10:00 pm
aggressive one. this is twice that. so, they talked about environmental effects in various aspects like traffic or air quality. increasing, as you would expect for each additional layer of housing construction in the various scenarios. so, if it's going to be double the most aggressive housing scenario, down there must be a substantial environmental effect. by the way we are not in the business of doing eir. we are just community people. it is the department's obligation to do the eir and to do the accumulative analysis, and to figure out whether it various, whether we are even here now in terms of building. they don't even have that information in the pipeline. about how much is built, and titled and under review, as a
10:01 pm
readable piece of information. how can they possibly do a proper accumulative analysis? i want to go to the mitigations for the susceptible receptors which would be the school. i was just recently given a little blurb from a document saying that under berkeley hill's preservation, the city of berkeley, california supreme court state, that a potentially significant environmental effect may to be due to unusual circumstances, for exceptions to apply in borrowing from the guideline section. unusual circumstances could be schools and-- >> thank you very much.
10:02 pm
>> after the hearing has been closed. >> okay. so, at this hearing has now been held and is now closed. this matter is in the hands of the board of supervisors. >> thank you so much. i want to address some of the public comment that i heard today on both sides of this issue. the people and the residents who came out from the mission, supporting this appeal, i just want to say, that i hear you. that the pain that's been caused from the uneven development in the mission, up so much luxury housing, and so little affordable housing, has decimated the community and has changed it in ways that are unfair to low income and the
10:03 pm
latino community. i just want to recognize that, and i want to acknowledge that i work every day to try to mitigate the impacts of this rapid displacements, and really just, incredible change in the community, that is positive for some, but very, very destructive to the culture in the neighborhood, for many others, and mostly lower income folks. i just want to thank you for participating in the process. i want to thank you for fighting for your community. i want to say that i know that nobody is saying that newcomers and change is not welcome. but what i often hear from you is that is inevitable in any city. but not when it pushes out and decimates a community that is already vibrant, and they are, and thriving. i just want to thank you all for participating in the project.
10:04 pm
for those who came out and talked about, you know, their opposition to the appeal, you know, i want to say that the mission community, perhaps more than any other community in this city, are the first to fight for and beg for, and scream for, and come up with a creative initiative, and push the safety to build as many, 100% affordable projects as you can possibly fit in one little neighborhood. the idea that this community thing, it is not true. in fact,, the term originated because people didn't want affordable housing in their community. the mission is a complete opposite. they are saying build. they are saying build market rate housing, but when you build enough below market rate housing for the people that have lived
10:05 pm
in this neighborhood. i just want to say that this is not a community thing saying no to housing. there has been tons of development happening in the mission, and this community welcomes that development but wants enough of that housing for the people that have lived there. and so i think it's inaccurate to say that the activism in this neighborhood do not support housing or dense housing being built in this neighborhood. and then, secondly, i want to address this particular project. you know, i heard from tim cole and, you know, a travesty that is actually happening. it is a very important tool that we have in the city, to ensure environmental impacts are mitigated. when development happens, and to say that that -- taking that law seriously, agile using that law to analyse impact is somehow misplaced.
10:06 pm
you know what i think is misplaced? is that they have no intention of building housing on this sight. he is exploitingroce p for his own personal gain. he knows he can get more money by selling this property if it is entitled, then if it is not. he told me that on the phone. he has every intention of selling this property. he has no intention of building housing they are. let's be honest about that. let's be honest that this is about getting top dollar for a piece of property, and exploiting whatever process there is in order to do that. let's not pretend that somehow, by using the law to make sure that the neighborhood is protected from environmental impacts is somehow an exploitation of the project, but what he is doing is not. and then, finally, i would say
10:07 pm
that i too believe that we need to build more housing all over the city. i believe the mission in district nine has taken a fair share of that need to, but we are willing to do more, especially when it is 100% affordable or a large portion of affordable housing. but we are going to make sure that the community is protected in the process. we are going to analyse all the environmental impacts on the project and we are going to fight for community benefits. and that is all what is under the law. i think that the majority of that review and this project was sufficient but i find one area that it wasn't sufficient. that is particularly the area of the shadow impact on the two schoolyards. the intention of the shared schoolyard program, and the city and county of san francisco is
10:08 pm
that all schoolyards, all schoolyards will be become shared schoolyards and open to the public when school is out. and there has been, in my opinion, not enough analysis as to how the shadow of this impacts of this project will impact that public open space. and so, i am going to move to table item 36 and approve item 37 and 38 on the narrow issue of whether or not, of wanting additional study and analysis of the shadow impact on the two projects. i'm sorry, the two schoolyards. that are impacted by the project. >> okay. she has made a motion to table item 36 and approve item 37 and
10:09 pm
338 with specific findings. is there a second? seconded by supervisor peskin. please call the role. >> role mac -- [roll call] there are 11 yes. >> the motion is approved. let's go to our next 3:00 pm special order. >> items 39 through 40 are the board of supervisors sitting at the committee as a whole.
10:10 pm
it was scheduled pursuant of the approval of a motion made during the meeting of june 12th, 2018. item 39 is a public hearing for the board to sit as a committee as a whole to consider the proposed ordinance which is a subject matter of item 40. calling and providing for a special election to be held on the city -- in the city on tuesday, november 6, 2018 for the purpose of submitting to the voters a proposition to incur the following bonded debt of the city and county of the amount of 425 million, to finance the strengthening and repair of the embarcadero seawall and other critical infrastructure and related costs necessary for the foregoing purposes. >> okay. , we are sitting as a committee as a whole to discuss a proposed general obligation bonds for the seawall and related infrastructure. let's open this hearing. this item is now open for public comment on item number 39 or 40. you have up to two minutes, if any member of the public would
10:11 pm
like to comment on this item specifically. okay, seeing no public comment,. >> thank you supervisors. i am a board member of the san francisco legal -- league of conservation voters. we are an all volunteer organization whose mission is to promote environmental protection through active participation and political systems. we promote conservation and protection of natural resources, environmental justice and sustainability. i'm here today on behalf of the san francisco league of conservations board and to support the bond measure to create a more sustainable and resilient waterfront. the seawall supports key utility networks and transportation infrastructure. for the munimobile, bart, very,
10:12 pm
bikes and pedestrian. this sea level will rise and we have climate change and possible damaging earthquakes. these are all immediate threats and risks to their promenade and our economy. rebuilding the seawall will help address this threat at hand. thank you for this opportunity to voice our support, to protect our environment and the san francisco waterfront. >> thank you for your comments. neck speaker, please. >> i a a northern market neighborhood. i am an activist. this project, as it is currently composed, if you are going to be evidence-based and based on the evidence, the known evidence of the situation, this project is so grossly insufficient to meet the needs of the next 100 years. it is a joke.
10:13 pm
>> thank you neck speaker, please. >> recently i was watching educational shows pertaining to the high school ages in the area of geographical locations of places like alaska, and because of the global warming, it has been predicted that sea levels will rise within the next 10-15 years and a lot of flooding is going to take place, and a lot of property that is owned in the south, and also on shorelines will be flooded. so we need that wall to be reinforced, and raised up higher to be prepared for when this sea level rises because of all of the melting of the ice where polar bears are located. this is a very important situation at a needs to be built. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public you would like to comment on these items? seeing then, public comment is
10:14 pm
now closed. this hearing has been held. all right. colleagues, on the item, madame clerk, please call the role. >> on item 40... [roll call] there are 11 yes. >> it passes unanimously on the first meeting. madam clerk, please read public comment. >> at this time the public may address the entire board of supervisors for up to two minutes. you may speak about the may 15th board meeting minutes and item 43 on the adoption without reference to committee. public comment is not allowed to

wear an item has been subject to public comment pursuant to the board rules. direct year marks the board as a whole and not to individual supervisors and not to the audience. if you like to display your document on the overhead projector, please clearly state that to us and remove the document when you would like the screen to return to live coverage of the meeting. >> for speaker, please. >> now is the time for big change to come about. we have a new mayor coming and we have a lot of business to take care of, and i want to open up by addressing the press meeting that took place in front of city hall pertaining to the employment discrimination, and also discrimination in general against black people, african-american people. we started getting discriminated here in the city and county of san francisco during the year of 1964 when the civil rights act,
10:16 pm
that year, got put into effect by demonstrations and speeches that were made by dr martin luther king. discriminatory practice and tricking devices were applied to black people by justin herman. he did the ethnic cleansing of my nationality of the people of the film our area and as a result, 15% population a black people that existed in the fillmore area is down to two and a half-3.5% now. people outside of complaining about the difference of treatment that they are receiving, and even when we protest, we still have a low amount of people that are stressing how they are being on the receiving end of discriminatory practices and tricking devices because of their skin colour. you have other nationalities or even joining in. very much so in the same manner that i come and speak up for other nationalities who are being violated. you watch me speak up for rape victims, you've watched me speak
10:17 pm
up for it's hispanics in the mission district and i spoke up for people who are at doing in-home care who haven't even been paid for services. now it is time for me to speak up more for my own nationality. i am moving to have a hearing pertaining to the ethnic cleansing in the fillmore area and i moved to have a hearing on the department of public health because of the amount of females that are black who have been discriminated in the health department. i can't believe the number of people who have complained about barb garcia. i want to hear it on both of those topics. >> thank you for your comments. neck speaker, please. [speaking foreign language]
10:18 pm
>> i would like to tell you, it is big time for you to control one district. now you have 11 districts. i know that's very hard for you, and i hope to see calc after 30 years, 33 years i am here to see
10:19 pm
a biased mayor, to help you. listen to me, i am no joke. the people, you put them in the shuttle and steal their food. i have witnessed it. i have the name. i will give you it. we cry to have it and make it shorter. the manager and employee is still [indiscernible]. i bring it 55 turkeys to feed the homeless -- homeless next-door and they steal it. everyplace want to do that. look here. even our [indiscernible] said you are the great for the position of work as manager. as mayor derek london, try to understand.
10:20 pm
we need to have five minutes from you when you are becoming mayor to speak with the people behind me, and to know the problems they have and try to resolve. five minutes with every one of us, one time or two times a month. same like willie brown did before. a good successful job if you do that. second, try to understand, you have a supervisor who used to work with you, now you are bigger than them because you have become the mayor of the city. >> thank you for your comments. neck speaker, please. >> supervisors my name is bradley wheat fire. i wanted to comment on the process of vetting changes that are coming in this budget, in
10:21 pm
regard to the san francisco public library. earlier today you stood up for our immigrants, our undocumented sisters and brothers, and i applaud that. the public library has asked to include rfid, radio frequency id into this budget. what does that say to our un- documented sisters and brothers? they will not be able to use the library. that is going to give a level of our government, this lawless, federal layer an opportunity, in realtime and in documentation, to go after these members of our community. we cannot not serve everyone. and if we are going to do rfid in the library, then we need to
10:22 pm
serve no one, because discriminating against undocumented sisters and brothers is unacceptable. the same process as with the cumulative stealth shutdown of evening hours. several years ago, my union participated in leaflets to defend monday nights and other evening hours. fifty-one% of people surveyed want evening hours. the library, through a stealth proposal is going to shut down hours in ten branches. all of the hours at sunset and all of the hours at a number of our other branches. this is across the city. that $3.4 million that is being wasted on rfid which doesn't give them any new technology that isn't already taken care of business, it is just a new gizmo. as you said in the budget committee -- committee, is thi this--
10:23 pm
>> ti wife your comments. neck speaker, please. >> good afternoon members of the board. my name is alan jones. for quite some time, i have accused the san francisco city hall of being racist against it's a black community, i also, since this last election have evidence of san francisco being more racist despite the fact of the votes of this last election. with that said, i will be bringing forth ten egregious stories of where san francisco city leaders have conducted racist acts against members of the black community. one such act is so egregious
10:24 pm
that once the attention of the nba commissioner gets a hold of it, the golden state warriors will not be able to play one game in san francisco until this egregious act is taking care of. which is ongoing. next week, i will begin my ten stories, 21 minutes each, understanding that there will be a break. but the first one, which is number 10 on the list is about ten girls up at the san francisco juvenile hall. >> thank you for your comments. neck speaker, please.
10:25 pm
>> ladies and gentlemen of the audience, and commissioners. supervisors, good afternoon. for the record, my name is emilio. i've spoken before this board many times in the past. i am here today for one reason. before i start, is that if you guys can elevate those t.v. screens 4 feet, you can read them in the back row. you can't read them outside of that. i would like to congratulate london breed at her blowout contest with mark leno. it is nice to be a window -- a winner instead of a loser. i would like to bring to your attention today, though, the problem we have in the taxi business. i think aaron peskin pushed us into the fda's ff -- s.f. m.t.a. it has been a disaster for the
10:26 pm
past nine years. it gets worse every year. presently, they have instituted almost a million dollar project to pay a consulting firm to tell us once again what we are doing wrong. every proposal that they have put before us -- before us in the past nine years has been a disaster. medallion sales is just one aspect of it. i, for one driver, i'm totally fed up with the whole situation. i decided to start writing letters to a civil grant journey -- jury, to see if we can get an investigation into the correlation between the civil service commission, the transmitting project, the sfo commission, and this board. we have gone nowhere as taxi drivers in the past 20 years.
10:27 pm
while we now have a mayor that has the highest salary in the united states, we have a police chief with the highest salary in the united states pushing 400,000 a year, and we are back to where we were in 1980. >> thank you. the sergeant will come by and pick that up from you. thank you. comments. next speaker, please. >> hello. supervisors, good evening. i'm here to tell you, i'm a taxi driver and a medallion holder. they totally crushed our business. i am here for your attention. our taxi business, what is going on.
10:28 pm
i think the city also doesn't mind the half of the company. they also tell us our businesses crashed and medallion owners are suffering. we look for your help. please look at our situation. we buy the medallion for $250,000. please, if you do not want to help us, give us our money back and take your medallion. thank you so much. >> thank you for your comments. speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i have a medallion for $250,000. i'm speaking regarding medallions. since they have taken over the administration of the taxi
10:29 pm
business, it is declining. they achieve san francisco taxi disaster. they have... and blessed of the cab company with 3,000 medallions. it made as to throw out taxi medallions to the bank. because sfmta providers are sharing their choices to the public. they never considered taxi drivers as part of the public, and they want us to drive empty. they are committed to the bank. the refusal to buy back the medallion is a violation. we lost our business income.
10:30 pm
so we can't make the medallion payments. i believe me. i'm went to the bank today to make a two month payment. and made me nervous in my notes. we do not have other choices to make medallion payments. please make an amendment to the taxi medallion by back and to refund money back he was as soon as possible, and compensate the drivers for their loss. we are losing business for almost four years. we want-- >> thank you. thank you it, sir. thank you fear comments. next speaker, please. >> hello. i am a yellow cab driver.
10:31 pm
i have been driving -- driving a cab since 1997. the city started selling the medallions in 2010. that's tenant -- that time they said you buy them italian for $250,000, or we will -- there will be no list for a free medallions. you buy it or you are out of the list. we bought the medallions for $250,000 and then huber and lift jumped in. they did not protect our business. after that, they sold them for hundred $50,000 for other people who wanted to buy. why charge $250,000 for cost for the people who applied after us? they did $125,000. that is a total injustice. my request is please buy back the medallions for us -- from us or give us our money back. i'm not asking for all the money
10:32 pm
i paid, you just pay us our principal money back to us and take medallion back. second thing, i have a request. i am a cab driver and a work night time. this, i pick up two working people. and i went to the mission district on 19 and mission. they didn't pay my fair. i said, you know, i will tell you the police station will not pay the fair. they said a bad word to my indian race, also. they opened the door and jumped out. i don't put glasses on for fashion. look at my face over here. it burned my skin and i had to drive to the general hospital.
10:33 pm
thank god those doctors took care of my i. >> thank you for your comments. thank you. thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> i need the cover, please. >> okay. if you see this, i am a community activist for 29 years in san francisco. living 15 years in bayview hunter's point. what you see here, first of all, congratulations to yourself london breed in regards to your victory. i am happy that this is going forth. the spirit of truth, we need to see women of dignity and integrity. she ran a fair race.
10:34 pm
she ran a decent race. she ran a race without being faked, without being cunning, without being devious. i want to say that what we have observed here in san francisco was shocking. racism is truly alive. i was never naïve to that, and neither are we. but to have a board that say they are of justice and fighting ethnic examples to be principles of integrity, and to do what was done in this race, i can see why it was meant for me to be on the same. i want to talk in regards the bayview opera house. on october 21st, there was a pimp awards. you see, did you see that? yes. that's at the bayview opera house. a pimp ball was given. to say that we were the best
10:35 pm
assets. no way would it be at the opera house. a little 8-year-old boy saw this image. he came with the horror on the left-hand side. a black women, is a horror on the left-hand side. and the first bank coat at the opera house. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i think everybody knows who i am. first of all, congratulations being mayor, mayor london breed. and also congratulations --
10:36 pm
thank you for announcing the committee on the taxi medallion issue. why we keep coming here? people are asking so much. they have not invested a penny into this one. they are asking for the residence and asking for every kind of help. but we are not asking those things. we are only asking what we have invested in. -- that is all we are asking back. we don't want to be a part of this issue anymore. and we need your help. we are going to keep coming and we will keep asking. let's be honest one time for the taxi drivers.
10:37 pm
why the taxi driver is not a part of community? the web of things running here, i'm assuming the cabdriver is a kind of alien, and have been following somewhere unwanted. if you don't like this unwanted alien, then just shut down the taxi and the alien will disappear. no need to kill them. with different rules and regulations. the one is getting free medallion and the other is paying $250,000. thank you very much. i hope you will keep a deep look-- >> thank you. thank you for your comment next speaker, please.
10:38 pm
>> i am with the taxi drivers. they got a goldman sachs deal but that san francisco government was a goldman sachs, not very good. we should be able to help them. congratulations mayor elect, london breach. before we leave, i want to go back to the meeting where we said no to $80 million from the state government for a new jail, when 60, 40-6 a% of the involvement with the police was basically with mentally challenged people. emotionally challenged people. the less fortunate, and we said no to that because we don't think we needed that. i think in your next position,
10:39 pm
you might be able to do something for the city that increases people that are in jail, and can help their dignity. and help our community, and help your families and friends. i know you have a special visi vision. i would like for you to team up with supervisor kim. probably the point person in this city who knows exactly what is happening on the streets and what needs to be done to help these people. i think jail is probably the worst thing to do. if we can come up with a plan, if you can work together, it would be lovely to get this do done. we will help our communities. thank you and good luck. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please.
10:40 pm
>> thank you. president breed, ladies and gentlemen of the board, i am a voluntary psychiatric outpatient in the city for over a decade. last week i read to you from a law journal. along with you about some quotations by a psychiatrist basically saying that involuntary outpatient treatment means they get to take away constitutional rights of our citizens. and i asked you, are we ruled by loss? are we to be ruled by laws, or are we to be ruled about -- by doctors? because their decisions are far from infallible. as shown by the fact that they changed depending on which dr you ask. if you take the same patient, one doctor will say they have a serious mental illness.
10:41 pm
they are psychotic. another doctor will say no, they are not psychotic. they do not have a serious mental illness. they have a personal disorder and another doctor will give you yet another answer. we are holding people post as constitutional rights on this basis. i refer to you sociological research to the effect that significant factors in that decision is a social distance between the doctor and the patient. what social distance -- distance means is race. it means gender. it means of sexual orientation. it means age. and so, by funding citywide case management with voluntary outpatient treatment of over a million dollars a week, you are finding racism. whatever you say about tearing down streets and statutes, you are finding racism at a high rate.
10:42 pm
>> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> i think you can actually put the date of the chinese involved in american wars quite a bit earlier. there is a case where people were living in mexico as early as the 16th century. i want to do some numerology. because the christian guy isn't here, i will fill in for him. mind will not require a belief in faith but a force powerful enough to destroy the whole world will save a hundred 44,000 people. there will be less of belief in my numerology. on this day, there have been some very big changes in
10:43 pm
american history at certain points where the tide has turned dramatically. and parties came into being and other parties disappeared, you know. john adams was one point. his son, john quincy adams was the approximate end of the democratic republican party. of course, the civil war with republicans, and, you know, the depression. another part where the country was going on and off hand direction and change dramatically with that new deal. you probably maybe know this, there his exactly 22 years between lincoln and fdi. there was 72 years between washington and lincoln. there were 14 presidents between washington and licked it -- lincoln. and 14 presidents between lincoln and fdr. that 72 years ended in 2,004 and
10:44 pm
we have yet to see a really great president. it seems like our system needs something like this every 72 years. something like that. put it back in line. >> thank you. thank you. before he speaks, are there any other members of the public who would like to address the board during general public comment? please come up to you're right. next speaker, please. >> hello. good evening. i am the director of the library users association. i feel a little bit like bedtime stories at camp at 615. congratulations to all of those who ran, or whether you ran or did not. we care about the city being sanctuary city. we hear about privacy measures
10:45 pm
being introduced for the members of the public benefits. what is the meaning of that if we allow the library to impinge on people post as privacy and enable the tracking of not only what people are reading, but also there is tracking throughout the e.f.f. that they have mentioned, and described in its writings at the rfid location which the library wants to install. it will enable the tracking on a selective basis of where people go with their items, whether or not the person tracking cares about what the title is. i felt encouraged by the first meeting of the budget and finance committee through hearing about people post as objections there. i think it stays that way. and i would like to give you
10:46 pm
this letter from the electronic frontier notation and aclu which is a very strongly opposed to the implementation of rfid. that is $3.4 million at the library that could be much better used for many other things like more open hours in the evenings and other times. and other things. both the aclu northern california have opposed and continue to oppose the use of rfid technology in libraries because of its very significant privacy and free speech concerns. you can learn more from them, and also from library users association. please show the letter. >> thank you fear comments. madam president? >> supervisor breed: are there any other members of the public would like to provide public comment? seeing non, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, please read the
10:47 pm
item without adoption of reference to the committee. >> it is a motion to concur in the continuation of the declaration of local emergency by the mayor and in the actions taken, to me to the emergency of flooding affecting the san francisco public utilities commission, and the moccasin reservoir. >> can we take this item, same house, same colloquy that motion is approved unanimously. on behalf of supervisors, for
10:48 pm
the millions of black people held as slaves he was names we will never know, and for those children and family suffering because of the immigrant family separation policies. >> supervisor breed: thank you. colleagues, that brings us to the end of our agenda. is there any other business before us today? >> that concludes our business for today. >> supervisor breed: thank you everyone. we are adjourned.
10:49 pm
>> hi, i'm lawrence corn field. welcome to building san francisco. we have a special series, stay safe. we're looking at earthquake issues. and today we're going to be talking with a residential building owner about what residential building owners and tenants can and should do before earthquakes and after earthquakes. ♪ ♪ >> we're here at this wonderful spur exhibit on mission street in san francisco and i have with me today my good friend george. thanks for joining me, george.
10:50 pm
and george has for a long time owned residential property here in san francisco. and we want to talk about apartment buildings and what the owner's responsibilities might be and what they expect their tenants to do. and let's start by talking a little bit about what owners can do before an earthquake and then maybe after an earthquake. >> well, the first thing, lawrence, would be to get together with your tenants and see if they have earthquake insurance or any renters insurance in place because that's going to be key to protecting them in the event of a quake. >> and renters insurance, there are two kinds of insurance. renters insurance coffers damage to goods and content and so forth. earthquake insurance is a separate policy you get after you get renters insurance through the california earthquake authority, very inexpensive. and it helps owners and it helps tenants because it gives relocation costs and it pays their rent. this is a huge impact on building owners. >> it's huge, it really is.
10:51 pm
you know, a lot of owners don't realize that, you know, when there is an earthquake, their money flow is going to stop. how are they going to pay their mortgages, how are they going to pay their other bills, how are they going to live? >> what else can property owners do in residential rental housing before an earthquake? >> well, the first thing you want to do is get your property assessed. find out what the geology is at your site. get an expert in to look at structural and nonstructural losses. the structural losses, a lot of times, aren't going to be that bad if you prepare. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. get in there and get your property assessed and figure it out. >> so, what is a nonstructural issue that might cause losses? >> well, you know, pipes, for instance. pipes will whip around during an earthquake. and if they're anchored in more numerous locations, that whipping won't cause a breakage that will cause a flood. >> i've heard water damage is a
10:52 pm
major, major problem after earthquakes actually. >> it is. that's one of the big things. a lot of things falling over, ceilings collapsing. but all of this can be prevented by an expert coming in and assessing where those problem areas and often the fixes are really, really cheap. >> who do you call when you want to have that kind of assessment or evaluation done? >> the structural engineering community is great. we have the structural engineers association of northern california right here in san francisco. they're a wealth of information and resources. >> what kinds of things might you encourage tenants to do besides simply get tenants renters insurance and earthquake insurance, what else do you think tenants should do? >> i think it's really important to know if they happen to be in the building where is the safest place for them to go when the shaking starts. if they're out of the building, whats' their continuity plan for connecting with family? they should give their
10:53 pm
