from a major event. for us, it's earthquake. for new orleans it was a hurricane. but really, you know, this gets to the heart of recovery, you know, the project goal that we're talking about here is how we can quickly recover from a major earthquake by assessing and improving the restoration and performance of lifelines. so, one of the steps that we've been working on since then is getting together with the lifeline providers. this is a list of the different agencies that are involved. seven of them are city departments. most all of them are here today. and we really appreciate the help that they provided. i think this is -- it's a hard thing for agencies to come and tell you what they're expected performance is going to be after an earthquake. it's a hard thing to say what they think the goals should be after a major event. so we really appreciate the people are stepping forward and

we really think this is going to be important to understanding how we work together. i should mention that in 2014, we did complete a lifeline dependency study that looked at how dependent the different providers are on each other. as we know, if you don't have electricity, it's hard to run your mta system and so forth. if you don't have water, it's hard for people to stay stay in their homes or at work. so those things are important. and the committee that we put together has been facing those things. actually, the study led to the defining of the sea wall, that the port of san francisco is managing and we're really proud that voters also recognize the importance of that with the passage of the bond in november. so the performance goals here, i

sort of mentioned already, but i'll quickly go through. it's really you know, how do we ensure that the public understands what our utility and how quickly it will take pg and e or our water to get back up and running. if we understand the current performance and how they work together, we can plan for improved performance in the future. we expect we're going to be meeting with focus groups and members of the public. many of the members here, to talk about their expectations as well. the outcomes that we're looking to provide, you know, a set of structured interviews that i'll explain later. multi-sector workshops. again, you can have a fantastic system, you know, we could have it all set and ready to go, but if the power isn't there, they're not going to go. and they have only so much control over the power. those are the types of discussions that we expect to

have at these multi-sector workshops. and the idea is that, while it can be hard to compare different types of utilities, we can come up with a common framework that allows that to happen. and then work together. so, some of the additional outcomes are looking at hard and soft strategies, thinking about infrastructure, as well as processes and systems. policies that the city has and so forth, or that the different utility providers have. and a pretty -- what we're striving for is detailed implementation plan that we can take and it can be incorporated into the capital plan, into the emergency response plan and other tools. so here is set. we had the level set. so we're using the two rather extreme examples, or scenarios. and we're asking the utilities

to provide us information on how they would be able to respond to a 7.9 earthquake, similar to what we faced in 06. and 7.0. we're somewhat unique we're in the middle of two rather large earthquake faults. so there is a fair amount of information on both of these scenarios, which we believe gave us a head start in moving this forward. the approach, some of you may remember, spur in 2009, did their report on resilient city that set out performance targets. the national institute of science and technology. this followed that up and have put out their own performance expectations for utilities, housing and other types of infrastructure. and then the university of british columbia, in vancouver, has put together sort of a framework that we're using,

which again, enables us to compare different utilities through structured interview process. so we've done all 15 of the interviews happened over the past six months. what is coming from that are restoration time lines and they're going to look like this, where the blue line is the current performance, the yellow line is the goal, and how do we -- we recognize it's going to be simplification of the complex systems, but we'll have narrative. by doing that, we'll be able to develop a plan. it's an example where you take the interview information and take sector information, you know, on how much we know about for instance, fire following an earthquake and we layer those two together to produce the report and the recommendations. so the time line is here.

the green bar there at the top is the cross sector workshop. we welcome questions that people may have. this is going to be primarily a place for people to be able to have conversations about their different systems and how they work together. following that, we'll produce an action plan and the intent is that a year from today or so, we'll have implementation plan we can bring back to the committee with some specific recommendations on not just how our lifelines are performing, but how to improve their performance. with that, i will take questions.

>> the don't of technology and -- department of technology went after grant funding for sat lie wi-fi trailers to support communications and especially applications that rely on communications like what's ap app tt. and we received funding for that. that is multicounty. so we're going to figure out the government structure, but the short of it, you'll hear more about the wi-fi trailers and the new asset we have to share among counties. >> great. thank you. >> i just want to announce the executive direct ivgive that -- directive that the mayor announced, we didn't have copies

earlier. we'll have them outside when you leave. >> we have general comments. i have a card for one person who hasn't spoke yet. >> may i ask a question, or is it just a comment? >> it's public comment. go ahead. >> yes, hi. let me introduce myself. my name is colleen. and i used to work at the san francisco public defenders office. and i had served on the evacuation committee there. my concern is if there is a catastrophic meltdown in the atmosphere above the planet, and we need to evacuate using like a space rocket or some type of you know, device like that, what department or who is the person that would handle this? would it be the city or the california state?

and the reason i'm asking is because i have a lot of concerns regarding citizens aside from government workers being evacuated. who would i really talk to? would it be the department of emergency services within the city? or would it be within the state, maybe the military or the governors' office? i'm a little curious who would handle something like that. >> well, the department of emergency management, we own the -- we have an evacuation plan. our evacuation is scenario-based, but i'm sure one of our staff could speak to you after the meeting and get a little more detail about what you're looking for. >> any other public comment? so, thanks, everyone for hanging in a few extra minutes. appreciate you being here.

>> i actually knew when i was young, when i was in high school. it was the iconic dancer. [♪] >> the hula that he did was what i'm totally accustom to. the extensions that he did where he left hula flavor of the rest of his dance and performance was almost like stepping into a new sphere. it's not just the physical, the movements and the tempo and the lyrics, it's that he keeps it, i think, philosophically connected.

mayors and more than a few supervisors, but it is actually the culmination of 40 years of history that began in june 1978 by our founder, john sims, but the one person i believe most responsible for writing this ordinance and seeing it through all the steps needed to be -- to bring us here today with the board of supervisors, is supervisor mandelman thinks that his efforts, you will forever be linked to the history of this and just as we have an official bird, flour, module, song, and colours, we will forever have an official band. i am a company today by some of my fellow musicians who are able to make us on a midday. thank you all for coming here, including an one member at linda warner who is literally at the sand. can you wave?

addition, our current artistic directors both play the french horn. with this in mind, the photos we are about to take we would like to ask mayor breed if she would like to hold the original french horn that belonged to john sims, our founder. it is right there. >> should i hold it now? >> sure. >> this is a living bit of musical history that is still being played today by members of the band, and we would be honored if she would hold it. we will not ask her to play it unless she wants to. and we won't formally ask -- there you go. [laughter] >> i need to practice. >> i understand. that is why we won't ask you to play it unless you want to, and we won't formerly -- formally ask her to join our bands but we do rehearse every tuesday night in the twin peaks neighborhood.

just saying. since i just heard scott's sad story of his traumatic band experience of not playing the clarinet, i will allow him to hold my clarinet during the photo opportunity, and we can arrange lessons if you'd like. [laughter] >> for supervisor mandelman, i wanted to give him one of these official caps with our name on the front and on the back. it officially says the official band of san francisco, and i want to offer these caps to everyone up here who would like one. this is the only one we have right now because they are on backorder but we thought you should have one. >> thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much for coming. this is a bit of history. i hope you remember it as much as we do. thank you. [applause] >> okay. now we are in for a treat.
