>> and people 18 underlying medical conditions. but even though yesterday the fda authorized a booster for those 18-60 four homework in high-risk settings, today the committee voted not to recommend the booster for that >> it is really important if we are recommending the vaccine because it is a good thing for them, rather than it is a good thing because they will be able to show up as a workforce. >> i do worry that by inhibiting access to this, some individuals and families may suffer. reporter: regardless of the fda authorizations, in august, san
4:02 pm
francisco general hospital decided to got the single dose of the johnson & johnson vaccine. and even though moderna boosters are only authorized for immunocompromised people, many have gone to pharmacies on their own to get a third dose of the mrna vaccine. >> my doctor said it is perfectly reporter: this san francisco resident decided to take a third shot in august because she was worried supply would run out if she waited longer. >> do you feel safer now that you have a third shot? >> i am happy that i did it. at 85, what did i lose? reporter: ultimately the health department can implement its own booster criteria. >> we anticipate that in the next many weeks, that we would be roughly 170, anywhere up to

200 50,000 californians in these different categories coming forward to get that additional shot. we are working hard to make sure that not only are we prepared to provide it, but those who are eligible no that they are eligible and they know when the time is right to come in. reporter: we also have yet to hear from the cdc and the california department public of health. -- department of health. i have been in touch with health departments in san francisco, marin county, and matteo counties. they tell me they are ready and they plan to continue to rely merrily on pharmacies for booster shots. >> kate, thank you. california is considering making the covid-19 vaccine mandatory for eligible students. today governor newsom said in preparation of a possible winter search, a new mandate could come sooner rather than later.
4:04 pm
>> i will health department said that this is on the table, being debated over the next few days, and will come out with recommendations. larry: currently los angeles unified is the only school district in the state and forcing a mask mandate. kristen: the oakland unified school district is getting one step ahead of the state after the board required students to get vaccinated. i spoke with one member of the board about the mandate. >> the evidence is so clear that vaccines are the safest and most effective way to prevent you and your loved ones and our children from getting covid. we have to reach the herd, and that is why this vaccination mandate is something that i absolutely support and celebrate. kristen: the superintendent, though, says the mandate likely will not be enforced before january. piedmont unified also approved a mandate yesterday. stay with abc 7 news for the latest on vaccine mandate.

larry: that drought continues to get worse, and we are still weeks away from the rainy season. on the left in red that is extreme or exceptional drought right now. on the right, one year ago this week. take a look at these images, these are bay area reservoirs that have reached historic lows, some at their lowest level since they first began covering up. abc 7 is working on our efforts to cover the bay area. the state is not saving nearly as much water as they need to. we look at growing concerns from environmentalists. >> in a new report, california residents are not meeting the goal to overcome the current drought. in july, governor newsom asked californians to save water, but according to the state water resources control board, californians saved just one point 8%. southern californians saved just
4:06 pm
point 5%. scientists are urging people to save their water resources. >> going into the next dry season with these reservoirs, i think this is going -- it will really test all the water systems. >> this is the professor with uc division of agriculture. he thinks california will be in a worse. >> route. >> some of the water even now in september, which is not a big water using month, it is likely to be useful next year. reporter: right now californians are only asked to cut down on water voluntarily. he is a professor at uc hastings, and he says part of the reason the numbers are different state wide is because there is no statewide mandate for people to conserve water. >> there is no law that says, if in a drought, under these conditions, you should conserve this much. reporter: he says a mandate is possible, and can force people
4:07 pm
to save water. >> doing things on a statewide basis, perhaps in collaboration with the lower government but having a statewide push, could reduce some of the unfairness. reporter: however, he says doing so would require state politicians to work on it. if they do so, it will force water conservation across the state. kristen: could wastewater be the solution to drought problems in the south? california is expanding a new water plant. dustin dorsey explains how they are using technology to lead the county out of the drought. reporter: for those wondering just how bad the drought is in santa clara county, let the images of our local reservoirs and do the talking. calero, anderson, community conservation is important. but if something doesn't change,
4:08 pm
conditions will only get worse. >> i don't want to imagine what the circumstances will look like if we continue on years after years in a drought. i don't know what happens if we can't create our own water supply. reporter: valley water is working on a new age solution. the group plans to expand their san jose plant and build a new facility to create a drought resistant, locally controlled water source. by 2028, valley water's land is to produce 10 million gallons daily of purified drinking water from wastewater. sounds crazy, but they say it could be a game changer. and, tastes pretty good. >> we are importing 55% of our water. having to rely on importing water is becoming stricter, more dangerous. so what we need is a greater guarantee of resiliency, and that is what this gives us. reporter: the process takes the water through microfiltration, reverse us most this, and ultraviolet light, to create safe water -- reverse us most
4:09 pm
of, and ultraviolet light, to create safe water. it will meet more of 10% of the current demand by 2028 and possibly lead santa clara county out of the drought. >> if we want to address climate change, we have to move in this direction and we have to ensure we are creating additional purified water. reporter: all that is left to say is -- cheers. in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc 7 news. kristen: coming up at 4:30, what the future holds for california's drought, and what you can do to save water. larry: new developments in out of shasta county, a bay area woman is accused of setting a wildfire that has. exploded in size it has burned over 1200 acres near reading. it is currently 5% contained. evacuation orders have been issued for a large area of i-5. investigators discovered a 30-year-old woman walking of the

4:14 pm
convention known as dreamforce is winding down. significantly fewer attendees. kristen: anchor dan ashley sat down with the salesforce ceo mark benioff about the changes. dan: i hadn't seen him since the pandemic started, said it was -- so it was great to sit down with his only face-to-face interview of the conference. we always have candid conversations, but just getting inside this time meant jumping a few covid everyone here has been tested multiple times, and was tested multiple times to be with you. why is that so important to you? marc: everyone wants to get back together, safely. we are doing it the right way. everyone had to sand as q-tips last week. we have done about 15,000 tests to get 1000 people here. everyone is wearing their traditional badge, their
4:15 pm
lanyard. the difference is the lanyard has a qr code connected back to all of your qr tips, so we know. dan: so mine is connected to my qr tip? dan: yes. marc: 18 months, we had a purely digital relationship with our customers. we need to reconnect with our customers and that means also talking to them in person. just like i haven't seen you. dan: that's right, we have not seen each other in a long time. marc: right, it is important to reconnect. dan: b have always innovated, and you are certainly doing that in putting on this conference in terms of safety protocols. but you always are involved in your community and communities. you recently surpassed 100 million dollars donated to local schools. talk quickly about that. marc: very important to us.
4:16 pm
we have given more than 100 million dollars now to our local san francisco and oakland public school districts. they are a key stakeholder in our success. i am a product of our local public schools. and we want those kids coming through the public schools to be world-class and we want them to work at salesforce. and o pleasur bu many ways, it is our responsibility to make sure that public schools are great. i have. even adopted a local public school, built a new playground there -- it is very important to me that our bible schools are great, and our public universities. you have done hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts to ucsf because we believe the public university also has to be world-class. so it is great to have the largest company in san francisco, salesforce, but it is also great to be getting back in scale. dan: that comes with some responsibility, in your mind.
4:17 pm
marc: i think it has to go hand-in-hand. dan: mark benioff made news before the dreamforce conference in response to the new law in texas cracking down on abortions. he announced salesforce would relocate any employee who is no longer comfortable in the lone star state. that is no small thing, to go into some of these controversial issues. and you seem to do it -- i know you have given it a lot of thought, but you seem to do it instinctively. and the priority is your employees? that is the reason? marc: i am a product of san francisco, to be honest. this is the home of gay rights, the home of the summer of love. anyone who has grown up here knows what san francisco is all about. dan: it is in your dna. marc: it is in my dna. if someone tells me i am being oppressed or discriminated against by this crazy law or whatever it is,, like, hey, where would you rather live? we want you to stay with
4:18 pm
salesforce, we will move you. dan: you don't want to lose people over these things. have you had any takers so far? marc: yes. every time we have done this, we end up moving people. because people become unhappy that they are living in an environment where they are being oppressed. they want to have freedom. so let them have it0. dan: thank you, great to. dan: be with you and congratulations on pulling this off. marc: great to be with you again. dan: mark also told me about some very big plans for the future, even as people eventually begin to return to the office next year in greater numbers at the salesforce tower and offices around the world -- work from home is here to stay at salesforce. so to make sure employees still get together face-to-face occasionally, and training new hires, marc: is going to build what they are calling salesforce ranch. a training facility that is part a center in part a retreat. he has not said where he will build it. stay tuned, i will get on that

kristen: we have some important safety news. a popular brand of infant loungers tied eight debts is being recalled. larry: michael finney has the recall. michael: consumer reports has been keeping close track of this. they say there are ways to keep your baby safe the consumer product safety commission is urging parents to immediately stop using three loungers made by boppy. the boppy newborn lounger, the boppy preferred newborn lounger, and the pottery barn kids boppy newborn loungers. the cdc issued a warning to not let infants sleep on products like this.
4:26 pm
>> when babies are left unattended on these products, they may rollover, or their heads may fall in such a way that locks their airway and lead to suffocation. michael: in the recall announcement, boppy said it is looking forward to do anything possible to safeguard babies, and it also said that the lounger was not marketed as an infant sleep, product and includes warnings against unsupervised use. consumer reports' rachel has been reporting on safety concerns around infant products for years. her investigation published last october, it revealed at least 28 infant deaths from 2012-2018 tied to nursing pillows and baby loungers. yet the loungers were still being sold. >> parents deserve to know immediately if their baby might me at risk. they should be held accountable. michael: this is a consumer safety specialist at consumer reports.
4:27 pm

>> building a better bay area. moving forward. finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. larry: caring about our climate is part of building a bay area. all of california is in drought and if you have seen a current reservoir, we showed you a few in the newscast, you know how low the water levels are. looking into the issue of climate change, we are joined by a dr. from the scripps institute of oceanography at uc san diego.
4:32 pm
you are a meteorologist. what can you tell us about the current drought? is this our new normal? dr. rattler: thanks for the time. this is a serious drought. there hasn't been enough of the big storms that we need each year, and some climate models are predicting this will be closer to normal over time, although there are swings between very wet and very dry, they may be more pronounced over time. larry: anything we can do? dr. rattler: well, we need to pay attention to what is going on and understand it so that we can try to better predict it. make sure our climate science is sound and state-of-the-art. but also, we are working to try to predict the storms that produce the lion share of the rain and most of the flooding when it does flood, and those storms are called atmospheric
4:33 pm
rivers. we have made some real progress on that and we are working hard to advance that further. better we can predict those storms, the better we can anticipate the downside of them in terms of flood hazards, but also the potential benefits of filling reservoirs. larry: one of your research interests include developing tools to aid in balancing water supply and flood control. what can be done when we are starting to run solo on water that the water officials in various counties are really starting to get concerned about this? dr. rattler: great question. a lot of the decisions in our work relates to, what happened in the wintertime, a number of major reservoirs in the region have two major roles, one is the water supply in the summer, and one is flood control in the winter. they are allowed to be super full in the summer if there is enough rain in the winter, but if there is too much rain in the winter, they have to have empty space to absorb the flood. so that is a balancing act. in the winter, the reservoir is
4:34 pm
capped at half empty. then a big storm comes and it feels part of that empty space as part of that flood control role than the water released shortly thereafter in anticipation of another storm might come. what we have done is we have learned that the vast majority of the storms that matter are atmospheric rivers storms. that if we can predict atmospheric storms a few days ahead, the atmospheric meteorologist has the possibility to look at the forecast and say, i have extra water right now but because there is no big atmospheric river coming, i will hold on another day and look at the forecast the next day. if no big atmospheric river is in the forecast by the rest of winter, the time spring comes around, there is extra water in the reservoir. larry: so that is focused on monitoring the forecasts and
4:35 pm
then reacting to what you think will be rainfall. where are you on desalination plants? i was reading today that california has 11 of them, and more are being built. they are pluses and minuses with desalination. dr. ralph: i am not an expert on desalination, but i believe that a diversity in water sources is important. leave it to what enforcement about how to achieve that. in this environment i think it is important with the changes in climate, the extremes in drought . we need to have backup plans editoria in order to provide ree water supply. larry: what can i do as a single person? is it turning down the landscaping? turning off the water when brushing your teeth? does it add up to anything significant? dr. ralph: those things absolutely add up. individual choices to conserve water, multiplied by the 40
4:36 pm
million people in california or the 10 million or so in the bay area, those can really add up over time. larry: dr. ralph, thank you soah much for your time this afternoon. dr. ralph: thank you. take kristen: saving water is not anything new, we have faced droughts before, but it is definitely a reminder. anchor liz kreutz has some tapes. >> i did it in your home, you can do it in your home. liz: conserving water is nothing new. this is abc coverage of the drought in 19 97. >> if you must use your dishwasher, why not make sure it is jammed full before you turn it on? liz: that is still a really good tape. but experts say there's many other things we can do too. >> simple changes make a difference collectively. liz: one long-term trick is to use a bucket to save the water we usually waste what warming up our shower. you can then use that water for other things around the house,
4:37 pm
like watering your plants. same goes for washing fruits and vegetables. and remember that old phrase -- if it is yellow, let it mellow? you may not want to flush your water as much. one tip is to pour lysol in it. it turns the water clear well taking away the scent. you can also consider getting gray water filtration systems like this one, which allows you to wash your hands with water and then use in your toilet. you can also get a system like this which reuses water from your laundry, in your yard. good news in some counties even offer rebates if you buy them. one of the biggest wasters is irrigation. using things like mulch in your garden can prevent evaporation and thus require less water. >> about 30% less water. liz: although it is good to cut back on watering in your garden, you don't want to cut back too much on watering your trees. >> in the last drought, we had a lot of trees dying off because
4:38 pm
people stopped irrigating. liz: so what shouldn't you do? >> definitely watering your sidewalks. liz: and try not washing your car. these little things have always proven to make a difference. >> that is an easy way of saving water. >> everybody can do it. liz: liz kreutz, abc 7 news. kristen: coming up at check in with bay area water providers and ask why they are not asking for mandatory water restrictions. larry: your eyes. beautiful on the outside, but if you have diabetes, there can be some not-so-pretty stuff going on, on the inside. it's true, if you have diabetes, you know high blood sugar is the root of the problem. but that excess sugar can cause the blood vessels
4:39 pm

4:41 pm
larry: time now for the the 4 at 4:00. dan and spencer are joining us. an article says the warriors are worried about forward andrew wiggins' ability for home games because he has declined to get vaccinated. san francisco rules require anybody attending a game at the chase center to be vaccinated. sources believe the nba would grant him an exception on religious grounds. even so, san francisco could overwrite it. the rules on this are a little odd, i think, because visiting teams don't have to be vaccinated. but warriors players have to be vaccinated to play at chase center. as far as andrew wiggins is concerned, if he set out the 41 home games, it is $350,000 per
4:42 pm
game that he would be missing. dan: i will take his vaccinations for him. [laughter] so let me ask, the visiting team, i didn't realize, does not have to be vaccinated? larry: that is on because anyone else coming to town in every capacity has to follow the rules. larry: and it is the same situation in new york for the knicks and the nets. the brooklyn nets reportedly have issues with players, i think somewhere around 85% is the number i saw. could be a huge issue throughout the league. it will be interesting to spencer: what reason has andrew wiggins given for not wanting to take the vaccine? larry: just hesitant. he mentioned this last year. apparently they sent him to a doctor in oakland who specializes in this, and he is still not convinced that this is the way to go. it is a lot of money on the line. some colorful accusations are being hurled at bart.
4:43 pm
49ers friends are asking why the new train cars are in seattle seahawks colors. [laughter] what is going on here? the transit agency wants niners fans to have no doubts. bart created a graphic showing the seats are not the colors of the seahawks. it even takes a shot at the rivals in delay for the niners, saying, "if we really want a loser's colors, we would go with the ramps!" [laughter] i like that. los angeles metro responded with a tweet that it is just "rude." what do you think about this seahawk-like colors on bart? kristen: i am sorry, those are not seahawk colors. if you think so, check for colorblindness. dan: i don't know, they are pretty close. larry: if russell wilson was sitting on that train, you would say it is a seahawk train! . . kristen: my goodness.
4:44 pm
spencer: you can see the difference [laughter] [laughter] , but it is kind of close. are you supposed to say jif or gif? ? kristen: my kids tell me geef another reason to poke fun at bart. let's stick with the color fema now. sherwin-williams is out with its 2022 color of the year, called -- evergreen fog. [laughter] the paint manufacturer says this is a mix of green and gray. it has a sophisticated earthy feel. sherman williams studies emerging themes to create a cast. another paid company is out with its color of the year today also, they say it is a comforting sage green amid a sense of calm and tranquility. i wonder if it is based on
4:45 pm
pantone. do they say that this green is it and so are other companies, with variations of it? dan: it is a beautiful color, a bit light. remember rooms became dried dates? [laughter] now it has a fancy name. larry: all i know is that the last paint color would match beautifully with the bart cars. [laughter] danya: evergreen fog could be called marine green. kristen: i like that better. it evolved from a couple of years ago when it was blue. it was a green, gray-blue. now it is trending a little yellower. larry: fancy names. [laughter] kristen: so, volvo is going vegan. the swedish carmaker said it will be phasing out leather in all its cars by 2030. they will shift to a material calleda nordica made from
4:46 pm
recycled water bottles among other items. volvo says the new generation of car customers are more concerned with ethical and sustainable products. in march they promised to shift to an all-electric vehicle lineup by 2030 as well. what do you think? dan, you probably would like the traditional letter, but are you open to the new? dan: absolutely, i do, but they are making so many new materials now including and i'm sure they will do it with the car. the question, will it be fine, corinthian nordica? [laughter] remember that? i think it is a great idea and terrific. they will probably do seating surfaces that look and feel pretty much just like leather. spencer: and you can rely on volvo to produce really good stuff. i bet it is going to be nice. larry: anything that helps us recycle is a good thing.
