at it we do it to practice our life saving skills so we know how to communities with one other but most of all to protect our public and residents of san francisco and to protect our first responders. today is also the one hundred and 8 anniversary of the 1906 san francisco earthquake. we went to lotta's fountain this morning to remember those people who came before us who were brave and worship reliant that made san francisco come alive but it made us remember the great fire over after the earthquake and the biggest it threat today is the fire that's going to happen afterward so in 1906 we're better prepared today

with better plans and we are prepared with better infrastructure. we a that's why with the mission bay fire last year because of the all of the the work we did with the infrastructure and planning with our response that's why we were able to respond so successfully it was that investment we made over the years to insure that san francisco is present for the next big earthquake and fire. it's a huge honor for me to be surrounded by our first responders that are the heros of san francisco. you'll met them but first mayor ed lee who i feel like the luckiest be able manager in the country because mayor ed lee understands what we do and he's a huge advocate so mayor ed lee thank you >> thank you very much

(clapping) and thank you for your leadership we were there at the lurngz practicing for a potential earthquake with a sue anonymous and that's how valuable it is to have a department of emergency management that trains trains trains and anticipates thinks out of the box pee has all of us as emergency people from the city practicing how we do it better and better and we learn something every time we come together. we learn from other disasters and international disasters prosecute other countries we we bring that back home and think about more. i'm proud to be in front of the of so many people who decade all their professional lives being a great team of first responders to the city i'm proud of what you do not only on the hours you

spend many the office at auditor sites and stations but i think as emergency people you're also thinking ahead and planning for the unaccepted the mission bay fire was totally unspeeded as we're creating all the new housing that a fire would occur there we're ready and thank you from the top of the city's management from our chiefs to the department head and thank you to each and every one of you how you responded and take care of things and the way you handled the people's calls and every agency including our animal care and control we other than duo don't think about that. we prevented injuries it could

have happened in the worse occasions and we dealt with the traffic and all aspects of it. that's another highlight of our city working with the people that value their profession. many of the individuals i've worked with for 23 years i'm proud to be the mayor. we're going to keep on doing that and take opportunity to learn about every event not only in our city with this particular fire but with what about oakland and jose all of the thinking expected things naegsz to disasters we've got to be prepared this is what i know people who want to live in our city the companies that want to come here they depends on us and

anticipate what could happen. that's what he do with the opportunities we 0 get with the public. i ask the public to please support of the emergency bond program in june we're trying to look around the corner and see that our police departments and fire department's are seismicly safe and we'll have the crime lab and all the other professionals. we have those bonds are representations of things to our public if you support those things we'll take care of you and anticipating the things we don't know what's going to happen. in order to do the bonds and do them right and keep the property tax low we have experts from the public works and can we make sure that we do this in phases

and not cause behalf on behalf of cost and honor them and finish those projects on time and within budget so the public confidence of how we used money can be repeated over and over to take care of things. the emergency response needs money and investment and need our communication with the public. so i an opportunity to say thank you to all the people who worked on the fire to save lives and hopefully we won't have the accidents. we go on to the other things we need to do. i think you're going to see through the summer it's going to be hot we need the infrastructure supported and see us demonstrating what we, do

with more use of our high pressured water system. i'm going to be on the west side of the city walker and educating people how we use our other infrastructures we have to pay attention to so later on when we ask for support of the water systems they can help. same thing i've worked with the chief to have additional classes and all the investor have a good result and a good discussion that that ann thank you and keep on educating us and training together and to all the departments thank you for your reaction to the event and thanks for being there for other events you'll be there for you.

appreciate it (clapping.) thank you very much mr. mayor it's now my pleasure to ask the very best fire chief in our country chief joanne haynes-white to say a few words >> thank you and good afternoon, everyone thank you for coming out it's fitting that we're alm what happened one hundred and 8 years ago and that was the 1906 san francisco earthquake and the fires that raged for 3 days after that. as was mentioned earlier we were commemorating and celebrating and putting up the reminder with the community members to be prepared. the dp m before i said many times before has done a great job they're the glue that holds the entities together and i applaud the dpw.

i applaud mayor ed lee it's a privilege to work with him he's the challenge and having been a head of the public works he gets it. he expects teamwork not only with the fire department but across all departments and behind me we wouldn't have been as successful he without the great teams across all agencies starting with the dpavpz that worked with with us to get our crews to the scene and dpw and puc and animal care and control our police officers and so many people working together to chief the goal of containing the fires. obviously my hat is off to the men and women of the fire department after this event we're going to do a democrats we

were very challenged only thing march 11 and used many of the tools in our toolboxes this put us to the test and it was a perfectly executed example we had windy conditions and no fire protection systems in that building weaponry able to contain just that building threatening neighborhoods and so i was very grifd to see the response and capacities of all the departments we all rose up you shoulder to shoulder to get the job done. we're appreciative of the community for the investment they've continued to make 90 in our infrastructure. some of the systems are aging they need investment we're glad for the easter bonds the earthquake bonds it has put

valuable bonds back into our infrastructure and city to so question, get to the scene. it's important to acknowledge all the people the men and women behind me for the work they did only in mission bay but everyday we're appreciative of our public being so supportive of public safety. the mayor said we'll be there it takes about 3 to 5 minutes but like the day in october 1, '99 we're going to need the public's help it's not going to be the 3 to 5 minute response the more everyone is prepared we'll be able to get into our recovery phase. the dp m has is sf 72 website

we're proud of our response team it's 18 hours of free training we ask everyone to check that utility it's in english and spanish and cantonese. we're proud to partner with all the agencies behind me. we're glad that was notice loss of life are major injuries it would have been different had we not made the efforts in training and equipment. we have members here from the san francisco fire department so show you a demonstration of one of the options we used the low pressure and the domestic water supply and the emergency water system and also put into operation in front of me and behind you our portal water

system. because of the drought condition none of the water is going wasted it's coming from the bay over here so please be advised the ringing of and use of cell phones, mayor it is a great example and illusion of the investment that a has been made in our infrastructure and the investment that continues to be made. so this is good in the event of a disaster, however, the water system people think that the emergency water system is only used in large-scale emergencies that was a focused emergency in mission bay we used the higher pressure system in any occasions with that, i'll turn this over to my colleague and thank you,

mr. mayor. and mta your huge you're the unsong heros we get a lot of acknowledge but a lot of corporation that day. even for me to see the parking control officers to guide me in make a difference because every minute helps in an emergency. thank you (clapping.) thank you chief joanne haynes-white. we're going to take a second i need my two people just honoring the unsong heros as the chief said working everyday to keep us safe the fire department they extinguished the mission bay fire (calling names) holly and others from engine company b representing all their

>> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features.

>> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really, really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are

playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before. [ applause ] fp >> and we are sending a strong message that san francisco families are welcome and we want you to stay. >> this park is open. ♪
