[0:01] garden and I'm so proud that I

[0:03] was able to pass that off to my

[0:06] kids. And now my grandchildren.

[0:07] Um, and then if the dogs don't

[0:10] dig it up, maybe we get a couple

[0:11] carrots at the end of the year.

[0:13] So it's always a lot of fun. I'm

[0:15] Anna Burton, and this has been

[0:17] my career report. For more

[0:18] information and to continue to

[0:55] And Nestled within the vibrant

[0:59] San Fernando Valley, this six

[1:01] and a half acre oasis offers a

[1:03] serene escape defined by the

[1:04] harmonious balance of natural

[1:07] elements. The Japanese garden

[1:08] uses reclaimed water to

[1:10] replenish its tranquil features.

[1:11] Standing as a testament to the

[1:13] city's commitment to

[1:14] sustainability and

[1:16] resourcefulness, step into the

[1:18] unique landscape which invites

[1:20] visitors to disconnect from the

[1:22] dynamic pace of urban life and

[1:24] rediscover a sense of peace so

[1:26] whether you're visiting from

[1:27] across town or from across the

[1:29] world, welcome to LA

[1:56] .

[1:56] The visionary concept of

[1:58] establishing a Japanese garden

[1:59] adjacent to the reclamation

[2:01] facility was pioneered by Donald

[2:03] C Tillman. Every element of

[2:05] grounds has been meticulously

[2:07] crafted to harmonize with the

[2:08] modern architecture and the

[2:10] natural environment of the San

[2:11] Fernando Valley, visitors can

[2:13] enjoy an expansive, wet

[2:15] strolling landscape where

[2:16] flowing waterfalls, symbolizing

[2:19] heaven, humanity and the earth

[2:20] merge with vibrant greenery and

[2:22] crafted stone lanterns imported

[2:24] from Japanese artisans. The

[2:27] stillness of the water offers a

[2:28] refuge for the spirit, mirroring

[2:31] the vital knowledge shared with

[2:32] Angelenos during a recent

[2:34] emergency preparedness day. We

[2:39] are at the Autry Museum for the

[2:42] second annual Wildfire de la,

[2:44] which is an event that we put on

[2:47] to try to prepare Los Angeles

[2:49] for the next inevitable wildfire

[2:52] emergencies that, unfortunately,

[2:53] are destined to happen. Whether

[2:57] it's the wildfires here that

[2:59] taught us an awful lot of

[3:01] lessons in January 2025 or any

[3:03] other kind of life safety

[3:04] emergency. Our mission now is an

[3:07] 18 year old nonprofit

[3:08] organization working with the LA

[3:10] City Fire Department and other

[3:11] city partners and departments is

[3:12] to bridge that gap. It's

[3:16] critical for everyone in the

[3:18] city, whether you have a

[3:21] business, whether you own a home

[3:23] , rent, that you know what to do

[3:25] in case of emergency, be it

[3:27] wildfire, be it an earthquake or

[3:28] heavy rains, emergency

[3:31] preparedness is critical, and

[3:32] I'm glad the city put on this

[3:36] event. Los Angeles is actually

[3:42] very unique in that it has so

[3:44] many possible natural disasters.

[3:45] It has earthquakes. It has

[3:46] literally tsunamis. It has

[3:49] flooding. In fact, the major

[3:51] cause of weather death is heat.

[3:52] And as we know with

[3:53] environmental concerns, we also

[3:55] wind up having more heat. So

[3:56] there is something here for

[3:58] everybody. So while some people

[3:59] might think, well, I don't live

[4:01] in a home in the hills, the high

[4:03] fire severity zone is actually

[4:04] moving further south into our

[4:05] urban areas. And everybody is

[4:08] potentially affected by an

[4:10] emergency. We are all one

[4:12] emergency away from a potential

[4:14] personal disaster. Wildfire de

[4:20] la is one of the many ways that

[4:23] we try to reach out to people,

[4:24] whether it's holding public

[4:25] events like these, and we've

[4:27] done ten or more all over the

[4:29] city and county. Second time

[4:30] that we're here at the Autry,

[4:31] which is a great venue. We're

[4:33] surrounded by wild land, right?

[4:34] So it's a great frame for what

[4:36] we're trying to teach. But you

[4:38] know, in any case, we just take

[4:39] we try to use every conduit,

[4:41] every medium, every form. We can

[4:42] to get the word out right. We go

[4:45] into neighborhoods and we do

[4:46] home hardening assessments for

[4:47] free for people that are in the

[4:48] brush, the canyons, the

[4:49] hillsides we go into schools and

[4:52] teach kids how to be more fire

[4:54] safe. We go to build

[4:56] neighborhood council, fire wise

[4:58] or fire safe council groups to

[5:00] organize their own neighborhoods

[5:01] to be more prepared. We're here

[5:05] working with all the folks that

[5:08] are concerned about how we can

[5:09] be more efficient with

[5:10] preventing wildfire, right? How

[5:12] can we be more mindful of

[5:13] keeping our towns resilient? And

[5:15] so, tree people, our goal is to

[5:18] help make our wild spaces

[5:19] resilient. And that means that

[5:21] after a fire rolls through, we

[5:23] want to bring in native plants

[5:24] that are going to do well and

[5:26] recover quickly. And also

[5:27] withstand the shortened fire

[5:29] regime as well as we want to

[5:32] make communities aware of the

[5:34] benefits of native plants.

[5:35] Right. A healthy ecosystem in

[5:36] the mountains is going to bring

[5:38] a lot more resilience to our

[5:39] communities. Just down the way

[5:42] trees and native species are

[5:43] going to be better suited for

[5:46] when we have drought, they're

[5:47] going to be better suited for

[5:48] when there is wildfire. They'll

[5:50] recover quickly and they're

[5:51] going to keep our air cycling

[5:53] clean. We're going to have a lot

[5:56] of different benefits from a

[5:57] healthy ecosystem. So the more

[5:58] we can preserve the wild space,

[6:00] the more our cities and our

[6:02] wildlife is going to be happy

[6:05] that we've done so we can do our

[6:07] part in stewarding the land.

[6:09] Wildfire safety includes a lot

[6:11] of things, but one of the most

[6:13] important things it includes is

[6:14] preparation, awareness and

[6:16] education. We want every

[6:17] community in Kde4 and throughout

[6:19] Los Angeles to understand what

[6:20] they can do to be ready in case

[6:23] of emergency, as well as how

[6:24] they can participate in

[6:25] preventing an emergency. I would

[6:29] tell people to make sure that

[6:32] they understand where their

[6:33] exits are, other than their

[6:34] front door. I would recommend

[6:37] that people do pack some sort of

[6:38] go kit, which includes their

[6:40] medications, identifying

[6:41] information of their pets if

[6:43] they have them. In case they're

[6:44] separated. If you live in an

[6:47] apartment building, please make

[6:48] yourself aware of where the fire

[6:50] extinguishers are in your

[6:51] building. Please make sure you

[6:52] keep your fire alarms

[6:54] functioning, which also monitor

[6:55] for gas, and you know, reach out

[6:57] to your landlord to ask them to

[6:59] engage in safety measures for

[7:00] the entire building, which also

[7:01] might lower their insurance

[7:03] costs if they engage safely on

[7:04] how to protect themselves. All

[7:06] these things are what we're here

[7:07] to teach today in a way that

[7:08] hopefully people can deal with

[7:10] in an affordable and viable way,

[7:12] so that they don't feel

[7:14] overwhelmed, like there's so

[7:15] much to do. I just won't do

[7:16] anything. We want them to do

[7:18] something, do one thing, do

[7:20] three things. Over time and over

[7:21] time, they're going to get in a

[7:23] better position to withstand a

[7:24] wildfire, and we know they're

[7:25] coming. Unfortunately.

[7:38] Hence the name aquatic Center.

[7:39] It's very different. It's the

[7:41] largest municipal pool in the

[7:43] United States. It's 1.5 acres

[7:45] just one way. It's 153 yards.

[7:48] The capacity is over 3000 zero

[7:51] depth entry. So that means that

[7:53] it's safe for all families. The

[7:55] little kids. It's 1.5 million

[7:58] gallons of water with two

[7:59] beautiful water slides. And the

[8:01] obstacle course in the middle of

[8:03] the pool. So in the city of LA,

[8:07] we have over 50 swimming pools.

[8:10] So there's a pool near your

[8:11] house from San Pedro to Sylmar,

[8:13] East L.A. West L.A, we have a

[8:15] pool. Not only we have a pool

[8:17] with well-trained lifeguards,

[8:18] but we have amazing programs we

[8:22] do over 25,000 lessons, swim

[8:24] lessons in the city of LA every

[8:27] year we have over 800 kids in

[8:29] our junior lifeguard program and

[8:31] over 6000 kids that are a part

[8:33] of our swim team. Water polo,

[8:35] artistic swimming, springboard

[8:37] diving. So we have an aquatics

[8:39] program for all Angelenos. So

[8:43] anytime you're around water, if

[8:45] you're at the lake, you're at

[8:47] the beach, you're at the pool

[8:48] anywhere, always swim near a

[8:51] lifeguard. It's critical that

[8:53] your kids are supervised at all

[8:55] times, anytime they're close to

[8:56] the water. You know, kids can

[8:58] drown in like a few inches of

[8:59] water. So never, never leave

[9:02] your kids unattended during the

[9:04] summertime. You know, there's a

[9:05] lot of friends, family. They

[9:07] have pool parties. It's a lot of

[9:09] drownings that happen in

[9:10] backyard pools. So as a parent,

[9:12] there's a lot of things that you

[9:14] can do at home to make sure your

[9:16] pools are safe. First, you got

[9:18] to have a fence. Make sure you

[9:19] have a fence with a gate that

[9:20] you can lock. You got to have an

[9:23] alarm. It's good to have

[9:25] equipment in case, you know

[9:26] somebody goes in the water and

[9:29] whoever is watching them doesn't

[9:30] know how to swim. Make sure you

[9:31] have a ring buoy. A ring buoy

[9:33] can make a big difference on

[9:34] saving somebody's life. Where

[9:36] anybody can see it. Grab it and

[9:39] throw it to whoever's in the

[9:41] water struggling. Whoever needs

[9:43] help knowing how to use it, how

[9:45] to throw it, can make a big

[9:47] difference. Also, a body hook.

[9:48] You put on the wall next to the

[9:50] ring buoy so you can reach and

[9:52] hook the body and bring them in,

[9:54] or have somebody hold on to it

[9:56] that's struggling in the water

[9:57] and bring them in. By having

[9:59] those two pieces of equipment

[10:00] can make a big, big difference.

[10:05] So each facility, you know, we

[10:07] have a safety plan by having

[10:09] well trained lifeguards that all

[10:11] of our 50 plus facilities in the

[10:13] city of La, our job is to

[10:15] educate the public in water

[10:16] safety. So when you come in, you

[10:18] have a good safe experience. So

[10:21] this summer make it a point to

[10:24] visit our pools and take a swim

[10:26] lesson. Give us a shot, try us

[10:27] out. Five, four. Three. Two one.

[10:39] Go.

[10:50] We are in the community of

[10:52] Panorama City. The 91 402

[10:55] celebrating the grand opening of

[10:56] the Splash pad at Panorama City

[10:59] Park, a park whose splash pad

[11:01] was closed for over seven

[11:03] summers. We're excited to see

[11:05] all of the kids here who live in

[11:07] a very high, dense community

[11:09] sometimes don't have a front

[11:09] yard, sometimes don't have a

[11:10] backyard. So the park is really

[11:12] their only place to play. It's

[11:15] been amazing. I mean, look at

[11:16] the smiles are priceless. The

[11:18] sounds. It brings me back to my

[11:19] childhood. My sister was even

[11:21] teary eyed because growing up in

[11:23] a community where you know you

[11:25] need a little bit more resources

[11:27] , this is priceless. I am

[11:30] ecstatic that we have close to

[11:33] 200 families here today, and we

[11:34] are excited to talk to the

[11:37] families about how we were

[11:38] finally able to find the

[11:39] resources to get it back in

[11:40] functioning, and I'm still

[11:43] overwhelmed by the amount of

[11:44] families that came that were

[11:45] waiting for this. Because seven

[11:47] years is a long time. So I'm a

[11:49] community member here, and this

[11:51] actually started in my family

[11:53] when I brought my son to the

[11:54] park, and he noticed a desolate

[11:56] water park, and he asked me,

[11:57] mom, when is this going to be

[12:00] open? And why is it closed? And

[12:02] I told him, you know what? I

[12:03] honestly don't know, but these

[12:04] are great questions. We have a

[12:06] neighborhood watch meeting in

[12:06] the next few days. Why don't you

[12:09] ask those questions there? My

[12:10] son and my daughter, they

[12:11] collaborated. So at the meeting,

[12:12] she asked the questions.

[12:13] Unfortunately, she was told that

[12:15] it was going to be closed. But

[12:16] then a few days later, I get an

[12:19] email or a text saying that

[12:20] actually the council member had

[12:21] looked into it and she's going

[12:23] to make it happen to reopen. And

[12:25] here we are, and we're really

[12:26] grateful for this, because lots

[12:27] of families can enjoy,

[12:29] especially during these hot

[12:30] weather. And especially when

[12:32] things are so expensive. This is

[12:34] a free access to keeping cool in

[12:36] our community, which we

[12:37] definitely need it. And this

[12:38] shows just the collaboration

[12:39] that when we work together, that

[12:41] you're never too young to be

[12:43] active, to get involved, that

[12:44] you can make positive change at

[12:46] any age, and especially when we

[12:48] all work together, it almost

[12:51] feels like we let an entire

[12:52] generation down. Taking this

[12:53] long. But we're not going to let

[12:55] this happen again. And that's

[12:56] why we're going to continue to

[12:57] fight and advocate for more

[12:59] funding to come to our rec and

[13:01] parks department. We want to

[13:01] continue to collaborate with the

[13:03] city to make sure it's safe that

[13:05] our communities are clean, that

[13:07] they're great places for us to

[13:09] live and as you can see, a good

[13:10] place to play as well. Inspired

[13:18] by the historic strolling

[13:20] estates of the 18th and 19th

[13:22] centuries, the wet Garden design

[13:23] employs vast lawns to foster an

[13:26] open and radiant setting for

[13:28] discovery. The grounds are open

[13:30] for public exploration from 9:30

[13:32] a.m. until 3:30 p.m, Monday

[13:34] through Thursday, and on the

[13:35] second Sunday of each month.

[13:36] During these Sunday sessions,

[13:37] the facility showcases

[13:39] traditional cultural artistry,

[13:41] performances and family

[13:42] activities alongside the Bureau

[13:44] of Sanitation's Sustainability

[13:46] programs. This scenic promenade

[13:48] offers an opportunity to observe

[13:50] the evolving seasons,

[13:52] highlighted by the Radiant lotus

[13:54] blooms that also define the

[13:55] spirit of the annual Lotus

[13:56] Festival at Echo Park. Lake.

[14:04] This year, here at the Beautiful

[14:07] Echo Park Lake, we are

[14:09] celebrating the 45th Lotus

[14:10] Festival and our host country.

[14:12] This year is Sri Lanka, so we're

[14:14] celebrating the culture, the

[14:15] people and the food of Sri Lanka

[14:24] . And this festival is about

[14:26] celebrating culture and bringing

[14:27] people together. So this year

[14:29] when we celebrate the democratic

[14:30] Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka,

[14:31] you're going to see people from

[14:34] all across the city of Los

[14:35] Angeles, all walks of life. But

[14:36] we're celebrating one part of

[14:38] the community. But also

[14:39] celebrating the diversity and

[14:40] the strength of the city of Los

[14:42] Angeles. An absolutely

[14:46] incredible community event that

[14:48] brings together the various

[14:50] cultures and the rich heritage

[14:52] of us Angelenos. And today, I'm

[14:56] so honored that it's

[14:57] spotlighting my country of birth

[14:59] and my motherland. The beautiful

[15:01] island of Sri Lanka. We want to

[15:03] keep our culture alive and

[15:05] spread it to everyone else in

[15:08] our community. As well. And let

[15:11] everyone else know how vibrant

[15:12] and how welcoming our culture is

[15:15] . Our food is very tasty. To Sri

[15:21] Lanka means so much to the city

[15:22] of Los Angeles. We have doctors

[15:26] , teachers, lawyers. They bring

[15:27] so much love and community to

[15:29] the city and that's what we want

[15:31] to highlight today here at Echo

[15:33] Park, celebrating the Lotus

[15:35] Festival. It's a great event

[15:43] full of diversity and culture.

[15:44] The host country this year is

[15:45] Sri Lanka and we had the Consul

[15:47] General of Sri Lanka herself

[15:49] here to help celebrate the

[15:51] opening ceremony. We have two

[15:53] days of a lot of fun food,

[15:55] dancing, entertainment.

[16:10] Having events like this is

[16:12] absolutely critical because

[16:13] we're so diverse, but it's not

[16:15] just the diversity that makes us

[16:17] a great city. It's having events

[16:18] where people that are diverse

[16:19] can learn from one another and

[16:20] really become neighbors and

[16:21] partners and friends, and that's

[16:23] why it's so important that we

[16:25] celebrate this. Day. We have so

[16:30] many events where people can

[16:31] learn about one another's

[16:32] countries or heritage culture,

[16:34] and that's what makes us better,

[16:36] makes us a strong city. And

[16:40] these types of events are so

[16:42] important for us as a community

[16:44] , because it just brings

[16:46] together everyone from all

[16:47] corners of the world. We have

[16:50] Hispanics, we have Africans, we

[16:52] have South Asians like us. We

[16:54] have Koreans, Chinese, and we're

[16:56] all here together. We make up

[16:57] this beautiful city of Los

[16:59] Angeles. We are the fabric of

[17:01] this city.

[17:17] So what we're doing here is we

[17:18] are hosting the official world

[17:21] Cup. LA fan Zone, and we're

[17:24] going to be hosting today's

[17:26] match. We're going to do the

[17:28] third third place match on

[17:29] Saturday and also the finals on

[17:31] Sunday. It's about getting the

[17:32] vibe of the of the crowd and

[17:35] everything being with people and

[17:35] everyone scores a goal. It's

[17:38] nice. It's better than sitting

[17:39] at home and watching it. I came

[17:43] with my, one of my closest

[17:44] friends so that we can enjoy the

[17:46] last games of this amazing World

[17:47] Cup. We both love soccer, so I

[17:49] was lucky enough to go to the

[17:52] first game USA against Paraguay.

[17:54] Um so now it's just all about

[17:57] having fun for whatever's left.

[17:59] Hi. We're in San Pedro. I'm

[18:03] rooting for England here. Come

[18:05] on to England. Can we just say

[18:08] Go England? I want England to

[18:09] win. Sends it in bodies on the

[18:11] deck. Today's FanFest fan zone

[18:12] is a lively crowd. Good

[18:15] entertainment and a great game.

[18:17] And we'll see who wins. Oh, I

[18:21] volunteer for Ayso, and it's

[18:23] very meaningful for me to be

[18:25] here with my family. This is

[18:26] like my brother. We have to look

[18:28] out for each. We are stoked to

[18:34] welcome everybody here right

[18:36] now. We've got such a beautiful

[18:37] location and we want to show it

[18:40] off right. We are giving

[18:43] everyone a first look, not just

[18:44] to the space here and our LA

[18:46] waterfront, but also a few of

[18:48] our tenants are participating as

[18:49] well, so people can get a little

[18:51] bit of a taste of San Pedro fish

[18:53] Market, who's actually already

[18:54] open down on the other end of

[18:56] the site. But Fresco Bar, Lazio

[18:57] Pizza, we've got Piranha

[19:00] empanadas and glass box and

[19:02] baked bear that are also here so

[19:04] people can get a little taste

[19:05] before we actually open this

[19:07] fall. Yeah, there's going to be

[19:10] a brand new visitor serving

[19:11] attraction down here at the port

[19:13] of La called West Harbor. So

[19:15] it's really important for those

[19:16] that knew it previously as ports

[19:18] of call, to know that it has

[19:19] been completely redeveloped with

[19:21] partnership between the port and

[19:23] the West Harbor developer.

[19:25] That's going to offer all kinds

[19:26] of food and beverage options,

[19:28] shopping options, activity

[19:29] options. There's going to be a

[19:30] really big Ferris wheel here

[19:32] coming next year. There's going

[19:34] to be stuff for kids to do. Kids

[19:35] playground area. There's going

[19:37] to be Harbor cruises so you can

[19:38] come down here and play all day,

[19:40] walk the mile long promenade and

[19:42] just figure out whatever you

[19:43] want to do with your family.

[19:45] We're just enjoying the

[19:46] beautiful West Harbor. I live

[19:47] here locally and we haven't

[19:49] really seen this open to the

[19:51] public in this manner. I had no

[19:54] idea what it would be like, but

[19:55] it's close. I live nearby, so

[19:58] I'm actually coming on Saturday

[20:00] with my entire family, but they

[20:01] opened it early, so I was like,

[20:03] hey, why not? Let's go. So it

[20:04] looks really nice. It's near the

[20:06] water. I love the soccer balls

[20:08] floating in the ocean so it

[20:10] looks really nice and a safe

[20:12] family environment. And bottom

[20:17] line is this if everybody could

[20:18] get a loan like this right here,

[20:20] we will be a better place.

[20:32] So this week is Shark Week. And

[20:33] today specifically is July 14th

[20:37] . And July 14th is the AZA

[20:39] Association of Zoos and

[20:40] Aquariums. Shark and Ray

[20:41] Awareness Day. We bring

[20:46] specimens out from our museum

[20:48] collection that that we normally

[20:50] don't have on display. Some

[20:52] different species of shark jaws

[20:54] . We have some great white shark

[20:55] vertebrae. We have shark skin

[20:57] that the public can touch. And

[20:59] we also have activities,

[21:01] giveaways, crafts and things

[21:02] that the public can take that

[21:04] are all around appreciating.

[21:05] Sharks and other kinds of

[21:08] different shark specimens that

[21:09] are not on permanent exhibit.

[21:16] Who isn't excited about sharks?

[21:18] You know, especially you know,

[21:20] little kids. And then you grow

[21:21] up who's not excited about

[21:23] sharks? They're almost like the

[21:24] dinosaurs of the day. You know?

[21:25] And when you grow up, that never

[21:27] leaves you. You know, the love

[21:28] for sharks. It's free entry.

[21:33] That's why we come. You don't

[21:35] have to spend. You know, a lot

[21:36] of money like some of the other

[21:38] aquariums out there. Um,

[21:39] depending on where you park, you

[21:41] might have to pay for parking or

[21:42] not. But it's super cheap. It's

[21:44] a great experience. Yes, it's

[21:45] small, but you just come for a

[21:47] few hours. It's great. We are

[21:56] very science based. There's a

[21:58] lot of biological content that

[22:01] we display. So alongside the

[22:03] tanks there are all the animals

[22:05] always labeled with a scientific

[22:06] name and a common name. There's

[22:09] a lot of biological illustration

[22:11] showing the anatomy of an

[22:13] octopus or the anatomy of a

[22:15] shark and pointing out all the

[22:17] different parts and labeling it

[22:19] , um, but we're also so

[22:21] friendly. I love working here.

[22:23] The staff are amazing and

[22:24] everybody is willing to help

[22:26] out. We're very family friendly

[22:28] and we are children focused, but

[22:30] all ages are welcome and we will

[22:32] do anything to make sure

[22:34] everybody has a good time.

[22:47] Since 1984, the Japanese Garden

[22:49] offers a sanctuary from the

[22:50] haste of urban traffic, inviting

[22:52] us to disconnect from daily

[22:54] pressures and rediscover the

[22:55] meditative calm of nature in the

[22:57] city. Our thanks to the Japanese

[23:00] garden and LA's Bureau of

[23:01] Sanitation and from all of us at

[23:03] LA City. Thank you for joining

[23:04] us. Watch these stories and more

[23:06] anytime at LA City Govtv and

[23:09] follow us at LA city on

[23:10] Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

[23:12] Until next time, explore and

[23:14] enjoy all that Los Angeles has

[23:16] to offer

[24:47] .

[24:47] Life is busy, especially in a

[24:49] city like Los Angeles, but it

[24:51] can also be uncertain. A large

[24:54] scale disaster like an

[24:55] earthquake, wildfire, or even

[24:57] civil unrest can happen at any

[24:59] time as part of the city's ready

[25:01] your la neighborhood program.

[25:02] This video covers the basic

[25:05] steps that you can take during

[25:06] and after an emergency to keep

[25:08] your loved ones safe. We will

[25:10] review earthquake, wildfire, and

[25:12] active shooter scenarios.

[25:15] Angelenos know the big one is

[25:18] coming, but don't know when.

[25:20] It's very important to learn

[25:21] about earthquake safety now. If

[25:24] you are indoors when an

[25:25] earthquake strikes, drop

[25:27] immediately to the floor. Take

[25:28] cover as soon as you see or feel

[25:31] shaking and hold on. If there is

[25:34] no table nearby, sit on the

[25:36] floor against the wall, away

[25:38] from windows and tall furniture.

[25:39] Protect your head and neck with

[25:41] your arms and stay indoors until

[25:43] the shaking stops. If you are

[25:45] outside, move to a clear area

[25:48] and stay away from anything that

[25:49] could fall on you like

[25:51] buildings, power lines or trees.

[25:53] If you are at the beach,

[25:55] immediately move to higher

[25:56] ground and follow tsunami

[25:58] evacuation signs. If you are

[26:00] driving, pull over to a clear

[26:02] location and stop. Avoid bridges

[26:05] , overpasses, and power lines.

[26:06] If you are in a wheelchair, lock

[26:09] your wheels. Bend over and cover

[26:11] your head. For more information,

[26:13] visit the Earthquake Country

[26:15] Alliance's website. Now onto

[26:18] wildfire tips. If you do not

[26:20] receive warning in advance of a

[26:23] wildfire, only collect your grab

[26:24] and go kit. If it's safe to do

[26:26] so. Follow evacuation orders and

[26:28] help others. If moving through a

[26:30] smoke filled area, stay low to

[26:32] the ground. If you do receive a

[26:34] prepare to evacuate warning.

[26:36] Gather your loved ones and pets

[26:38] . Ready your go bags. Charge

[26:40] your cell phones and plan your

[26:43] evacuation route. Lastly, let's

[26:45] talk about an active shooter

[26:47] situation. An active shooter is

[26:49] someone who is trying to kill

[26:51] and injure people. If you find

[26:53] yourself in such a situation,

[26:54] it's important to keep in mind

[26:56] the run, hide, fight survival

[26:58] principles. Your first option is

[27:01] to drop everything and run. If

[27:03] possible, try to help others

[27:05] escape, but do not attempt to

[27:07] move the wounded. Once you're

[27:08] safe, call 911. If you cannot

[27:12] escape, find the nearest hiding

[27:13] place. Lock the door or block

[27:15] the entry to your hiding place

[27:16] with tables, chairs, or whatever

[27:19] you can find. Make sure to

[27:20] silence your cell phone. If you

[27:23] are out of all other options,

[27:25] then fight. Try to incapacitate

[27:27] the shooter in whatever way

[27:29] possible and remember, commit to

[27:31] your actions, your life depends

[27:34] on it. Once law enforcement

[27:36] arrives, remain calm. Follow

[27:38] their instructions and keep your

[27:41] hands free and visible at all

[27:42] times. Learn more about active

[27:45] shooter protocols at Run, hide,

[27:47] fight LA .org. It's not over.

[27:50] Just yet. The aftermath of an

[27:53] emergency is still a crucial

[27:54] time for you to remain alert and

[27:56] aware. Stay clear of hazards

[27:59] like downed power lines, damaged

[28:00] buildings, and avoid using gas

[28:02] until your gas line has been

[28:04] inspected. Cooperate fully with

[28:06] public safety officials and

[28:08] listen to local radio and TV

[28:09] stations for updated

[28:11] information. Avoid driving

[28:12] during this time and only use

[28:14] your vehicle if there is an

[28:16] evacuation order. Recovery time

[28:19] for different emergencies

[28:20] varies, but conditions commonly

[28:21] remain unstable. Two hours to

[28:23] two days after the emergency. If

[28:26] you have evacuated your home,

[28:28] don't reenter until officials

[28:30] say it's safe. If you're

[28:31] sheltering in place, it's

[28:32] important to assess and secure

[28:35] the area. Checking for gas and

[28:36] water leaks or broken wiring. If

[28:39] there is utility damage, turn

[28:40] them off at the source and check

[28:42] with your utility company before

[28:44] switching them on again. Do not

[28:47] shut off your gas valve unless

[28:48] you smell or hear gas leaking. A

[28:51] gas leak might smell like rotten

[28:52] eggs. To switch off your gas,

[28:55] you will most likely need to

[28:57] take a half turn on the main

[28:59] valve with a wrench. Report any

[29:00] gas leaks to your utility

[29:02] company. If a gas leak is

[29:04] suspected, do not operate any

[29:06] electrical switches. If water

[29:09] pipes are damaged, turn off the

[29:10] main water valve. Be sure not to

[29:13] flush the toilet until you know

[29:15] if the sewage lines are intact.

[29:16] If you have to shelter in place

[29:19] for a long time, assess your

[29:20] water sources. You can use water

[29:22] from Ice Cube's your plumbing as

[29:24] long as you turn off the shutoff

[29:27] valve before using or your

[29:28] switched off water heater. Do

[29:30] not drink water from the

[29:31] reservoir tank of your toilet

[29:32] pool or spa. Use this water for

[29:37] sanitary purposes only. You can

[29:39] also purify water with bleach

[29:40] with the right ratio. After

[29:43] adding bleach, stir the

[29:44] container and let it stand for

[29:47] 30 minutes before drinking. You

[29:48] now have some basic knowledge to

[29:50] safely respond during and after

[29:52] an emergency

[39:26] .

[39:26] All right, good morning and

[39:28] welcome to. TheRIGHT

[1:08:45] MINISTRIES, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S

[1:08:45] THE NAME OF THE MINISTRY, YOU

[1:08:47] NEED TO ADD THAT IN ABUNDANCE

[1:10:41] SHOULD ADDRESS, BUT MAN YOU'VE

[1:10:43] GOT A BIG PROBLEM WITH DOMESTIC

[1:10:46] COVER UP, SO TRAINING SHOULD

[1:10:48] NOT VOLVE THE LAPD IN ANY WAY,

[1:10:50] OR FOR THAT MATTER AT THE LAPD.

[1:10:53] BUT THE QUESTION IS WHY IS THE

[1:10:54] CITY OF LOS ANGELES, GETTING

[1:10:56] INVOLVED IN THE TRAINING OF

[1:10:58] DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FOR ITS

[1:11:00] EMPLOYEES, AT WHAT?

[1:22:01] I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE

[1:22:03] OF LOS ANGELES IN A VERY

[1:22:05] DIFFERENT CAPACITY.

[1:22:08] SHOULD MY APPOINTMENT BE

[1:22:13] ROLE AS PART OF THE BODY

[1:22:15] RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOS ANGELES

[1:22:16] POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[1:22:18] I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTH

[1:22:21] LOS ANGELES IN INGLEWOOD,

[1:22:24] WONDERFUL COMMUNITIES WHERE I

[1:22:28] ATTENDED PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND

[1:22:29] WENT TO BERKELEY.

[1:22:36] JOINED THE CITY ATTORNEY'S

[1:22:38] OFFICE WHERE I REMAINED THE

[1:22:40] REST OF MY NAME.

[1:22:41] I STARTED AS A PROSECUTORER

[1:22:44] WHERE I PROSECUTED DUI AND

[1:22:46] OTHER TRAFFIC RELATED CRIMES.

[1:22:47] I THEN JOINED THE CIVIL BRANCH

[1:22:50] WHERE I DEFENDED THE CITY AND

[1:22:52] ITS EMPLOYEES AND THEN

[1:22:54] MUNICIPAL BRANCH WHERE I SERVED

[1:22:56] FOR 14 YEARS IN THE PUBLIC

[1:23:25] THE EQUITY PANEL AN

[1:23:26] ACCOMPLISHMENT I'M ESPECIALLY

[1:23:27] PROUD OF BECAUSE OF THE

[1:23:29] COLLECTIVE WORK OF MANY

[1:23:31] DEDICATED COLLEAGUES THROUGHOUT

[1:23:31] THE OFFICE.

[1:23:34] SO, WHY DO I WANT TO SERVE ON

[1:23:37] THE POLICE STATION COMMISSION?

[1:23:38] I WANT TO SERVE BECAUSE I SEE

[1:23:40] IT AS A WAY TO CONTINUE MY

[1:23:42] DEDICATION TO PUBLIC SERVICE IN

[1:23:44] AN AREA I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT,

[1:23:47] GOOD POLICE ANDING PUBLIC TRUST

[1:23:48] IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[1:23:50] MY LATE FATHER LARRY AUBREY WAS

[1:23:53] A LIFELONG CHAMPION OF CIVIL

[1:23:54] RIGHTS AND IMPROVING CONDITIONS

[1:23:56] FOR BLACK PEOPLE AND OTHER

[1:24:00] HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED

[1:24:01] GROUPS ESPECIALLY IN HIS

[1:24:03] ADOPTED HOMETOWN OF LOS

[1:24:05] ANGELES, HE CARED DEEPLY ABOUT

[1:24:07] IMPROVING COMMUNITY RELATION

[1:24:07] SXZ SO DO I.

[1:24:09] THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO

[1:24:11] FURTHER THAT COMMITMENT, I ALSO

[1:24:14] WANT TO ENSURE CONTINUED

[1:24:15] PROGRESS IN THE DEPARTMENTS

[1:24:20] ADHERENCE TO CONSTITUTIONAL AS

[1:24:21] OFFICERS PERFORM THEIR CORE

[1:24:23] FUNCTION OF KEEPING ANGELINOS

[1:24:24] SAFE.

[1:24:26] OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS

[1:24:27] I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SPEPD TIME

[1:24:29] WITH OFFICERS ON THE FIELD AND

[1:24:31] SPEAK WITH THEM ABOUT THE WORK

[1:24:32] IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY

[1:24:33] SERVE.

[1:24:34] I'VE ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF

[1:24:37] SPEAKING TO MANY OF YOU PRIOR

[1:24:38] TO SITTING DOWN WITH THE FULL

[1:24:39] COUNCIL TODAY.

[1:24:40] I KNOW THERE ARE MANY PRESSING

[1:24:42] ISSUES FOR OUR POLICE

[1:24:42] DEPARTMENT.

[1:24:44] I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH ON THREE,

[1:24:47] THAT STAND OUT FOR MY

[1:24:49] DISCUSSION SXZ OBSERVATIONS,

[1:24:50] ONE USE OF FORCE.

[1:24:54] THOUGH OFFICER INVOLVED

[1:24:56] SHOOTINGS ARE DOWN THIS YEAR,

[1:24:58] THE USE OF FORCE WILL ALWAYS BE

[1:25:00] A CRITICAL ISSUE.

[1:25:02] IN ADDITION TO REVIEWING AND

[1:25:06] ADJUDICATING CATEGORICAL USES

[1:25:07] OF FORCE, THE POLICE COMMISSION

[1:25:10] PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN SETTING

[1:25:15] POLICIES INCLUDING DEESCALATION

[1:25:17] TECHNIQUES WHOEVER IT'S

[1:25:18] POSSIBLE TO RESOLVE SWAYSSING

[1:25:19] SAFELY.

[1:25:20] AS WITH MANY OF YOU, I HAVE

[1:25:23] QUESTIONS ABOUT CERTAIN ACTIONS

[1:25:25] OF PROTESTS, I HAVE EXPRESSED

[1:25:27] THAT I'M INTERESTED IN LEARN

[1:25:29] ABOUT THING CRAWED CONTROL

[1:25:32] POLICIES AND TACTICS DEPLOYED

[1:25:35] DURING THE SCENARIOS.

[1:25:37] AND CRISIS RESPONSE TEAMS AND

[1:25:40] USING THIS APPROACH WHENEVER

[1:25:43] APPROPRIATE AND FEASIBLE, I

[1:25:45] HOPE THAT I CAN EXPAND THIS

[1:25:47] WORK OVER THE TIME OF MY

[1:25:49] COMMISSION.

[1:25:51] TWO, PRETEXTUAL STOPS, AS

[1:25:52] SOMEBODY WHO GREW UP IN SOUTH

[1:25:54] LOS ANGELES, I UNDERSTAND WHY.

[1:25:57] ADHERENCE TO FAIR AND UNBIASED

[1:25:59] POLICING IS REQUIRED BY LAPD

[1:26:00] POLICY IS KEY TO THIS ISSUE AS

[1:26:02] IS THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF

[1:26:04] RESPECT AS WELL AS THE

[1:26:06] ACCOUNTABILITY.

[1:26:08] I ALSO UNDERSTAND FROM THE LAW

[1:26:10] ENFORCEMENT SIDE WHY PRETEXTUAL

[1:26:13] STOPS ARE USED FOR PUBLIC

[1:26:15] SAFETY.

[1:26:15] I'M CONTINUE TO GO FAMILIAR

[1:26:17] MYSELF WITH THE MATERIALS AND

[1:26:19] DISCUSSION SXZ OTHER INPUT ON

[1:26:21] THIS ISSUE RELATE TODAY THIS

[1:26:22] RECOMMENDATION TO BAN

[1:26:24] PRETEXTUAL STOPS.

[1:26:25] I MET WITH THE SOUTH TRAFFIC

[1:26:27] DIVISION AND HAD PRELIMINARY

[1:26:28] CONVERSATION WZ OFFICERS ON THE

[1:26:30] FIELD AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD

[1:26:31] TO LEARN MORE AND PARTICIPATING

[1:26:34] IN DISCUSSIONS TO ADDRESS THIS

[1:26:37] ISSUE.

[1:26:38] THIRD AND FINALLY FOR NOW,

[1:26:40] RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION.

[1:26:41] THE ON GOING DECLINE IN SWORN

[1:26:43] AND CIVILIAN STAFFING AT LAPD

[1:26:45] IS A PERSISTENT CHALLENGE WHICH

[1:26:47] I HOPE TO HELP THOUGHTFUL LEA

[1:26:52] DRESS AS POLICE COMMISSION ALL

[1:26:54] COMMUNITIES ALL COMMUNITIES

[1:26:55] HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPECT TIMELY

[1:26:57] AND HIGH-QUALITY SERVICE FROM

[1:26:58] THE LAPD WHICH IS CORE TO

[1:27:00] PROTECTING LIFPZ AND PROPERTY.

[1:27:01] IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT

[1:27:03] OFFICERS WHO JOIN AND SERVE

[1:27:04] WITH THE LAPD, NOT ONLY MEET

[1:27:07] REQUIRED RIGOROUS STANDARDS BUT

[1:27:09] THEY REFLECT AND RESPECT THE

[1:27:10] DIVERSITY OF THE CITY NOT JUST

[1:27:12] RACIALLY BUT ALL DIFFERENT

[1:27:14] TYPES OF BACK GROUNDS.

[1:27:16] THIS FURTHERS TRUST AND

[1:27:20] STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY

[1:27:20] RELATIONS, I LOOK FORWARD TO

[1:27:22] WORK WITHING TO HELP RETAIN

[1:27:25] RETENTION WITH LAPD.

[1:27:27] AS I SAID THERE ARE MANY ISSUES

[1:27:28] TO BE ADDRESSED, THESE ARE BUT

[1:27:30] A FEW.

[1:27:31] AND I'M AEG TORE GET STARTED.

[1:27:33] IN ADDITION TO SOUTH TRAFFIC I
