in the last six or seven months, we have implemented webeoc. this was a long time in coming. those of you who have been here for a while know we had a platform to share information that was difficult to use. it was a very clunky program, very difficult, and because we did not use it on a regular basis, that made it even worse. we went back to a paper-based system to look at how we do business as a city and how we want to operate in an emergency. we went to the vendors and said, "ok, here is how we work. give us a platform that works on the way we do things instead of a platform that causes us to have to change how we do things." long story, but in the end, we picked webeoc. it came out pretty strong, pretty easy to use. it is pretty intuitive. learning curves have to be accounted for, and each time we use it, we learn more and more. that goes to the more we use it, the better we get at it, and the more valuable it becomes, the more we can refine it appeared we have seen a trend where people are getting better at using it and we are identifying better how to use it. utilizatio

we encourage you to send representatives in order to train again on webeoc and become more familiar in case anything does happen. we do have the freight ships on saturday as well as the air show on saturday and sunday. sunday, we also have the italian heritage day parade, which will take place in north beach. that is expecting about 100,000 people in attendance. since we will already be activated during that time, we will have that on our list of activities during the day along with a 49er game. i could say the giants, but i am not really sure. i do not keep up with those things. i do not want to jinx or anything. we will be partially activating for halloween on monday, october 31. the last event we have ongoing is america's cup. the next item on our calendar is next friday, september 30, a draft of the public safety plan will be turned in to the america's cup. we are working with the fire department and police department on that. in november, we have the world cup of sailing in san diego. that is the first time america's cup will come to the united states, so that will be interesting
