adam shor is the pio of the san francisco police.from some saying they thought this was the big one. adam, what kind of skaucalls aru getting right now? any damage? i injuries? >> yes, good morning, well, because of the early morning, it was so early in the morning, most people were at their homes when it happened, and what we believe is that this was a rumbling from howard stern's butt crack. >> obviously that is not who we expected it was to be. we apologize for that so early in the morning, but i do want to keep on this, because the fact of the matter is, this is a serious situation, so we don't need any jokes going on right now, because we've got people who may be trapped in napa. these are some pictures of some folks in hercules, california, here, the freking family who so graciously shared their video from their in-home security camera to us, talking about what it was like for them, the chandelier was swinging, glass has been breaking. it has been fright nipping for the fright nipping for these people. we even heard of people t

but, again, as you heard from the pio there, you need to only call when you actually have an emergency or damage to a building. do not call just because you feel an aftershock. you are monopolizing 911 services and they're urging people only to use 911 if it is necessary. we're live in vallejo, i'm derek shore, nbc bay area news. >> thank you very much, derek. >>> we do have new details on a fire on mere island in vallejo. crews able to put that out quickly within the last two hours. it broke out in an abandoned building near the intersection of "g" street and azure drive. the fire sent thick black smoke into the air. nobody hurt, but crews did say water leaks caused by sunday's earthquake impacted water pressure and slowed them down. >>> a teenager was crushed by a fireplace in sunday's quake is doing much better in the hospital this morning. 13-year-old nicholas dillon is now listed in fair condition at uc davis medical center. dillon was nearly crushed by bricks, breaking his pelvis. he was sleeping on an air mattress on the floor. his nephew managed to turn himself around and crawl

i think they should consult with the media through the pios and have a meeting with the reporters and journalists and find out from them. and i think, you know, if there was an arrest in the michael brown case and i think eventually there will be an arrest. you know, maybe the city can go back to normal. when there is peaceful people protesting, when there is traffic on the street, reporters fimterring around asking people their feelings and what's going on, life comes back to a place and it does not have to be a line of police against a line of protesters with gas all in the middle. so you really want to try to get back to being normal. i'm not so sure that we're going to get there. >> so jen, just tactically in what you're seeing tonight, one of the tactics that police seldom use and should be used more often than they do is tactical retreat that sometimes there are moments. a better place. >> absolutely agree. i think that a lot of times you don't want to show all of that force up front early. in other words, you know, we used to do this at clan rallies in the south. there is a lot

you have got to get that information from the pio. the demonstrators who are out there will always say it was unjust. the reason this person or person wasn't doing anything wrong and the police came up on them and bound them up. of course, what they are trying to avoid is to get another big scene of another big clash like they had last night. state police captain ron johnson saying with all the molotov cocktails with all of the barricades and bottles being thrown they had to move in last night. they had no option o. so you had this scene repeat one more time with a big clash on the street. the real consistent thing we are seeing, every time the authorities out here take a step to try to restore the peace, it generates more anger. we know now with the national guard arriving, that generated another demonstration. people marched on one of the state buildings and last i heard they are still there. so whenever you see the authorities try to make an effort to generate the peace, it generates more anger, brings more bodies out on the street.

kirk does a better job than all of them and he is the pio of the committee. what it does is things that ought to be on the web suddenly become four years and drag out for months. example is just asking for job descriptions of major positions within the va which happened to me last year. it took five months to get the darn thing. and one of them they said they didn't have because it wasn't available. and that was the job description for the director of the national center for post-traumatic stress disorder. you don't have a job description? you had an attorney that could be put to use enabling veterans to get their claims approved instead of messing around with bureaucratic junk. that should be the litmus test. and all those middle middle people at vha, almost all of them, need to go away because they get in the way of the mission. >> mr. nickelson, does it trouble you that mr. mcdonald lacks a health care management experience? >> not necessarily. he has a phenomenal business background. iva is supportive of mr. mcdonald. we were not consulted by the whitehou

we went and talked with the city pio. community outreach coordinator barry martin and asked him to tell us about this napa warn system. this is a system that's been in place since 2013. it was widely praised by people saying that this was going to help bring napa into the 21st century. it was going to automate emergency messaging that needed to go out. this way they didn't have to rely on old school phone tree they were using until 2013. a phone tree where city workers would have paper, look up phone numbers and then start sending the messages out in a trickle effect. we know in santa clara county and in many counties in the bay area, there's an alert system. there is one in napa. the reason it didn't go off today, we were told by barry martin, they thought that everyone knew there was an earthquake and it was obvious there was an earthquake so they didn't feel the need to activate it. i asked him, whose decision was it to not use the emergency system and not put out reverse 911 call? he said that was a call made by the c

. >> good morning i'm the city's pio not specifically the police department. >> downtown area has suffered damage to the unreinforced masonry buildings. there are not that many of those left. but those that are still present have been mostly damaged by this strong quake. >> i understand there's been quite a move in downtown napa to go ahead and retro fit a lot of the buildings in the downtown area. >> the city actually passed an ordinary innocence to require upgrade and ret troe fit these properer tis. and many of them have been retro fitted. and some of these are still standing. some that were not are severely damaged. >> where what is the historical signature fans to some of these buildings. >> the goodman library. a beautiful stone building right in the heart of our downtown. it's been severely damaged by this quake. alt i blooe it did receive. another building home to a collective tasting room. sam key laundry very old stone building. told it has severe damage. a sad loss of some of the historic inventory of the immunities that have been here since the late 1800s. >> take us through th

>> in this complex, ci tell just from walking around the immediate scene, we have a large number. city-wide i've been given an update by our pio from the city downtown that we do have a large degree of damage in the downtown core and throughout the city to the degree and the numbers, i do not have that information. it'll be several days before it's developed >> . fair to say, dozens or hundreds? >> beyond dozens just a personal estimate listening to our radio traffic and from what i've been told. >> what's the best advice if i find my home has structural damage? >> translator: best thing to do right now -- emergency response is to look at the website www.cityofnapa.org. the key is, if you do smell gas, to shutdown the gas at your meter. only if you smell it. o.k.? beyond that, if something does not appear safe, stay out of it. go toas -- to goens to friends or -- this community with our floods and pass fires and earthquakes we're really good at taking care of each other. talk to your neighborhoods. get in touch with them. find shelter for those that need t. look up your disaster organizations. >> certainly good advice. thank y
