[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

[0:55] 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

[23:12] 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

[1:08:34] THAT'S A BLATANT GOVERNMENT
[1:08:38] ENDORSEMENT OF A RELIGIOUS
[1:08:40] PERSPECTIVE AND THE FACT NA IT
[1:08:43] SAYS, EXPERIENCED CHRISTIAN
[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
[1:08:50] OF CAUTION AND NOT EXPLICITLY
[1:08:53] ENDORSE A CHRISTIAN MINISTRY.
[1:08:54] I DON'T KNOW THE CRAWFORDS, I'M
[1:08:59] SURE THEY'RE WONDERFUL PEOPLE,
[1:09:00] BUT YOU SHOULD MAKE THE SIGN
[1:09:03] ABOUT THE CRAWFORD NOT ABOUT

[1:09:35] YSABEL I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO
[1:09:37] OBJECT TO HEATHER AUBREY GIVEN
[1:09:43] HER ABUSIVE, EVEN THOUGH THAT

[1:09:53] BLOCKING PUBLIC RECORDS, AND
[1:09:56] PRIVACY AS A DEPUTY CITY
[1:09:57] ATTORNEY.
[1:09:58] SO I ASSUME ALL OF YOU WHO ARE
[1:10:01] IN THE DEFUND, TOP PICK, I
[1:10:03] ASSUME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
[1:10:06] OPPOSE NUMBER 13 HEATHER BEING
[1:10:08] APPOINTED TO THE LAPD
[1:10:10] COMMISSION EVEN IF THE VOTE
[1:10:12] LOSES, LET'S SEE IF THANK YOU
[1:10:13] STAND BY WHAT YOU SAY, OR ARE
[1:10:15] YOU SELLING OUT THE PEOPLE WHO
[1:10:17] AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT PROBLEMS
[1:10:18] AT THE LAPD?
[1:10:20] OH AND BY THE WAY, THE
[1:10:24] DISCUSSION ABOUT DOMESTIC

[1:10:35] OVERSEEING, THEY'RE COMMITTING
[1:10:37] CRIMINAL COVER UPS, MS. AUBREY
[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?
[1:11:02] 40,000 EMPLOYEES?
[1:11:03] I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT
[1:11:05] SMOKING SXAN THINKS ABOUT THAT?
[1:11:07] HOW BAD IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
[1:11:10] WITH THE EMPLOYEES THAT YOU'RE
[1:11:12] PAYING FOR TRAINING, LET ALONE
[1:11:13] HAVING THE LAPD, THE LAPD AND
[1:11:15] THE LAFD WHICH HAS SO MANY
[1:11:18] PROBLEMS WITH DOMESTIC
[1:11:20] VIOLENCE, THAT'S STUNING.
[1:11:22] NO WONDER, YOU NEED TO INCREASE
[1:11:24] THE RATES WITH DOMESTIC
[1:11:26] VIOLENCE WITH ALL THAT IS BEING
[1:11:27] COVERED UP.

[1:21:58] YEARS OF SERVICE AS A CITY
[1:21:59] ATTORNEY.
[1:22:01] I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE
[1:22:02] OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE CITY
[1:22:03] OF LOS ANGELES IN A VERY
[1:22:05] DIFFERENT CAPACITY.
[1:22:08] SHOULD MY APPOINTMENT BE
[1:22:10] CONFIRMED I LOOK FORWARD TO
[1:22:12] ASSUMING A CHALLENGING AND NEW
[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
[1:27:37] HAVE MET WITH THE CAPTAINS AND

[1:27:51] AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS
[1:27:53] BODY TOWARD OUR SHARED GOAL OF

[1:38:53] NOR DOES THE ADOPTION PREVENT
[1:38:57] THE PARTIES FROM CONTINUE TO GO

[1:39:04] LITIGATION OVER THE ACQUISITION

[1:39:13] REPORT AND THE PRESENTATION,
[1:39:14] WE'RE ASKING THAT THE COUNCIL
[1:39:16] APPROVE THE ORDINANCE SO THAT
