there it is, a place for us to gather as nert members and there's our nert ics area. here is our structure. same kind of set up, sort of our version. command policy section, the planning group, they are up on top. then once things get rolling, you have your operations section, logistics section. here are our objectives on the nert team, figure out if it's big, if it's small, how do we keep track of what's going on? do we just remember it? are we going to rely on our computers, our pc's? no, we have to write it down the old-fashioned way. address, is there a fire, yes or no, damage, are there people injured, dead, can you get there. where, what, any sort of damage, are there people involved, can you get to it? here is a nert status sheet. basically if you send somebody out, you want to send the members' names, what time they went out, when they came back, what the assignment was, any comments, and if you have an incident number that would be nice. who is the safety person? we don't want to send people out, just hey, go do this. we want to keep track of it. if they don'

hey, nert team, nert volunteers. is anybody here? if you say let's call out, everyone is going to be calling out, hey, nert team. nobody can listen. hey, let's call out and give it a couple seconds, see if we can hear somebody. not only call out, make sure that you can listen, too. we want you to start your search from the top so if you go into the building, start from the top and then work your way back. we want you to do a left or right handed search pattern, meaning when you enter a room or a building, we want you to find a wall and stay on that wall. we want to have somebody stay on that wall because that wall will show you the way out. mark each individual unit so the x that i was talking about, if you go into a multi-unit apartment building, you with want to do it on each unit. so i go into this apartment, you're going to do a slash, go into the apartment, do your search, when you come out and complete the x. again at the top is the time that you entered. they want you to write the time that you leave also. so you would cross o

flat surface is a little uncomfortable and he's not going to stay in this position, so since you're nert people and you always work in teams and you always have your manual with you and two or thre manuals and slide them under hi shoulders, or you could take a shoe off and put it under the shoulders and make its so the head flops back a little bit an keeps the air way open and whil you attend to this and he's bleeding and not breathing and now he's bleeding. so direct pressure. still bleeding -- put another dressing on and you can hold it in place with a bandage and if he wakes up hold on to this or you're going to die. he tends to hold on nice and tight and it's still bleeding. well, let's find this pulse point in here and we will push against the bone there and it will slow the blood and it's al good and bleeding stopped and hold on to that for a while and make sure the bleeding doesn't reoccur, and this guy ought toe a doctor and it's real bad and in fact we can tell him to see doctor and he has sweat and be beading up on the forehead and looking pale and what do we do for someone who

that's what nert and the others are about. we'll do our part in responding with the best of police and fire and public safety officials but you're on your own the first 72 hours before we get there. make sure you do that. but this city is great and one of the reasons why i came to work here, i get to care about you beyond that 72 hours. i want all of you to stay in this city after the big one hits. i don't want you leaving. i don't want you thinking you've been aen -- abandoned by government. that's what happened in katrina, what happened in new orleans. people left because they didn't have a message to say, stay and rebuild. that's why we have priorities in our budget, we have priorities in our 10-year capital plan, we are putting serious money in the building of our new general hospital. that will be built before the big earthquake hits. it's already under construction. we have so many of our public facilities that have been seismically reinforced. now we have our second phase. by next year, we're going to take another shot

thank you to our nert volunteers and the emergency management department. ross mirkarimi is here. thank you, jeff. it was very easy hanging the wreath. is one of our greatest mares. ed lee has always prioritized readiness in our city. thank you to bob. >> i want to get a picture with the chief. i am the new mayor of san francisco after ed. ann, come on up. say a couple of words. this is tough. it is great to see you. good morning. >> thank you. good morning. thank you for coming out. i want to thank everyone for being here. just a reminder, please be prepared. go to our website, 72hours.org. it tells you what you need to know. put togetherdebt prepared. it is going to happen again. every year, we commemorate the lives lost. i think we're in much better shape right now, but be better prepared. thank you. >> i will make sure i get a bunch of canned goods and gatorade down here. all right, one quick message. this year we are dedicating at this as an annual commemoration to the survivors of the recent earthquake and the tsunami in japan, and two other survivors we know what, rose who

they have been supportive of our nert program as evidenced by their $1 million donation.y are assisting us in getting the message out about how important it is to be prepared. the other thing i am excited about is that we know and feel badly about what happened in san bruno. we worked even more collaborative lead with pg&e -- collaboratively with pg&e. san bruno will be receiving updated technology. that will help our first responders. it will provide us with gis mapping. when we respond to emergencies, we will know where their infrastructure underground is located. this is another example of pg&e partnering with 1st responders so that we can be as efficient as possible in emergencies. is all about collaboration and partnerships. the more prepared are today, the better off we will all be in the event of an emergency when it happens and in the recovery stage. that is very important. i would like to thank all of you for being here today. your support of the red cross, acknowledging pg&e for their great work, and recognizing the importance of partnering with public safety. t

commissioner walker: and many of them might be nert trained. there is a real connection that should be defined, maybe we can help with that. president hechanova: commissioner murphy. commissioner murphy: yes. tony, hopefully we never see an earthquake in our time, but let's assume we do have an earthquake, what's our cooperation with planning as far as, you know, a proven project to get rebuilt? have we any communication with them on this? >> in our plan there is a segment that deals with recovery, essentially, and that's essential element in terms of picking things back up after any kind of event. there aren't really specific details and that's one of the things that the department of emergency management is urging all city departments, look at your plan and clarify, fill any gray areas and get some details on how you can have little addendums and subsections to deal with that particular issue. we as the d.o.c., we have a building safety team that will deal with permits and rapid permitting in that process, so through that we will communicate

we will have our largest annual -- large annual nert drill. that will take place at the john o'connell high school. with that, we have a pretty solid agenda to get updated. >> this is my first meeting in this role. i have been to the disaster council for many years with a different hat on. i welcome you today as well. it has been public safety and national communicator's week. the dispatcher of the year, i think it was really a nice event. we honor it to young people, a 10-year-old and 11-year-old that called 911 and save their mother's life. it was an emotional and beautiful ceremony. we honored of the dispatchers and the kids that new to call 911. that is an education that we want to continue. and really forging that partnership with the news. you all are invited to join us at 4:045 in the morning. sunday, and there will be a pretty exciting event in chinatown. this has a very special place in my heart. i was the chair of the task force for the board of supervisors since its inception. i think we have come a long way. that is one more way th

that's an nert volunteer. never fight a fire if it's a large fire. large is over your head. if you are scared and it's too big, it's too large for you. if it's spread beyond where it started and blocking our escape route and you are unsure how to use an extinguisher. there are 4 types of fire it's on the label. on the front. down here. water type extinguisher it's a chrome big thing that holds 2-1/2 gallons of water. 30-40 feet away is the maximum, you want to get closer. flood it with water you can put your thumb over the tip and it fans it out. dry chemicals, inside here this is a bc this is one you might have in your car. it's not used on wood, paper, classic fires only on flammable liquid and electrical fires that's what you use in your car. if will have a pressure gauge. metal handle and it will have a good sized rubber nozzle and the label and all that will tell you the fire it's for. pass, pull the pin out. aim the nozzle. squeeze the lever. don't squeeze it and class 6 this happens. don't shoot the instructor in the foot because when you hold it, hold it here and don

it was the model for nert. have trained about 20,000 people all over the city in english, chinese, spanish, vietnamese. we have a similar effort to san francisco in terms of working with the institutions in our community to be prepared for disasters and recovery. we are about to make a program public in a couple of weeks that we've organized with a vulnerable communities like the handicapped and seniors. when they need a place to shelter, we are prepared. we have worked it out in advance. the reality is that this does not work unless neighbors are prepared block by block. i come as a representative of the mayor and a survivor of the 1989 storm. i can tell you that the cavalry does not come to save you. it is neighbors saving neighbors. think about the images of japan with people pulling others up the hill. that is why is so important for us to be prepared. there are a couple of things people need to remember. make a plan. when a disaster occurs somewhere else, think about what you would do in that disaster. tha

and whatever you do know your limit and what you are capabilit capa once you are involved with the nert teams and you get to revie the stuff and what you can do and physically you know what yo can do and lift people and mentally is another thing and w will talk about disaster psychology next week and some people say they can't look at blood or some say they can't look at a child screaming and know your limits and don't become a victim yourself.
