific scene. just a horrific scene here, and as we know, victor oquendo, you were speaking to me earlier,

that, in fact, something that's going to complicate possibly the search and rescue, the fact that that's florida, and those storms coming and they go quickly, but you all are being moved out because of the lightning. so let me -- before we lose you here for safety reasons, tell me what jumped out at you about what you heard the officials say. >> reporter: t.j., there are still just so many unanswered questions here. we don't know how many are missing. the big question, how could this have possibly happened? in this place with so many people still inside that building. when i spoke to the mayor of surfside earlier, one quick note here, he told me in the middle of the night when he sent the search dogs in the middle of the night, they look for sound. they try to come up with any sound, and they did not get a single hit inside the rubble. that is why he is so concerned that there could be even more dead bodies inside that scene. t.j.? >> victor oquendo. we thank you for your reporting. you get to safety. for our audience, that scene and that picture, that incredible picture that you are seeing right now is a partial building

this is a residential building where there are at least 136 units in that building. we are told now that 55 of those units have collapsed. 35 people have been pulled out and rescued, but we hear from the fire official that only two of those were actually from the rubble. again, when you try to do the math here as i bring in steve who is with the jersey city fire chief, sir, as we look at this and you think at 1:00 in the morning when it was all taking place, this is a residential building. you'll assume that most people were probably home. that building might have been full. we did not get word about how many people are still missing. the fire department did not have that number, but the search continues. what do you see now as you look at that building? search and rescue is the key thing right now and saving lives, but we have to figure out what in the world could have caused a relatively young building, some 30 years old to collapse in such a way.

>> right now, after they've done their reconnaissance which i'm sure they've completed already, and where most of the people were trying to track down who was in there, what was in that building. were there any other type of dangers in there? were there pesticides, were their gas lines ruptured? there's a lot of things they try to do now. probably with the assistance of their investigators on the police side, they're going to be looking at anybody who has video, anybody that has any kind of security cameras around there to try to pin point why and where this occurred and what may have caused it. you know, right now due to that time of night, you can assume people are at home sleeping. that's the worst time to have an event like this. we deal with this at fires. you always know there are people in that building at that time of night. >> again, steve, they do not know, and i want to repeat for anyone who may be trying to get

ahad had of a family member. the number is 305-614-1819. again, that's 305-614-1819. that is the number they're g giving out for families who may not be able to get ahold of a loved one. that's the number they want you to call if you need information, but again, as we button up here, we're going to return to our regular programming here on the network. for some of you, that's going to be "gma" on the west coast. our coverage will continue on abc news live as well, but a building collapse. a 12-story building partial collapse, a residential building in surfside, florida. the search and rescue continues. at least one dead, but an unknown number of missing under that rubble in florida. i'm t.j. holmes. we appreciate you staying with us here at abc news.ews. ncer: really tough to hear that 1:30 in the morning getting that call about a building collapsing knowing that so many people were likely at home

sleeping and that they don't know how many people at this point were inside that building. that search effort continues. >> we saw the images from it the air how bad that collapse was. literally seeing inside of peoples apartments. you saw office chairs and we know the search effort still happening as rain is set to move in to this area. which could make this even more difficult for the firefighters as they try to search through that rubble. hopefully finding survivors hearing only 35 people rescued so far and 55 of those units have collapsed there. >> so of course we'll stay on

targeted at your at home, in your driveway car washes. that hose in the front of your house uses potable drinking water and that's one of the things they want to conserve. they're urging people to go to commercial car washes that use nonpotable water and can recycle some of it on site. what else does this include? well, these are restrictions to all residential businesses and commercial customers trying to get a voluntary reduction of 15% compared to their 2019 usage. this includes limiting outdoor watering to only two days a week for a maximum of 15 minutes with no outdoor watering allowed between 10:00 and 8:00 p.m. if you have an ornamental fountain or pond, those can no longer be refilled with potable water. as of now, this is voluntary meaning there will be no monetary penalties enforced for people who don't hit that reduction target. the water district says they'll do educational outreach if they get reports of violators. >> i know and love all of my

neighbors and we feel the same way, but i wouldn't probably hesitate to call the nonemergency number on someone that was washing their car in their driveway in the middle after hot day. >> reporter: now the caveat to all of this is if they don't hit that 15% reduction target by the end of august they'll have to reconsider how they're going to manage peoples usage. that could include issuing a surcharge for people who are water wasters or who don't hit that target. that will of course have to be approved by the cpuc. earlier this week the county of santa clara issued a local drought emergency but they're also going to be enacting a new rebate program starting july 1st for people who change their irrigation and landscaping to become more drought tolerant. reporting live in san jose, matt boone, abc 7 news. >> thank you. as we mentioned it's not just happening in if the south bay. to see water restrictions for your neighborhood on our list

that's the video you're looking at here. they were able to find him. he was placed on to a back board and taken away. just a few minutes ago officials delivered an update about the patients rescued so far. >> our units began search and rescue efforts. they pulled 35 occupants trapped inside. >> the fire department says 55 units have collapsed. the 12 story building was built in 1981. we'll have more on that. you can find the latest on abc7news.com. we want to check back in on the huge ship carrying a new giant ship to shore crane to the port of oakland this morning. we've been following those live pictures moving toward the bay bridge. its clearance only about five feet. not much room to play with. but it looks like they've been able to pull it off. the ship will go directly to

berth at the port of oakland. we show you about 45 minutes ago when this cleared the golden gate bridge. it's always so remarkable when they take advantage of the low tide and again only having about five to 15 feet of clearance to play with here as they move this new ship to shore crane across the bay. >> you see there's no traffic right now on the bay bridge. so we have learned they have stopped traffic so that the ship could make it through. now that they're good looks like that'll be back open and you can be on your way if you're using the bay bridge. nice to see this this morning. happy they made it okay. here at 6:39, millions talking about britney spears' legal battle. we're inside the courtroom as she spills secrets of abuse for the first time. what abc's chief legal analyst said on gma this morning. let's take a live look at the big board at the new york

during the course of the pandemic. >> we're only touching one in four of the families coming to us in desperate need of help or support during this time. >> we are hoping that this inspires solutions because what is being inflicted on the silicon valley residents is totally unacceptable. >> in the analysis african- american adults are 6.6 times more likely to be cited by police than their white counterparts. for latinx adults 2.2 times more likely. hope these alarming figures will motivate elected officials and residents to do something. kumasi. >> thank you. get ready for a new dating show with a wild twist. >> this involves singles looking for love. okay, all right. but they're wearing animal costumes. netflix just released the trailer for its dating show called sexy beast. contestants are dressed in over the top prosthetics and they go on blind dates to see if personality alone can make them
