. >> officials say 300 feet of this slate in yesterday taking with it a seawall and a peer. >> the seawall and the peer has been pushed out. >> the beer was set to be demolished in june to make way for a huge waterfront development. it is expected to come and clear the area. no one was hurt. >>> all right, we had a decent day today. temperatures came down and we had sunshine. >> we have a cold front that is moving in and the question is how much will it hold together before it comes in the bay area. it may produce some light showers. in the bay area we just have cloudy skies. right now as we look towards the bridge, san francisco is at 57 degrees. tomorrow it will be sunny. then when the cold front sweeps through it won't leave anything behind. we also have the tides coming up. we have a seven foot height tied tomorrow morning. that will be true for the next three mornings. the usual places will be getting the tide. sunny and cool weather coming up. high pressure down south. on the future cast you can see what is happening. we may have some scattered showers. tomorrow morning, we may have

the voters of san francisco for their support on a geeio bond measure in november to improve the seawalll like the focus of the port's effort needs to be on getting voter confidence for the bond measure and putting -- and asking the voters. what i worry about if the developer selection process gets muckied up or if they don't like the ideas suggest, you're going to be in a defensive campaign billion the, you know, uses that these folks don't like like what happened with 8-washington and pier 24 rapid 26 many, many years ago when it was a reasonable hotel proposal that got blown completely out of proportion. i would suggest that we look at these timing issues and you certainly have public affairs consultants on board to look at that. but i would hote to be in the defensive mode where we argue about hotels at piers 35 for example and this takes over a greater discussion that the port needs about saving the seawall and the structures. there is always, i think, a time for this and this is needed. but looking at the timing of this, in connection with the geobond is very important. thank you v

a horrible event commemorated by this poignant statue on the galveston seawall.dazed survivors emerge to a galveston they could not recognize. city streets filled with mounds of rubble. >> the degree from the houses and property and animals acmulated during the course of the storm became a wall of debris that protected the northern part of the island from the rest of the storm and water. we know that that debris line extended for maybe 2 miles and at some places as much is two stories in height. >> jon: galveston only is dug through the rubble desperately searching for survivors, but they found only bodies. among them ten catholic nuns and 90 orphans still tied together, only three of the st. mary's orphans survived the storm. >> i often think about what they would have experienced walking out the door on the next day and looking at what had happened and what was around them. >> jon: but this better communicating would not be beaten. neighbors pitched in helping neighbors and finding solace wherever possible. >> it became a place of priority because it was a plac

we have a seawall at the marina and a sawall around other areas and we have a zoo, and there's larger properties besides just shark park that face, you know, some serious challenges related to sea level rise. >> supervisor peskin: the only difference between the aforementioned, whether it's the ocean beach or the northeast waterfront, they happen to be in the county that we happen to work for. >> understood, understood. >> supervisor kim: supervisor fewer. >> super fewer: yes, thank you very much, mr. ginsburg for all of this information. and so i have questions around the equity work. so who is leading your internal equity work in your department? >> i am. >> supervisor fewer: okay. really? is there a facilitator? >> we have worked with facilitators and two of our managers have participated in the government alliance on racial equity. i have participated in a number of different trainings and i'm not the facilitator and i was being a little facetious but i say that i'm responsible for it because i'm the general manager. and we have a year-long cohort with other city staff and called

officials say 300 feet of the shoreline slid into the estuary yesterday afternoon taking with it a seawall and appear. >> the seawall and the peer that were scheduled to be demolished have been pushed out approximately 5200 feet into the estuary. >> the peer was set to be demolished in june to make way for a waterfront development. it is expected to include 3100 homes and 200,000 square feet of retail space. no one was hurt. they're investigating the cause of the collapse. >>> a development project at the port of oakland could break ground early next year. approval was given to build a warehouse style distribution center on the side of the old army style depot. the facility will help international shippers cut transportation cost and shipment times. it will be the first phase of a larger seaport logistics complex that could eventually encompass nearly 180 acres. industrial real estate giant centerpoint properties will lease the land and manage the project. the facility will create hundreds of construction and permanent jobs as part of centerpoint agreement with the port. local residents wi

but now on numerous occasions, when a severe storm hits, the seawall breaches and the village fills up like a bowl. i got off the plane yesterday from washington state, which i have the honor of represent ing, and i had a message from her on my phone saying it had happened again, we have a seawall breach, can you reach out to the army corps? that story and other tribes in my district, as we sit here today in this amazing setting, is one of four tribal stories from my district that are in the process of trying to move to higher ground. those stories deserve to be heard. not's why i'm grateful, just to former chairman castro, but to the commission on civil rights for listening to the stories. billy frank junior, a civil rights icon and native american leader, used to provide vital direction, saying to those who wanted to advocate, tell your story. and storytelling is essential to change, but in order for change to happen, someone needs to hear the story into to listen to the people who are telling it. too often, there is no one listening when communities of color or disadvantaged populat

bond and the votes according to that plan is $150 million initiative to support and strengthen the seawall. as part of the capital plan update, we ran and expanded our hazard analysis and checked the seismic, strength and our vulnerabilities of our public assets. we were at 214 and now we are at 239. since we've gotten the results of that, we are looking at the list to understand where we are dedicating our resources and where we have already a plan and where we need to invest next. that is on our website too. the plan in full. the second goal is to mitigate and adopt and retrofit. i'm very excited to have this meeting today on the major milestone in our soft to retrofit program. today is the deadline for property owners to submit to retrofit. thanks to the efforts of dbi. i want to thank tom and lily for doing an amazing job and getting the word out and through other communications with the safety fair. that was very well attended. to get a sense, there are 335 buildings in this tier of the larger buildings. there are 349 buildings across the tier program, but this is the largest by far a

where humans have intervened and we've built structures a wall concrete seawall a highway a hotel a parking lot the beach can't move back and we see long term beach lost. as part of the natural cycle beaches adjust to seasonal changes in summer beaches grow thicker and in winter they recede and level off to better absorb the energy of the waves to survive the ocean salt beaches must have enough space behind them but we've built too close to the shore so with nowhere to go beaches are overcome by the waves which carry their sand out to sea. if you have an eroding beach what is the problem. not the symptom the same symptom is the beaches eroding but what is the problem. what's causing it it's us. we are drawn to coastlines today three quarters of the largest cities in the world population are on the coast as the population growth accelerates. increasing density by twenty twenty five three quarters of the world's inhabitants will live near the ocean and those thin ribbons of sand which surround the continents are feeling the pressure. water and i hope that we learn from that but now we're here

the pilot has survived and in fact he was able to swim safely to the seawall.e're going to keep an eye on this and update you on the situation we were recently talking about in green bay in just a minute. >> thanks, erika. >>> this is a popular time of year to give or receive a pet as a christmas gift. remember it should be a lifelong commitment. >> that's right. a local shelter is hoping you'll consider adoption. as our sheena parveen tells us, think outside the box. >> well, if you didn't know the humane rescue lines have more than just dogs and cats and they have a lot of exotic animals, we're going to talk about t today. lauren from the human rescue alliance is here as well as animal control officer kyle. thank you so much for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> of course, let's talk about the rabbit first because your kids might want something other than a dog or cat. what about the rabbit? such a sweet pet. >> we have a lot of rabbits available often and we love -- they're social animals. we love to adopt them out to families. they're great to keep in
