and of course, we are still taking lessons from everything from not only chile, new zealand, new orleans, but now the newest set of tragedy. what they are doing in alabama and mississippi, what they are doing in those disasters, as we focus on our seismic expectations. i continue to pay a lot of attention to the new seismic lifelines council that we created, through my work in the city administrator's office. that council continues to be unique as it brings together all of our utility agencies in the city, whether the departments or private sector, bringing them in the same room to talk about our gaps, about what we can recover, whether it is pg&e, telecommunications, or emergency coordination with our public utilities commission, having the heads of our fire and police department there, building department there, listening and understanding our role as the lifeline council identifies those things that we need today to strengthen our ability to recover quickly. all of these practices we are doing, i could brag about them, but i tend to look at the work they have in front of them more and
