comprehensions sexual assault and she's championed for consumers and he representative spear has over 28 years of public service ass and is the first california lecture to give birth while no office give it up for her (clapping.) i love it when people introduce me by saying i was the first elector to give birth awhile 90 in office i was also the oldest. thank you to secretary prez for being commented to listen to the stories to our great leader nancy pelosi this is why women will succeed in this country because she's he helm and our

drama free mayor ed lee i like to refer to him he gets the job done and we're fortunate to have him and others. i'm very, very going to be brief we're not going to leave in a madman episode. that happens 50 years ago and it's time for this country it recognize that 40 percent of the breadwinners in this country are women and when 40 percent of the breadwinners in this country have women it is time for us to change the policies that are preventing us from working well together as families and workers (clapping) but i want to tell you one thing

that's deeply disturbing to me my hope the secretary and his staff will recognize what's happening here in the san francisco bay area can happen in other areas where there's success and economics are red hot i'm speaking especially about the declining middle-class in the bay area it's at a crisis it's dropped by 10 percent in the last 4 years in san francisco. it is now 33 percent of san francisco is the middle-class the rich have gotten richer and the poor poorer and the marked shrunk. in san mateo county that's $16,000 plus a year.

but the living wage calculator developed by an mit found a simple adult with one child should be making $26.03 in order to make a basic living in the bay area. so 1010 is just the beginning of what we have to do to transform the way we look at working families in this country and the middle-class we need to help so thank you for your attention (clapping) >> thank you congresswoman spear. i'm very pleased to introduce congressman hoffman he's dedicated his career to

preventing the district and now as a member of congress he's a champion of the state park system before interpark serve he worked as a senior attorney for the national defense council and as a special interest with many wins in trial because welcomes congressman hoffman (clapping.) well, thanks everybody just about everything i wanted to say was said by the previous speeches i'm audio a enthusiastic me took to the remarks you've heard from nancy pelosi and from others and, of course, labor secretary tom

prez. i will add a little bit about my congressional district my colleagues represent wonderful districts i'm partial to mine not because we have the oldest trees and a wine country that's amazing we have women that have changed the course of history one is here rosy and two of them were welders in the manor shipyard in sal let's and one phyllis was a welder across the bay in richmond by i wonder since they've been talked about here and if we could ask them to stand specifically

(clapping) thank you phyllis and mary and restraining order desz we're very proud of you. you know, mine grandfather was a rosy at martin bomber plant in nebraska a generation later i saw another generation of women stepping up to make a difference and my own mother what a hardworking mother of 3 boys and we have powerful stories but those are personal ones for me how women have contributed to the country and the families that depend on their hard work

but as powerful as those shgsdz we have a long way to go when we hear stories of women making $0.77 a dollar to the male counterparts it is a step backwards when the ladies were making equal pay in the shipyard we know that 2/3rd's of minimum wage workers are women and the poverty rated at the 14 percent plus for women is the highest in two decades. so as the rosy the resistor take care stepped up to the plate and my own mother i think it's cumbersome upon all of us to keep working and i'm glad you brought it to our region that many of you will be taking it to washington next month i want to

express my support as a member of congress for giving america a pay increasing that the minimum wage and the family leave and i want to add with an extra piece in the introduction that was mentioned i was a public interest attorney for me at least and other women succeeding rick nixon passed a law called title 9 the amendments of 1972 (clapping) and i had a chance in a prior life to represent women and i see all around me where the confidence and the team and the discipline that are honed through the equal opportunity through theefksz athletics is helping to build women leaders thank you for caring the message

to washington when women succeed america skeekdz >> hi, i'm corn field and welcome to doing building san francisco, we are doing a special series, called stay safe, how you can stay in your home safely and comfortable, and we know that an earthquake is coming and there are things that you can do to reduce the effects of the earthquake on your home. let's take a look at that. >> here at the spur urban center on mission street in san francisco talking about staying in your home after an earthquake. i have guests today, pat buscavich and his dog, harvey and david, and both structural engineers and we want to talk

about things that you might do before an earthquake to your home to make it more likely that your home will be ha bitable after an earthquake, what should we do? both structural and maybe even important non-structural things. >> you hear about how to prepare an earthquake kit and brace your book shelves and water tank and that is important. what you have to be careful is make sure that you are not going the easy things to make yourself feel better. if you have a bad structure, a bad building, then you need to be looking at that and everything that you do to keep your collectables in place is small and compared. if you have taken care of your structure, then there is a lot of stuff that you can do in your house that is non-structural and your chimney and water tank. >> let's talk about what the structural things might be. >> and he is exactly right. you don't want to make the deck chairs safe on the titanic, it is going down, you are going

down, you have to make sure that your house is safe. there are basic things that you need to do including bracing the water heater, not just because of fire hazard but because of the water source and the damage, but basic things are installing anchor bolts, and adding plywood and strapping your beams to column and posts to footings and foundations are really easy things to do and most contractors can do the building department is set up to approve this work, and these are things that every home owner should do, and it is a little harder because you have to get a building permit and hire a contractor. but you want to be able to after a big earthquake to climb in bed that night and pull the covers up and say i don't have to worry about going to a government shelter. >> that is the main focus that it is great to have an earthquake kit to be able to bug out for 72 hours. here is a better idea, stay in your own home and in order to do that you have to be make sure that your structure is okay. if you have a house, the easy

things to do with the wood construction is feasible. if you have a renter or you live in a concrete building, you need to talk to the building own , and make sure they have done their due diligence and find out what the deficiencies are. >> when i have looked at damaged buildings,vy seen that a little bit of investment in time and money and structural work provides great dividends. >> especially if it is the wood frame, typical house that you can do the things that i was talking about, the anchor and the plywood in the first garage area, you know if you refinanced in the last three years, get some of that savings and it is a really good investment. and the other thing that i try to tell people, earthquake insurance is not the solution to the shelter in place, if there is a big earthquake and your building is damaged, you are not in your house, you may be somewhere else, if you work in the city, it is going to be really hard to commute from

sonoma, you want to do what is necessary so that your house is retrofitted and a couple of years of earthquake premium could get you to a level that you could be in the house after a significant earthquake and it may have damage and there is still a shelter in place where you are at home and you are not worried for the government taking care of you and you are living in a place where you can go to work and you want to have your wood frame house is really easy to get to that level. on top of the wood frame house, i mean every wood frame house in the west half of the city have a water tank and the water tank fall over because they are gas fired and start fires. and that is something that you could do for yourself, and for your neighbors and for the whole city is make sure that your water tank is braced. >> if you look at the studies that are predicting on fires, we are going to have a lot of fires and for every water tank that is braced there is a potential of one less fire that the fire department is going to have to fight and we don't want to have any more fires than we need to. so bracing the water heater is the first thing that you want

to do. >> and so easy, and you go on-line and you google, earthquake, water and heater and you google the sites where you can find the details and you can put them out there on the hardware store and you can hire a small contract tore do that for you. that is a couple of hundred bucks, the best investment. if you are in other types of building it is complicated. if you are in a high-rise building you just can't anchor your building down because there are no anchor bolts, but at that point, the tenant should be asking questions of the owner's and the managers about earthquake preparedness >> and don't take the easy answer, oh, our building is safe it was designed to code. that is not the right answer, ask the tough questions and see if you can get a report that has been given to you. >> what is the right question? will i be able to stay in my home after the expected earthquake? is that a good question to ask? >> yeah, you may be more specific if you talk to the owner, if it is not a recent building, if it is ten or 20

years old see if they had an inspection done and there you will have a written before that will tell you all about the structure. >> thanks, pat. >> thanks, harvey. and thanks david for joining us and thank you for joining us on ♪ >> and we're going here to give a blessing for this beautiful new library i'm here because when i went to high school i worked asia library payment in the late 60s and early 70s i thank goodness for ms. jackson for hiring me he learned to swim in the local pool. i also do a people's blessings who o so that when i raise my hand and say something repeat
