the holy mackerel. nobody is up here. but this. it the great seal of the state of california. this is a wonderful mosaic. >> it is wonderful. it was original to the building. tens of thousands of people cross by every day. this is the waiting area. the larger alcoves or for storage. and the big plants that would go out to meet the ferries. people would come out to meet the ferries. and then go to the trolley cars. the family of the original artisan still lives in the bay area and they come by every so often to make sure that it is in tact and being taken care of. furry little repair to it. this is the before and after, 1910 to 1960's, 1970's.

this is what the building looked like during that time. it was under plywood and carpeting for about 30 years. this was amazingly preserved underneath all of that when it pulled up. >> how to the ventilate this? are these operable? h[ph>> they are not. we have a cool air intake from the bay. because of the atrium, it would be nearly impossible for any air conditioning, so we have cool air intake on the bayside. that cools the building down. when i first artwork in here, i was fascinated with all the arches, the repetitive arches. the original architect used it as a symbol of the talks in rome, a symbol of how important the water and the waterways are to us city. -- to the city.

it looks like an aqueduct structure. >> what are the uses of this floor and above? >> we have about 10 it office spaces, private businesses, law firm, financial management, lobbying firms. there are all local businesses. -- they are all local businesses, very supportive of the marketplace. >> i know that some part of this building, the water goes underneath, the bay water is under there? >> yes. >> is it under the whole building? >> there is a sea wall, probably right under where you are standing. a lot of it is on the pilings. >> i have seen a guy on a little boat that goes under there and make repairs. >> and also, the coast guard comes, anytime there are logs

floating in the water, we have to call the coast guard. acting get hung up underneath the pipes. >> i want to thank you all for coming. thank you so much for your great information. i hope to see you all again next month for our next program. thank you very much.

>> thank you.

good afternoon and thank you for coming out on this wet day to the last disaster council of 2010 and the last for gavin newsom. i am calling this meeting to order. we go to item three. the after-action reports. the d.e.m. services director will work with us on that. >> we are going to get high- level on the after-action discussion around the world series. the reports are being worked on. they will be circulated for comment. i want to talk about some of the lessons learned.

we had the eoc for the sentencing and the verdict. it was a no-notice event. we had a window of when they were making this announcement. what came out was excellent planning. the police department, fire, health. we had a chance to walk throught how we managed this, and we will have a window and activation time. we didn't have a lot of activity. the eoc stood up. it was a good activation drill. it was a good lesson on how to put this together. the world series, we didn't have a lot of time to plan for. we anticipated it and took it

forward in a number of ways. you have to know the exact expectations. we had a couple of days to put this together. we had something like 36 hours to come up with a plan for the celebration. to put it together that quickly, not a lot of time. in games one and two, the celebration went well. as i look through the data, we had some strengths and areas we are improving on. using the california assistance team, this was beneficial particularly for the celebration with the clinic, they were able to handle much of this. there were over 100 people who

were treated inside the civic center, and there were a lot of people there. most of them were very minor. there were a number of people transported to the hospital. there was nothing particularly serious. we took them from the field, to there. and if they needed more than to be provided on site, they would be transported. the other part of this was using the partner agencies. we had the partnership with the red cross and this was -- we were very happy to have them engaged. the police department was very helpful in getting their vehicles through the crowd. this is very much what you are going to see in an emergency, with many people changing situations. there was a lot of planning taking place because the crowds shifted, using this with

resources that were not what they should have been. we had to make a lot of adjustments. and we were -- is needed to be outstanding to make this happen. the fire department and a great job of coordinating their own paramedics, and working with the private sector during the games and during the celebration. as always, i think that we can do a better job of sharing information, and this will be in the report after action. we are looking at a new platform, to get this proposal out for a new management system that will be helping us to make this easier. this is a training issue, and this is about calling it the first center, and the platform will make it easier to do this. one of these areas that came

out, out of the discussion yesterday, was presenting his findings to the coordinators. this is the functional needs and accessibility. there are a number of concerns for people who were actually at the celebration for the access for motorized wheelchairs, and we have to start building into the plans as we do this, to make certain that people know that if you are in a motorized wheelchair, we have to find ways to accommodate this. we cannot go up the parade route and this will create problems downstream. you may need an ambulance to do this and this is not good for the person involved. i ask for them to include this list. we will be incorporating this into the action report, and as

we go to planning this, these considerations start to be more recognize, and better inc., and as we learn what we have to do here, we will make certain that this is put into training, where appropriate. and with that, are there any questions. >> did you want to comment on this? the police department was the lead agency. >> every april, we think that the giants are going to get into the world series, and with that in mind, we have to gear up. over the last year, we have the

overreaching umbrella, and it works very well. the amount of personnel barricades' with the services, for the world series and the celebrations afterward,, the first couple of games of the world series, i think that this went very well. and i believe that the playoffs went very well. there were celebrations that happened after some of the games, and the final celebration on monday, this was essentially a capacity issue, with a finite number of officers on the street. we had help from the sheriff's office, and this was like

putting out fire all over the city. we were in mitigation of for most of the night. for the actual parade and celebration of the civic center, there is another capacity issue. a number of people that you can place in the civic center, and we went to double this. and we were on the time line schedule. as if somebody told us that there was a tornado coming to san francisco at 11:00. there was not a lot of room to maneuver the days, or say that maybe tuesday is not a good day, we can go to thursday. we did our best to prepare for this. they did the job of coordinating services. and dpw was great help. and considering the number of people, that came there from all

over the bay area, they participated in this. >> we are going to move on, -- >> what was the final cost? do you have that number together? >> i did not see this with me. we do have totals. >> i know that this is around 10 -- but winless last time that you have this? the state people and the national people. >> this is at the civic center? >> we said that this was about 10 million people.

>> i think that we came up with 9.5 million. >> i think that for the civic center, when we prepare for this, at maximum capacity we can take upwards of 40,000 people. we have had some recent events that had 100,000. i think that this was many more than that. >> thank you, commander dudley. we will move on to item no. 2. we're going to take a lick at the demonstrated commitment to

emergency management. as i said this correctly? >> this is a big round of applause -- they came in at a challenging time, and this was frustrating. and this shows the reality of the theory of mother nature. we were talking about the reality of man-made disasters, in an appreciative way. we had not done a lot of basic things. i always felt confident and safe because i have confidence in the police and fire department, and the good people down there. the people at 911 and the private sector partners, the faith based community.

there were some basic things we were not attending to. and as a presentation is going to show, this reconvenes the committee, and mayer brown always used to say, there will never be an earthquake on his watch. and he was right and i cannot criticize them. he was very confident about this. he was thinking that everything would go well. and we will have tibets a little bit. i am now watching in i am not on just yet. in the next few weeks. the first meeting that had, we were walking to reconvene the disaster council. this was six or eight years. people have forgotten about this. we had put in -- we had put

together the emergency planning. the president was looking through his policy papers, and this was well above the first document. and you can see a lot of what he was doing, no other region has done as much as we have. and so, we have put this out of place with the definition and the direction and we will have to keep working on this. and personalities become very dominant. and this is a measure of the performance. you have the emergency, and everyone is operating in organizing in this way. that is one of the challenges that will remain.

i thought that this was the same day. steve is wrong. and then we build this. we had a limited number of people around here, and i think that all of you and the people of the public -- he recommended for us to build on that council, and did all arrived at the table. and this is self-evident. we have 28 meetings, and you should be doing this. this will be very successful next time.

we put together the new plan, and we started to work on all of the subtext. we have been an ex, and you can name this. i will not torture you with everything else. we were really drilling down, to include the new amex, with the old report. and we put in the coordination plan, that shows how low that the bar is right now. there is the controversial emergency plan. we're able to organize this with the partners. there is nothing more important than that kind of planning. we are all in this together on a

regional basis. and we all managed to do this -- and those of the annexes. you can see this yourself. the idea about all of these, is that we exercise this. we had 300 of these, and 92 field exercises. we had a binder on someone's desk, and we were starting to drill these around. we were able to get some federal dollars, and we can remember the before and after of the operations. we were not able to fit everybody there to begin with. and we could not affect all the things that you see there. i did not believe him.

when i was your age, we would have to move the car in the driveway. we would have to take off, and your generation -- we have a few of these left and we were going to tear these down. we had a federal grant, and we were updating this, and maybe he is in this room. i was threatening to do this myself. i was saying, please vote for me. [laughter] honesty, i like this. this is remarkable. people still are critiquing as appropriately.

there is a challenge with this. and we know about the cultural competency and we know that not every corner of the city -- we have this right here in city hall. this is where we're going to have to keep pushing this. we had challenges with the vendor, and all kinds of things. imagine new orleans if they have the system during hurricane katrina. this is extraordinarily valuable. and you can see the difference spanish components. 92 exercises and parts of the training, and all these different agencies are returning. i am proud of that. let me look at those sunglasses. this had the seal? >> the little party -- >> that was fun. >> that is secret. we can't talk about this. >> i am
