we have seen this trend in previous updates as well. as you have heard in the 5ypp, the presentation sponsors are expecting to request most of these delayed projects in the next couple years. next couple years.

this being there. >> funds remaining will be about 35 million, several categories are anticipated and the funds make it for a five year period. how are we meeting our goals? our recent management audit found overall for every dollar we have allocated in prop k., we are averaging between four dollars at seven dollars in local and state federal funds. we found similar number of leveraging opportunities of $5.7 we continue to support project delivery. major projects are complete except the downtown extension. we are supporting the potential for accelerated delivery of many

light rail vehicles. the single largest investment to improve the customer experience and reliability. we are asked separating funds for projects in support of mission zero and replenishing the neighborhood transportation improvement program. please visit my street s.f. if you want to see what other projects are being supported by san francisco sales tax dollars. finally, we make sure that funds are available when projects need them and our strategy is to manage cash flow of the program to minimize financing cost. with each strategic plan updates , we -- financing costs have declined, due primarily to making funds available to replacements and committing our commitment to the project. to give you some project, we anticipate financing costs to be ten% of available funds per project. in this update, we are expecting these costs to be 11%.

we expect this to be lower, as allocations and reimbursements to bleat happen at a slower pace we reuse -- we use conservative assumptions to make sure your sufficient funds for project needs an issue only when we are confident if the sponsor will seek reimbursement. just to recap, revenues are slightly lower. long-term debt needs are slightly higher since we are accelerating reimbursement schedules for some of the larger components of the expenditure plan and we see slightly higher financing costs and a reduction in the capital reserve as we get closer to the end of the program and when you put all this together, we see a modest increase of $11 million to funds available for projects over the life of the program. which is less than half of the% of the total funds available for projects. attachments two n32 the memo, you can see the funds available per category and you can also see which categories are running out of funds.

with that, i can take any questions. >> thank you. are there any questions for staff? seeing none, is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, is there a motion to adopt the 2019 prop kate strategic plan? made by commissioner cohen. we have a different house yet again. rollcall, please. >> on item seven. [roll call] >> we have first approval. >> next item, please. >> adopt the final freeway corridor management study phase two report and author his executive director to amend cooperative -- cooperative agreement numbers with the

california department of transportation for the u.s. 101 i to 80 managed lanes for an additional 150-2,000 and a total amount not to exceed $27,000 and approve a local partnership program for an exchange of funds for the u.s. 101, i to a deep managed lanes project. this is an action item. >> good morning. i am a senior planner with the transportation authority. i am here with a final update on the phase of the transportation authority effort to test the feasibility of management strategies on the freeways to help with more people in the same or fewer vehicles as demand for travel continues to increase this project was last discussed at the april 10th board meeting where we brought initial results. as we all know, congestion on the freeways is bad and getting worse. because this trend of more congestion a slower travel times is only forecasted to continue without taking action, carpools and buses will be stuck in the same traffic as solo drivers, giving them no incentive to take

transit or share the ride. the authority decided to approach this problem by exploring strategies to give high occupancy vehicles time and reality -- reliability advantage and incentivize more people to take the bus and ride together making better use of the freeway capacity. phase one of the study said -- set up goals for an evaluation of options to address freeway congestion in san francisco. as we consider solutions, we keep the studies was just goal in mind. i won't read them all to you, but we believe they reflect the values around san francisco transportation efficiency, reliability, air quality, health , and supporting communities. phase one of the study provided for a focus on travellers beginning or ending their trips in downtown san francisco and eastern neighborhoods. we consider these goals when evaluating options to reduce travel times on freeways. the management strategy includes more than just changes to the physical land out of the lanes

on the freeways. much like we wouldn't implement a red light on city streets without an investment and best service that uses those lanes, we shouldn't and could it -- couldn't implement a carpal lane the lane and policy about who can use it and when are the platform and that sent -- in that centre box there. while the service we can provide , whether that is transit , low-income services, or carpal matching, they are in the right-hand box. these policy decisions must go with the lane. together these come together into a holistic free wait management strategy. the freeway corridor management study focused on testing the feasibility of that platform while identifying the needs to scope the work required to implement the policy. so the study focused on testing the feasibility of the platform or defining what the project could be by identifying free wait services with potential benefits in developing alternatives for them. making good assumptions about the travellers in the corridor

and analysing the potential operations. meanwhile, the study focused on identifying needs and beginning scoping of the policy pieces through community outreach, feedback and coordination with agency partners in the bay area and beyond. let's focus on what the project could be. as a quick refresher, at our previous update, we shared a potential confederation of how to address this challenge by real -- real copyright -- reallocating existing free wait space. not widening the freeway. we believe the idea that widening freeways would harm the communities more than it would help them. the health implications increase greenhouse gas emissions and allowing more vehicles to travel in these corridors into san francisco would be too high. on top of that, it is worth noting we have made a commitment not to widen the freeways and the general plan. this lane diagram offers a closer look at what the proposal entails and was previously shared at the april board meeting.

highlighted in yellow are changes to the existing configuration. potentially striping a new lane from the existing shoulder to allow buses and carpools to bypass the backup at the end of the freeway at the traffic light at fifth and king. finally, at the last update, we share the initial results of the feasibility analysis of how this configuration might perform under various policies. we analyse the lane that you just saw with an operating policy every two person carpal. a third person carpal -- carpool it is worth noting the express lanes are carpool lanes or transit vehicles meeting the minimum occupancy requirements. they always travel for free. while there is an option for others to pay to use the lane if capacity remains with that price of varying depending on how much capacity is available. in addition to the operating policies on the lanes themselves

, the analysis assumed increase transit service on ongoing work to add my bus service on the 101 corridor between san francisco and san jose and adjustments to routes to take advantage of the lanes. these included seven new routes between san francisco and the peninsula and assumes the changes to many mobile services that included the introduction to the park expresses and modifying the service to run all day in both directions via 280. this included continuation of the existing 14 x. service that uses the core door. the final note is it is important to remember that the proposed lane addition recommends an alternative south of the airport and was in place. how did the scenarios perform? the chart on your screen summarizes the performance of each of the alternatives across the goals we mentioned earlier. when we compare the results with our goals, the carpool only scenarios were either in no

better than doing nothing -- nothing or in some cases, worse. many of the challenges of the scenarios come from the fact that involves converting an existing lane. at two person carpal rearranges the lanes the vehicles are using without being able to provide any advantage to carpools or transit and while it results in a underutilized carpal and that while it is great for the few vehicles able to use it, it squeezes the rest of the traffic into the remaining lanes and cause a substantial additional delay for those who aren't using the carpal lane. the express lanes and error performs better than the no build across a majority of the project goals as if able to balance the need for a reliable and free-flowing express lane with minimizing impacts to the remaining lanes. based on those results, what do we recommend and why? the two person carpal looked promising initially as demand modelling showed it has the opportunity to increase the amount of people moved in the corridor of the most out of all

the scenarios. under closer examination, we showed that lane would be approaching capacity on opening day leaving no room for growth in the core door. when we previously showed these results along with our caution in that capacity at the april meeting, the board provided some feedback and concern about how t.n.c.s the impact of these modelled results. on closer inspection, we determined when trips like t.n.c.s with single driver and single passenger, in addition to carpal cheaters, which are usually about 20% in the bay area, the lane would, in reality , break down and be congested on opening day, offering no more incentive to use transit or carpal than doing nothing at all. as a it showed promise and we approach this caution. hov three, or three person carpal divided travel time savings of up to eight minutes over the others. is very poorly utilized.

even taking into account the new transit service and carpool. delays or significant. this configuration also moves fewer people than any other alternative, even fewer people than doing nothing at all. because of the underutilized carpal lane and congested general-purpose lanes. as a result of this poor performance, the this scenario is not recommended. finally, the express lane alternative represents the middle ground between the hov two and hov three scenarios. we can use a variable price as a mention based on demand to ensure the lane is all right -- always about utilized without becoming congested and allowing three trent -- transit and three-person carpool lanes and first. the analysis results bring this middle ground up. enough vehicles are also pulled

out of the remaining general-purpose lane to maintain or improve the travel time in the general-purpose lanes. the scenario also saw the number of people moved in the corridor increase by 40%. as a result, they meet the goal of the study and is the staff recommended alternative in the final report. let's return to the policy of how hard of a strategy. as i mentioned earlier, the implantation side of this study was based around identifying needs and exploring potential strategies. we want to make sure that we build the lane on the needs and desires of the communities impacted by the freeways. this process starts with us. we have held over 30 conversations and meetings with leaders and groups and free wait -- freeway adjacent neighborhoods to introduce the concepts explored in the study and asked for input on what types of questions people would want to see answered going forward. this represents only beginning of what we need to be a concerned city each should their

project advance. we have also engaged with agency partners as well as other regions who are already operating these types of lanes, like los angeles metro are in planning process for other projects. want to learn from our peers about the best practices to achieve the goals of the study by moving more people and fewer vehicles and we want to make sure we are engaged in multiagency solutions for the entire peninsula corridor. we also know it is critical to learn the best and most successful ways of people -- are people approaching it equitably. where are we in the overall process and what are the next steps? this slide illustrates our progress so far and we are exiting the feasibility stage and engaging with caltrans to outline a potential environmental clearance document should the study advance, it would come back several times throughout the various phases with updates and to request approvals, funding and concurrence at each step. throughout, we would maintain a

robust outreach strategy and will perform increasingly detailed analysis including a thorough equity analysis to address some of the questions that have already arisen. so the actions before you today are the next steps in that roadmap. i will provide a summary of the items recommended actions. first, adopt the feasibility study report for the freeway corridor management study phase to watch what which lane conversion express lane as the staff recommended alternative. additional recommendations include continued and more robust studies about how a program may operate including detailed socioeconomic equity, transit, and traffic analyses. second is approval of an amendment to an agreement with caltrans and the amounts of 100 to $50,000 to reimburse their staff for review and oversight as we continue to develop and review these improvements on their highway system. this amendment is fully funded by a previous prop k. finally, approval of a find

exchange between prop k. and the local partnership program. to be able to find those additional detail studies that i mentioned and regal -- eager to begin. we have heard request on this board and in our outreach. that is this transit service detail analysis that i mentioned staff has proposed a prop k. fund exchange. this action would approve the exchange of funds allocated to public works with an equal amount of prop k. dollars resulting in no reductions to street resurfacing. then up to 4.1 million of the lp p. funds would be made available for future phases of this, including those detailed analyses that i mentioned. the exchange is necessary because there is no expenditure plan line that could result directly found this work. staff will return to the board in early 29 teen -- in 2019 to amend it. street resurfacing five-year prioritization program would allocate the funds for the project.

staff also expects this project to be competitive for future rounds of corridor funding and our m3 toll funding. that concludes my presentation. i'm happy to answer any questions. >> speaker-01: is still with us. thank you to the voters of the state of california. with that, i assume that there are going to be a number of questions from commissioners. thank you for that presentation, which we have received in the past and now we have the study before us for adoption. with that, commissioner fewer? >> thank you very much. thank you for the presentation. my district does not border this area, but i wanted to know, do we have any current data on how many vehicles -- how many people are eating vehicles now? how many cars have two people in them and how many cars are single rides and how many have three or more people? did we do any analysis of that? >> yes, we did. in the corridors in san

francisco, 20% of the vehicle to date me that what a person or more requirement including transit, buses, vans or more. it depends on where you look on the freeway system. three or more people is about 3- 5% of the vehicles today. >> and then the rest are single people in cars? >> correct. >> thank you. have you done this analysis along this corridor? >> yes. >> okay. those are the numbers for this corridor. >> those are the numbers for san francisco on 101 and 280 in san francisco. >> did you take this on a weekday or did you do it on a weekend? >> tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. >> and during commute hours? >> correct. >> thank you. >> commissioner brown? >> thank you. thank you for the report. i have a couple of questions. the sites -- besides enhancement of bus services for the three

line serving communities of concern, what are some other things that can be done to promote equity for the folks who are in these communities of these proposed lanes that they travel through? >> that is a great question. as i mentioned, part of the work we are doing is partnering with partner agencies. that has come out of the outreach discussions to retweet where one of the first things people ask for is improvement in transit service. that is why we lead with that. we have done great work around other programs that include using the revenue that is collected from the pricing to either provide toll subsidies to low income travellers who aren't able to use transit or fund even more transit beyond what would otherwise be available in the lane. >> something like helping people with fast track? >> correct. los angeles' program has a monthly maintenance fee that is a barrier to entry for a lot of people of limited income. l.a. has a program where if you

are eligible for any state assistance program, you can get a fast track at no cost, preloaded with $25 that has no monthly maintenance fee. additionally, this is open to everyone, not just low income houses. if someone writes frequently, they are rewarded by receiving total credit for free onto that fast track. if they usually take transit but they need to be with their kids after school or have an important meeting and need to drive that day, the options available to them are there to take advantage of this facility. >> thank you. >> commissioner he? >> thank you. when you did this analysis, did you look at the impact of whether any of these scenarios would increase or decrease in vehicles coming into san francisco? the one that was recommended, i could make the assumption because of the better flow, that

we will see even more vehicles driven into san francisco. i don't know if you did any analysis in that regards. >> yes, we did. and the changes, for all the scenarios are small. within half a% overall for each one. i think part of it is because we are not building a new lane. i would definitely agree that would be a real concern if we were are proposing to add a new lane like a san mateo county is doing south and putting additional capacity into the city. wet all three of the proposals are planning to do is reallocate the existing capacity. there really isn't additional room for more vehicles to come in, but we are giving priority to those vehicles that have more people in them. either way, across all three scenarios, there is not a significant difference in the total number of vehicles travelling in the car door. >> thank you. >> commissioner cohen?

>> thank you for your presentation. i appreciate it pretty greatly. this is a dicey topic and it is one that needs to be delved and with some level of sensitivity. cultural awareness, from my perspective, i am viewing this from my environmental justice, social justice as well as public health blends. as a reminder to everyone, district ten has two freeways. 101 and 280 bisect through the neighborhood. i am particularly interested with a lot of the particulate manager and dust that is emitted , because of traffic. i'm interested in decreasing traffic. unnecessary traffic. however, i'm also cautious about the cost of putting a fee on travel through a neighborhood.

this is what i mean when i say dicey. it is very sensitive. i was fortunate to go down and do a tour in southern california and learn a little bit more about how their tolls are working. one of the things i am interested in particularly as i'll be voting yes on the site and because i think we need more equity studies. we need to be paying very close attention and i am grateful that the t.a. has demonstrated that level of commitment to paying attention to the details. to making sure that whatever we pass, or whatever moves forward, we are not leaving people behind and we are not paying careful attention to the people who are most closely effected that are living in and around freeways. your district is not far from the freeway. supervisor can post us district, there is something that really connects and unites all of us around this study. i am grateful and i will be supportive. i hope other colleagues will be supportive.

this is a contract to continue to oversee the continued study for equity. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other commissioners who have questions or comments? seeing none, are the members of the public who would like to testify on this matter, please come forward to. this is your chance. go ahead. >> i live in district ten. i just have to watch for short points because i'm very concerned about this project. it seems like its a project catering to people who do not live in a city that want to pass through back especially the tech company shuttles and what not to and i also wanted to add on about the effect it will have on low income people. i know you mentioned there will be some type of subsidy for those who qualify for government

assistance programs, but that doesn't help people who are one step above that in low income and don't qualify and are one paycheck away from being homeless and things like this will affect households dramatically. especially in district ten. and as far as well-being, who is the well-being for? the district ten only wanted to get over to the main parts of the city where it serves the 101 and the 280 and until that district is represented and those types of considerations are done, i think that is what should be the priority. we do not have three people that can fill a car in our district to ride over to city hall or to the hospital or to go shopping. so i would like that to be a

priority and not people who want to pass through real quick and not deal with the problems they incurred when they brought these businesses in and were not held accountable for our infrastructure. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. we are a transportation and land use organization in the bay area and we support the motion on the table here today. we believe that, as was mentioned with the report today, traffic is getting worse. it's not good for anybody. buses as well as carpools that are stuck in traffic. moving forward, it is only going to get worse for traffic and congestion. we believe that managed lanes can move more people with fewer cars and help alleviate congestion and promote equity if done well or done right. we believe they could provide a

model for the region. of something we have been advocating over the last decade at transform at the regional and local levels. as far as a multipronged approach to getting managed lanes right. first and foremost, conversion. going with the three plus hot approach, as you saw through the study, is going to produce the best results and coupled with the rich provision of transit and mobility strategies to make sure we move way more people with fewer cars. and finally, the equity piece being important, as already noted today. and with three key components that we see. one is access and making sure that folks have equal access to the lanes and there are no barriers. affordability, and the provision of rich transportation. we are about to release a report on pricing and equity and we

look forward to sharing that with you as soon as it is released. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. public comment is closed. colleagues, can we take these together, or would you like me to do them one by one? there are three actual actions that are before us on item number 8. i'm happy to take them as a whole if someone wants to make a motion to that effect. is there a motion to adopt item number 8, all three of its parts made by commissioner cohen. and seconded. we have yet another different house. on this item, a roll call, please. [roll call]

>> we have first approval. >> next item, please. >> item nine is awarded two your professional services contract with design consulting in an amount not to exceed $420,000 for planning and technical services for the connect s.f. streets and freeways study. >> good afternoon, commissioners i am a senior planner here at the t.a. we issued the r.f.p. on august 30th of this year. earned the freeways project will develop projects and policies for streets and freeways that will meet the needs and our vision and goals by the year 2050. we took steps to encourage participation from small and disadvantaged business enterprises, including advertising in our local newspapers. we received two proposals for -- in response to the r.f.p. and we are recommending msa design services to receive the contract

excuse me. the m.s.a. exceeded the goals of 14% and they are including two teams that will meet a 34% goal. the contract will be funded by state and transportation -- federal service present -- transportation funds as well as prop k. funds and the c.e.c. recommended this item at the october 24th board meeting. >> thank you. are there any questions from commissioners? if there any public comment? public comment is closed. is there a motion to adopt -- aboard the two year professional service contract made by commissioner fewer and seconded by commissioner brown? we have the same house for once. same call. the item is approved on first reading. next item, please.

>> item ten is award promotional services for options to extend a three-year additional one year. to consulting in an amount not to exceed $480,000 for computer network and maintenance services this is an action item. >> will you present? >> good morning, commissioners. i'm sorry. i do not see the deputy director for technology data and analysis here to present this item. >> he was here. >> he was here a moment to go. i am more than happy to present if the commissioners will have me. this is a proposal for i.t. services. we have utilized a consultant instead of utilizing staff as we found it has been more cost effective and beneficial for us to have someone on call versus having a full-time equipment position. we really -- we release the

proposal back in the summer. i am happy to report we had five proposals come in for the services. we are looking to extend services for a two year agreement with three amendments. the percentage was approximately 15% and we received -- the proposal came in at 84%. staff included on this panel were a mix of t.a. staff with multiple divisions. this is funded by all prop k. funds. this e.a.c. provided a unanimous support for this item. i am more than happy to answer any questions. >> any questions or comments from commissioners? seeing none. public comment is closed. is there a motion to award this contract? >> same house, same call. the item is adopted on first reading. his are in the introduction new items?

is there any general public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed and to the t.a. is adjourned. .

>> it's great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with. >> i am desi, chair of economic development for soma filipinos.

so that -- [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists, and it's also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. >> i studied the bok chase choy her achbl heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy. working at i-market is amazing. you've got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. >> when i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of

filipino food, it was like oh, wow, that's the closest thing i've got to home, so, like, i'm going to try everything. >> fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. i haven't tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. >> the binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. but here, we put a twist on it. why not have nutella, rocky road, we have blue berry. we're not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese.

>> we try to cook food that you don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us

bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally. >> i'm alex, the owner of the lumpia company. the food that i create is basically the filipino-american experience. i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the different things that i put in are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it wasn't the poerk and shrimp

shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia. there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a

tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers. when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve.

>> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event. undiscovered is a great tool

for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and

empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy, >> 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. 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. 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 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?
