[0:02] The first is roll call.
[0:06] Commissioner Agarwal.
[0:09] Commissioner Klein. Present.
[0:11] Commissioner. Loud.
[0:12] Yes. Vice chair.
[0:14] Present.
[0:15] Chair. Roger.
[0:19] So first thing is,
[0:21] we will last meetings minutes.
[0:25] Anybody have any questions or concerns
[0:28] about.
[0:32] Motion?
[0:32] Looks like motion.
[0:36] All right.
[0:36] Second.
[0:39] Take it to a vote.
[0:42] Wallet.
[0:44] Yes. Commissioner Klein.
[0:46] Yes. Yes.
[0:48] I yes.
[0:51] Yes. Motion carries unanimously.
[0:57] We don't have any postponements.
[1:00] Don't believe oral communications.
[1:04] We have any speakers.
[1:07] We have.
[1:12] Have no business.
[1:14] So we can jump right into the monthly report so
[1:20] we can go and fire first.
[1:24] Good evening.
[1:25] How is everybody today?
[1:27] All right.
[1:28] All righty. So,
[1:30] did you get the extension?
[1:34] I think just about.
[1:51] The month of September.
[1:52] Some of the things that happened. One of the things I'd like to
[1:55] have a clear awareness of is
[1:57] sometimes because we're a fire district, people think that, you know,
[2:00] we have different types of relationships
[2:02] and they're not clear in which one they are.
[2:04] So I want to make it very clear
[2:05] that the county fire department is Cupertino Fire Department.
[2:09] You are part of the district.
[2:11] You have three stations, 5 or 5 rigs.
[2:16] That includes a hazmat.
[2:18] It includes a tiller, which is that tractor drawn aerial.
[2:22] That's the really big, impressive truck that has two folks in it
[2:25] and three engines.
[2:26] So with that, we have a really good footprint to
[2:29] the citizens of Cooper.
[2:32] And and then also for any events or things like that,
[2:36] hopefully you see our folks out there and just like the sheriff's
[2:39] office, completely dedicated to the citizens here,
[2:43] you know, so always thought it's a great reminder
[2:47] just because sometimes, folks, because we're called to be there,
[2:52] they don't realize that we
[2:53] are actually Cupertino Fire Department.
[2:56] And with. That.
[2:58] The first page basically has had some highlights.
[3:01] There were a couple of events throughout the district, and this is
[3:04] one of the pages that focuses on.
[3:06] We did send some resources out. So you see the wildfires.
[3:09] The fire specifically is one of the biggest fires that we've had.
[3:14] Well, definitely this year it is still burning there.
[3:18] We had some resources come back yesterday.
[3:21] So we had a strike team there where we sent leadership and some engines.
[3:26] And as we see how the weather is pressing, this is very difficult terrain.
[3:32] You're going to see a lot of mutual aid throughout the state
[3:34] going to support this.
[3:35] This one's going to linger for a while to get really good wedding ring.
[3:38] So look back up
[3:41] to the fires
[3:42] that we have had here in the district, down to smaller sizes.
[3:46] A couple of them actually.
[3:49] So which is a little bit bigger than what we usually like.
[3:52] Ten acres is about the limit that we'd like
[3:53] to make sure that we're keeping those. That's our goal.
[3:56] So as we have that we have really high profile the number of rigs
[3:59] that are sent out, mutual aid requests from neighboring Cal Fire,
[4:04] partnering with San Jose or anyone throughout the district or neighboring
[4:09] through once again aid, which is by request, or auto, which is something
[4:13] that is automatically begin to help us at the borders.
[4:19] The next.
[4:24] So there were no significant events,
[4:27] anything that basically has a significant loss or there's a significant injury
[4:32] would classify.
[4:33] So you're seeing here three fires, the vegetation,
[4:36] small fires throughout the Cupertino area that really didn't amount
[4:40] to a significant loss of although they are listed they weren't they weren't big
[4:47] the fire alarms.
[4:48] And then basically I just this once again,
[4:51] our business is very stable, very static.
[4:54] And you will see the lion's share of the things that we are going through.
[4:59] And for that that is pretty well represented here.
[5:03] And then the community education events that happened
[5:08] in August includes a few school events, festivals and things like that.
[5:12] That's where we see such big numbers.
[5:14] We are working on trying to become a little bit more transparent,
[5:17] so you can actually see what it is
[5:18] that we're doing and how people are making contact.
[5:21] These are the attendance numbers.
[5:23] So that's why some so large Apple,
[5:26] the high school, middle school that is more than one school.
[5:29] Several schools fire drills around the types of.
[5:35] All right.
[5:35] So city of Cooper.
[5:36] So this once again is the you'll see the three fire responses up top.
[5:41] And then the EMS responses below.
[5:43] So you can see with the small number there's usually a pretty significant skew
[5:47] of something falls out of that like really extended time where you have
[5:52] a long response because they're out there in the mountains with somewhere
[5:57] beyond their.
[6:00] The benchmark times are indicated by the red.
[6:03] The table to the right of each histogram
[6:06] is basically indicating what that baseline number that we shoot for.
[6:10] So anything that is below
[6:13] or at the line is something where we're hitting the mark.
[6:16] Overall, the once again, the difference between
[6:20] your urban and your rule is 1000 people per square mile.
[6:26] So that's the threshold there.
[6:28] So we hit it pretty quick as we start moving up
[6:32] to the west.
[6:33] And then as we're here in the more populated urban areas,
[6:38] the density gets much, much more significant.
[6:42] The average size for a fire apparatus on the EMS thing.
[6:47] I'll just call that once again 223 games events.
[6:50] So for for the calls that we have here, the response times
[6:55] these are actually I would consider actually
[6:59] there's really there's a significant margin there.
[7:02] So we're doing well.
[7:03] And basically we're
[7:04] full staffing right now we don't have a lot of resources deployed.
[7:07] So our rigs are actually in service.
[7:09] Our folks are a little stressed out with some of the
[7:12] the forced overtime, but the seats are still full.
[7:16] We have full staffing, we're doing more hiring,
[7:18] and we're going to have new academies starting.
[7:23] That.
[7:24] We we.
[7:24] Have staff firefighters are be here for you.
[7:29] Nine please.
[7:32] All right.
[7:32] So five time once again this tracks significantly.
[7:36] And this is the entire distance of the number of fires
[7:40] that that's usually that's largely the incidents that are
[7:46] mostly vegetation fires in the district right now.
[7:49] We've been getting a lot of those little ones,
[7:51] but they've been with the weather.
[7:53] We were expecting it.
[7:55] We've been very fortunate.
[7:56] But I'm a little superstitious, so I'm not going to say
[7:58] we're in good shape right now. We are still in fire season.
[8:01] All of the work that we've been doing, we've been experiencing some benefits
[8:05] from the shaded fuel breaks and some of the others
[8:08] so that the strategic stops for the violent areas.
[8:11] And we've been lucky because we have
[8:13] had some in the West Valley mountains, but they have been successfully stopped
[8:17] in partnership with the resources from Cal Fire, including aircraft.
[8:22] And those are primarily
[8:24] most effective tools in putting out fires in these remote areas.
[8:28] And then for the number of incidents here to date,
[8:32] you can see as we continue with the year, continue to climb, and we'll see
[8:36] more of that move into the future.
[8:40] I had a quick question. What is service.
[8:42] Search service second, okay, I special.
[8:46] Service call is anything that really falls into it's like a catch all.
[8:49] So if you had a because of timber there was smoke in the area.
[8:54] So you might get a phone call.
[8:55] We might get a call
[8:56] that says hey, it's hazy out here and I think there might be a fire
[9:00] in the area, what we call to go out and do a report on conditions.
[9:05] So they'll go out
[9:06] and they'll be able to verify that there is nothing that has been found, or
[9:10] maybe even find something that was basically not located,
[9:13] but it was identified by a citizen that just smelled something.
[9:16] It could also be broken up in your house.
[9:18] It can be a
[9:22] a person.
[9:22] That is, there are types of assists for Thurston.
[9:27] Might need to move from a bed
[9:31] to a wheelchair where you know they don't have a medical problem.
[9:35] It's not just so they just need help.
[9:38] Those those are the types of things you see for service.
[9:41] Thanks.
[9:44] And all right so natural preparedness.
[9:48] So this is the page that we use in order to try to amplify some messages.
[9:53] They usually track to the big messages that are being sent out by
[9:57] or just general safety.
[9:58] So you'll see when you see battery
[10:02] safety you'll see, you know, different types of things.
[10:05] So right now we're
[10:07] looking at the community and the National Preparedness Month.
[10:11] So not a good time to the emergency kit.
[10:17] The making a plan staying informed knowing your zone.
[10:20] Those are all wildfire related.
[10:22] They're relevant for the time.
[10:24] Some of the things that I will stress is, is the use of the
[10:28] genesis for that or and SEC.
[10:32] They work in conjunction with each other.
[10:33] So I'm going to say that every time I talk to you, because there's no way
[10:36] to be prepared enough when it comes to that.
[10:39] They have different uses and different time frames where you would use them.
[10:44] So again, questions I'd be very happy to answer any one of those systems.
[10:50] And then we did just finish the
[10:52] final Community Wildfire workshop.
[10:56] So I think we have another one that we may be participating in.
[11:00] Reach Out.
[11:01] And it might be I think it's in good
[11:04] verified just received that last week.
[11:06] So if you have any questions.
[11:09] Happy to answer them. And.
[11:20] So I might miss.
[11:23] Do you have that instant
[11:24] response time trends how we are doing for the year on year.
[11:28] The year to year or so, how we did in relation to last year response times?
[11:33] I do not have that metric.
[11:34] Then I could try to find or I can look at archive info because it is
[11:39] it's usually a snapshot.
[11:40] That. Is it a possible trend or a negative trend.
[11:43] Like that's what I want. Oh gosh. Yeah.
[11:47] Okay.
[11:47] And also I don't know do we have metrics.
[11:52] We did some work promote
[11:55] electric and Genesis. Right.
[11:57] I don't know how much impact we made.
[11:59] Do you have like the data how we are doing by monthly or something?
[12:05] I can. Get that.
[12:06] As a matter of fact, I was just at yesterday
[12:09] and I looked at some of our old numbers because we were having
[12:12] this very conversation. Right.
[12:14] So I can get that.
[12:15] I'll put that down as a, as an item I'll report out on.
[12:18] I think if we can take those numbers, take a look at maybe how we've done
[12:23] over the last three years as we talked about this, we met
[12:27] yesterday. So.
[12:30] Maybe we can come up with some framework
[12:34] so that you have data that will allow you to make some kind of
[12:41] assumptions,
[12:42] predictions, or lead us to some new questions.
[12:46] That way we could explore maybe how you be able to use
[12:48] that as we move forward to really push that,
[12:52] because I think establishing metrics and making them known is
[12:57] probably one of the most important things that we can do
[13:00] now. I tried to push the
[13:02] Santa Clara County Library like bigger science.
[13:06] I don't think it went anywhere.
[13:09] They are still displaying the whatever the small pockets.
[13:12] We have the information projects last time I think couple of meetings back
[13:16] that's that's being displayed at least in libraries,
[13:19] but they are not able to display anything bigger than that.
[13:21] I was hoping I mean, they have a lot of other information, right?
[13:24] But I don't know, like what are the other better ways to communicate
[13:29] because I don't know if next door Instagram, those are very active.
[13:33] I don't know how many people are visiting those. Yes.
[13:36] And yeah, it's like eventually commission reports.
[13:41] I think we'll have a bigger discussion on that. Right.
[13:45] Yeah.
[13:45] We so
[13:48] SEC stats are easy to get the water contact
[13:52] Genesis to see what types of numbers that they have.
[13:55] And I think just to be heard anything about Genesis protecting coverage.
[14:00] And you do have coverage. You have it through us.
[14:03] So I just want to make sure that is pretty much the end of it.
[14:06] You have.
[14:08] Thank you.
[14:14] Is any like oral communications
[14:17] on that on the fire report?
[14:20] We have no speakers.
[14:23] Next move on
[14:25] to the report from sheriff's office.
[14:28] All right.
[14:36] So I'm going to talk about our response times
[14:39] and then give you guys a quick overview of crime stats.
[14:43] Up until August of this year.
[14:46] And then I do want to
[14:49] talk about a little bit.
[14:51] You might have seen that the mayor had a chat.
[14:54] Is it yesterday or yesterday.
[14:56] And some of the questions came up of what's going to be our levels of service
[15:01] once the sheriff's contract expires on October 1st.
[15:05] So I wanted to talk about their just for a little bit.
[15:07] But first we'll start with the response times on the second page.
[15:12] Overall, we're doing pretty good
[15:15] when it comes down to the average response time.
[15:17] You can see that there is.
[15:18] There was a call in August
[15:20] where we exceeded the response time at eight minutes and 52 seconds.
[15:24] That call was for a domestic violence in progress.
[15:29] But as the deputies were responding,
[15:32] it turned out that the victim or the reporting party was not at home.
[15:37] And so deputies kind of slowed down a little bit, make sure that we had enough
[15:40] people there before we made contact with the individual.
[15:44] So it should have been downgraded to a party to call since
[15:47] since one of the parties was not at the residence,
[15:49] but for some reason it stuck as a priority one.
[15:53] So it like I said, sometimes these calls come out and,
[15:59] you know, it seems like it's a priority one call and the information changes
[16:03] while we're there.
[16:03] The victim was actually in Sunnyvale, I believe, not at the house.
[16:07] And, you know, so deputy,
[16:09] the deputy was slowing down a bit and said,
[16:11] let me get some more additional units here.
[16:13] And then we made contacted unfortunately went over
[16:16] by our target response time, which was five minutes
[16:20] technically a party to call, which would have been in a perfect timing.
[16:24] So I'm trying to work with County Communications
[16:25] to see if we can move that back down to about two call and the next slide.
[16:31] As you can see.
[16:33] Where we're doing
[16:36] okay with residential burglaries.
[16:39] We're actually doing really well.
[16:42] Residential burglaries where we're not doing so great is vehicle
[16:46] burglaries. We have
[16:50] we have
[16:50] a crew out there right now that's conducting some vehicle break ins.
[16:54] We have our regional auto theft task force, which is our task force,
[16:59] which is a task force composed of a couple of our sheriff's deputies,
[17:03] district attorney, a couple of officers from Mountain View, San Jose PD.
[17:08] They are aware of the suspects in these vehicle Break-Ins we have,
[17:13] but they're working a different case, unfortunately.
[17:16] And so there, you know,
[17:17] I don't want to get too much of the details, but essentially
[17:20] the individuals that are responsible for this have been identified,
[17:24] but they're working on something a little bit differently, unfortunately.
[17:27] So we have to we can't like make contact with the individual because they're
[17:32] they're investigating higher crime.
[17:33] So unfortunately.
[17:36] But we do have them identified.
[17:37] So once we once that wraps
[17:38] up, we're able to probably prosecute some of those auto break ins.
[17:42] We had 16 in July and six in August, a lot of them attributed to the same group
[17:46] of individuals.
[17:47] So, and then as you can see, some of the regular stats is pretty much
[17:53] we're we've been on par for,
[17:56] you know, every average I mean, identity theft, we're, we're getting up to 109.
[18:00] And I'd like to see that one go down a little bit more.
[18:01] But you know, unfortunately people fall for scams online and there's not a lot
[18:07] we can do about that.
[18:08] So not really over the accident stuff, but the citation stuff.
[18:12] But I will say that we had the Apple product release event
[18:16] went off pretty, pretty well without any incidents.
[18:19] And then this Saturday we have the fall festival.
[18:22] As well.
[18:23] There will be we'll have a booth out there with some of our staff.
[18:26] So and I just want to touch base
[18:30] a little bit on the service level starting October 1st.
[18:33] So for for those of you guys who are not aware,
[18:35] the contract with the Sheriff's office expired.
[18:38] And in June and of June, the county authorized
[18:43] a three month extension, which expires on September 30th, October 1st.
[18:48] Unfortunately, we since we, Darius, know
[18:53] at least a no anticipated plan that I know of where
[18:58] the Cupertino will sign the contract at this point in time.
[19:00] They do have a.
[19:01] I think the 15th there is a council meeting
[19:03] and it is on the agenda, but I don't see it as a approval
[19:06] or it's more of a discussion for the contract.
[19:09] So unfortunately, the county has made
[19:13] us move my staff to funded positions.
[19:17] So I will have to relocate approximately 23 deputies out of the West
[19:22] Valley office to different, different funded codes in San Jose
[19:27] and our transit division, which includes Bart and
[19:32] Milpitas stations and also for supervisors.
[19:36] Additionally, our school resource officers will not be available
[19:40] for any of the schools since they become technically unfunded
[19:44] at that point in time.
[19:45] And as well of our traffic, deputies were
[19:48] also not be available for accidents.
[19:52] We're reaching out to Seneca PD,
[19:55] Sunnyvale DPS, and the CHP to see if they can assist.
[19:58] I will have unfortunately not a lot of staffing for West Valley.
[20:03] We will do our best to respond to calls for service, especially priority
[20:07] one calls by utilizing our county resources.
[20:11] But until we have a funded contract,
[20:15] we will no longer be able to participate in neighborhood
[20:19] watch community events, assist Apple with any corporate events,
[20:23] and nor will I be able to provide any weekly or monthly reports, since
[20:28] those are all parts of the contract that that are funded through the by the city.
[20:33] We will the Sheriff's office going to do the best
[20:37] to try to organize some community meetings in the next couple of days
[20:41] so that we can alert residents what to expect.
[20:44] October 1st, longer response times sometimes,
[20:48] maybe, if we may not be able to respond to certain calls for service.
[20:52] And so we want to make sure that the alert residents
[20:56] that this is going to be a significant change starting October 1st.
[20:59] And so, like I said, my my staff is going to be whittled down
[21:03] pretty significantly to anywhere from 5 to 7 deputies on a shift.
[21:07] And that includes the contracted positions of Saratoga and Los Altos Hills.
[21:12] They they did they did sign the contract, Los Altos and Saratoga.
[21:16] So I do have funding for those two cities, but I don't have any funding
[21:20] for Steve Cupertino at this time.
[21:22] I don't think it's a from what we gather,
[21:26] and I've talked to the city manager and I've talked to the mayor,
[21:29] it's not even talked to them. But I've heard the mayor's statements.
[21:32] I don't think it's necessarily anything to do with the sheriff's office.
[21:35] A lot of issues with the County of Finance portion of it.
[21:40] So if the codes are not funded, I can't keep them here.
[21:44] And so I have to move them
[21:45] over to funded positions that are open within the sheriff's office.
[21:49] So there's probably a lot of questions regarding that.
[21:53] And so they say
[21:54] we're working in the community meetings so that we can alert residents that
[21:58] I just don't I won't have staff available to attend a lot of these things.
[22:02] So with that, I will add my report.
[22:06] And you guys have been far away all the questions.
[22:11] So just
[22:11] a reminder, the vision to have a city council meeting
[22:15] where the public can attend,
[22:17] and that would be the appropriate place to get information on the issue.
[22:20] And as well as the county's public forums.
[22:25] Yeah, thanks for the presentation.
[22:29] You mentioned that stat
[22:31] of 23 deputies moving out of West Valley,
[22:34] and then it'll be down to like 5 to 7 deputies per shift,
[22:39] but that's like split across I guess Saratoga.
[22:43] Correct.
[22:44] Since toga signed the contract a couple of weeks ago in Los
[22:47] Altos, will sign that a few weeks ago as well.
[22:50] Those positions became funded, so I was able to keep
[22:53] staffing in Los Altos Hills and keep staffing in Saratoga.
[22:57] And it's not necessarily that there's 23 deputies
[23:00] assigned to the city of Cupertino.
[23:02] It's just when the funding came up, that's about how much,
[23:06] how many FTEs or full time equivalent
[23:09] were deducted from my basically my, my, my ability to pay.
[23:15] So they had to go to open positions.
[23:17] And we do have open positions
[23:20] in other divisions, including our Valley Transit Authority positions.
[23:24] So those deputies are going to be relocated, different shifts,
[23:27] perhaps different times that they have to work now.
[23:29] But we're moving into funded positions. So.
[23:34] So I had.
[23:34] A question about lead times when things like this happen, which is your.
[23:38] Psychology, just for my commission, that we have to stick to the agenda
[23:42] to make sure we are in compliance.
[23:44] But there are going to be public engagement opportunities
[23:47] from both the city and the county to feel more okay.
[23:52] And I apologize, but I wanted to bring this up
[23:54] because it is part of the report, and I wanted to make sure that
[23:57] at least alerted you guys the possibility of these other public meetings
[24:01] that are so.
[24:02] We appreciate it.
[24:03] It's an absolutely important topic.
[24:05] Yeah. Thank you very much.
[24:06] I think we've heard about people
[24:08] also praising all the great work your team does, right.
[24:11] I think we will wait for the appropriate city council forum.
[24:15] But yeah, thanks for letting us.
[24:16] I think it's important we can cascade that there is a potential.
[24:21] Yeah. And yeah.
[24:23] Good question.
[24:24] On. The commercial property.
[24:31] Does it include.
[24:32] The building materials stolen from construction sites?
[24:37] Good question.
[24:38] So yes, a commercial burglary is essentially
[24:42] it's a different type of crime.
[24:44] So we have up here you have three different kinds of burglaries.
[24:47] You have your residential burglary. Right. Which is pretty simple.
[24:50] I'm sorry.
[24:50] It's an inhabited dwelling or a dwelling that could be inhabited.
[24:55] A house under construction that is not inhabited is considered
[24:59] a commercial building at the time.
[25:01] So, yes, a house under construction, that is, if somebody went in there
[25:04] and stole, like the washer and dryer from a house under construction, be
[25:07] classified as a as a commercial burglary since since it's not a place
[25:11] that that isn't that could be or was inhabited by some.
[25:16] Yeah.
[25:17] And most of the time that's commercial burglary.
[25:19] Put that as people who commit burglaries at a, at a business place of business,
[25:24] since it's not necessarily a dwelling,
[25:26] a dwelling that's a different type of crime in this under residential burglary.
[25:30] Then you also have your vehicle burglary, which is self-explanatory, that it's a
[25:34] that is a vehicle that's broken into.
[25:35] So I have.
[25:37] To say has several construction sites building offices.
[25:42] But their copper pipes. And.
[25:45] Yes, and those would be the same thing if somebody broke into a business
[25:49] and stole those items, it would be classified as a commercial burglary.
[25:53] Yeah. Thank you.
[25:56] So so I have follow up question.
[25:58] I understand this contract issues going on.
[26:02] Right.
[26:02] But I mean, I see a couple of emails
[26:06] we received as public safety commission
[26:08] about some of the city council election
[26:12] interference or the political science misplacement.
[26:17] So like sheriff's department going to able to support or like what is your.
[26:24] So we've been looking into some of these these complaints about political
[26:28] science and not to go to.
[26:33] Too much into into details of it.
[26:35] But essentially we we just don't.
[26:39] In order for us to take crime report, you have to have a victim, right?
[26:41] You have to have somebody says, I've been victimized of this.
[26:44] And this is I want to report this as a crime.
[26:46] And a lot of times when we get situations like clinical science,
[26:50] some some candidates,
[26:52] some campaign managers come forward and say we want to be victims.
[26:56] Sometimes they don't.
[26:57] And so if they don't, we don't necessarily document it because there is no crime.
[27:02] Essentially, we need to have the victim
[27:05] making it crime report so that we can document it.
[27:08] You know, if it if it comes to prevalent or sometimes it becomes a nuisance,
[27:13] we may document things like suspicious circumstances for the city's purposes,
[27:17] but at this situation or situations with campaign, since
[27:20] we just don't have any information yet regarding a potential victim
[27:24] where this is a problem yet.
[27:25] But but we have been called several times and alerted
[27:29] of campaign sensitive and placed or removed in certain places.
[27:35] So you're still looking into.
[27:37] Still looking into some of these terms.
[27:38] It's like I said, it's just we need to have somebody on paper saying
[27:43] I've been victimized or or something like that and
[27:46] long those lines. So.
[27:54] Thank you.
[27:55] That's my report.
[27:58] Any communication.
[28:02] We have no speakers.
[28:06] Yeah.
[28:06] I guess motion to do a motion to receive the reports or is that.
[28:11] No motion is needed.
[28:13] So yeah.
[28:15] Moving on to the next thing dated draft of the emergency
[28:20] operations plan.
[28:35] Good evening, commissioners and chair.
[28:37] So this will be a quick update on the emergency operations plan.
[28:42] So I'll cover for things what we're doing with the update
[28:45] and some of the distinctions from the existing emergency Operations Plan or EOP.
[28:50] We're going to cover functional needs access and functional needs.
[28:53] Excuse me how we're harmonizing with the Santa Clara
[28:56] County Office of Emergency Management jurisdictional template and utilizing
[29:01] the Carlos crosswalk of state and federal regulations and laws.
[29:07] So just for public Information and Emergency Operations Plan, or EOP,
[29:12] it's our all hazards approach to emergency management
[29:16] as an emergency organization with the city of Cupertino.
[29:20] So that includes our partner agencies.
[29:23] Our city departments and divisions are disaster service workers
[29:26] and people within the whole community businesses, nonprofits.
[29:30] It's how this whole organization functions in response.
[29:34] And it's meant to comply with our state standardized emergency management system,
[29:39] the National Incident Management System, and of course, the insane criminal system
[29:44] and our colleagues.
[29:45] I'll do a quick introduction from O'Brien's Michael Contreras.
[29:49] And he's him and Doug Maine have been our colleagues
[29:55] that are drafting the plan and working with me.
[29:58] Michael has over 30 years of emergency management experience.
[30:01] He's the former director of emergency operations for LA County Public Health,
[30:05] the former lead emergency manager for the US Bureau of Land Management,
[30:09] and has served as the emergency manager with the US Air Force
[30:12] with the focus on chemical and biological warfare defense.
[30:16] Doug Maine has over 30 years of emergency management experience and is the former
[30:22] administrator of emergency Management for the State of Hawaii
[30:25] and a formal federal coordinator for the office officer for FEMA.
[30:31] Since 2015, he's been working as a consultant,
[30:34] doing work in South America, the Caribbean, Asia and the Middle East.
[30:38] So a lot of experience.
[30:40] And if there's any questions I can't answer,
[30:43] they're here to help support and make sure that those questions are answered.
[30:48] So just a
[30:50] really high level you'll see different types
[30:52] of individuals access and functional needs is an emergency management
[30:56] framework for how do we support people who may need additional support.
[31:01] So whether it's assistance, accommodations or other resources,
[31:04] this can be our older adults, individuals with disabilities, unaccompanied minors,
[31:09] people with limited English proficiency and people with limited
[31:13] transportation access, and individuals who are pregnant.
[31:17] There's a lot more categories, but to make sure we're being mindful
[31:21] and incorporating this into our emergency operations. And.
[31:27] For the third point of the Santa Clara
[31:30] County Office of Emergency Management jurisdictional template.
[31:33] That's a mouthful. Apologies.
[31:35] So we want to make sure with Sam's as our California standardized
[31:39] emergency Management system, we are going with that next level of government
[31:43] which is the county.
[31:44] So when it goes beyond our capabilities as a city to manage,
[31:48] and we've tapped out our mutual aid and we've exhausted our resources.
[31:52] When we look to support, we're looking to the county.
[31:55] And by harmonizing our plans, we're able to make sure that they're easier
[31:59] to understand.
[32:00] And it's another way to state that coordination work
[32:03] that goes on during emergencies from the emergency organization.
[32:10] The last kind of big differentiator
[32:14] from the existing plan, Carlos provides a crosswalk to local government.
[32:19] It's intended for counties.
[32:21] However, there's been about ten different
[32:24] types of laws that provide requirements and or guidance
[32:28] that sometimes trickles down to the city level between 2016 and 2025.
[32:33] So to make sure we're in compliance with those state and federal laws,
[32:36] we've used this crosswalk to make sure line item that we are hitting
[32:40] those standards for, have an understanding of how it will work during an emergency.
[32:46] If it is out of our of our authorities.
[32:50] So that's my overview and.
[32:55] Thank you.
[33:00] Yeah, it's just one question.
[33:02] So I guess aside from the
[33:05] like the making, the plan is like better
[33:08] to work with other jurisdictions and so forth.
[33:11] Like are there any I guess like new scenarios
[33:15] or I guess more like situational considerations
[33:19] that are now part of the EP that weren't a factor before?
[33:22] Yeah, the LP, the emergency Operations plan is a baseline plan,
[33:26] and it follows FEMA's guidance.
[33:28] We have things called annexes, which are not part of this baseline plan.
[33:32] Annexes can have two areas of focus.
[33:35] The first one is sometimes you write it around a function like care and shelter
[33:39] where you're sheltering people fire, earthquake, flood.
[33:43] You may need sheltering.
[33:44] So it's functional based or hazard base.
[33:47] So wildfires earthquakes.
[33:50] So those are not covered under this.
[33:52] The focus is really that baseline plan within all hazards approach.
[33:57] Yeah.
[33:58] And we'll be working in the future to develop and build out those annexes.
[34:04] I see. Thanks.
[34:05] And I guess to like do these plans
[34:11] also I guess account for like changing fiscal conditions
[34:17] or have they changed in any way as a result of anything.
[34:19] These are intended to be very high
[34:21] level plans because they have to adapt to emergency situations.
[34:25] One of the things that's important to understand when you make proclamations,
[34:30] if they're and you are certain baseline of damage,
[34:33] you can escalate into state can follow suit.
[34:36] If you hit those damage estimates.
[34:38] And it feels a lot of Cd-R California Disaster Assistance Act funding.
[34:44] And then if it gets the federal level like a major disaster declaration
[34:48] when you also hit certain thresholds and that's been issued, you can also open up
[34:54] different buckets of public assistance, including response operations.
[34:59] It's not a full coverage, but it covers quite a bit.
[35:02] I see.
[35:07] Yeah. And
[35:09] is there.
[35:10] So there's no, I guess, scope for something
[35:14] like being removed or like, oh, like this particular procedure
[35:19] can't be carried out because the I guess, you know, money isn't there.
[35:24] This is.
[35:24] That this is a higher level plan that's supposed to be adopted
[35:28] based on the needs of the incident.
[35:30] One thing is you don't want to be concerned about those things.
[35:33] If the incident is intense enough or it's complex enough.
[35:37] Excuse me.
[35:38] Got it. Okay. Thanks.
[35:41] Question.
[35:43] It's that way to know
[35:44] what those bills that are added to the government are and what?
[35:48] Yeah, absolutely.
[35:49] It's all public information.
[35:50] So a lot of them and I have a I have a list with this specific
[35:53] legislation.
[35:54] A lot of it does address access and functional needs.
[35:58] And sometimes you'll address alert and warning.
[36:01] Other ones will address compliance with how you make sure
[36:05] to take care of people's pets.
[36:07] So there's a there's a list of them.
[36:09] And please feel free to reach out.
[36:12] I can send it as a as information as well.
[36:18] When do you expect that to be ready?
[36:20] We're hoping to finish it this year.
[36:23] There's two more approval bodies that we want to go through culminating
[36:27] city council.
[36:33] So. So currently you have some plan right.
[36:36] But your updating the plan.
[36:38] Yeah.
[36:39] This is an update to the 2019 emergency operations plan.
[36:44] So it kind of the whatever was the 2019 is the plan.
[36:49] The current. Plan your you're updating it.
[36:52] This is an update to the emergency operation plan that currently exists.
[36:55] So are you also integrating with the Genesis?
[36:59] I'm sorry.
[37:00] For the emergency preparedness right.
[37:02] For evacuations and all.
[37:04] Are you working with the Genesis or how how are you integrated
[37:07] with the city department is integrated with Genesis.
[37:10] Yeah.
[37:11] Santa Clara County Fire has provided us access.
[37:13] So we do have an account and we can look at it.
[37:16] It's always in coordination with Santa Clara.
[37:19] Sorry. Alert. Santa Clara County SEC.
[37:22] Alert SEC.
[37:23] Which is also a county product, which does dissemination
[37:27] Genesis of alert messages issued by our partner agencies.
[37:31] First response partners.
[37:32] Genesis itself is for understanding evacuation zones.
[37:37] So when you're seeing that information, it's all public information on the web
[37:41] and you can see it.
[37:42] We are allowed our department, Office of Emergency Management
[37:45] can see the back end for Genesis.
[37:48] And we have alerting capabilities under Santa Clara County's alerting.
[37:54] That's good.
[37:55] So so you how many drills are like how do you know that?
[37:58] I understand you're updating the plan right.
[38:01] How do you know that plan is effective for you know I'm basic question right.
[38:04] Like whether let's say when we work in corporates
[38:08] and all like we have disaster recovery, we have a plan.
[38:11] We do like executed plan to see, hey, is our plan
[38:15] update is it is our plan is sufficient enough.
[38:19] Right. How do you assess your plan. Yeah.
[38:22] So there's different ways to test out your plan.
[38:24] A lot of it is training and exercise.
[38:26] So you can do a series of exercise.
[38:28] Sometimes it starts at a table.
[38:30] You're having a discussion a tabletop exercise is what we call it.
[38:35] And then move it up
[38:36] and escalate it into potentially a functional exercise or a drill,
[38:39] and then potentially a full scale exercise where you're testing it in real life.
[38:44] Some of the other tools we use is these approval bodies there
[38:47] with our response partners or with our departments,
[38:50] to reaffirm the roles and responsibilities that we regularly train on
[38:56] so that people know, hey, we're getting training on what we'll be doing.
[39:00] So through that program of training exercise discussions,
[39:05] we're able to really understand, is this working for our needs?
[39:09] And I think the big thing to understand
[39:11] it is a higher level way of providing information.
[39:16] It's organized chaos.
[39:17] It's really providing a structure for how you allow people
[39:20] to use their very transferable skills and knowledge bases.
[39:24] And the other core thing about the emergency operations center,
[39:29] when it's activated as a tool for organizing,
[39:33] we're supporting the needs of the field, the needs of the field.
[39:37] And what that means is when our first
[39:40] partners are trying to focus on life safety,
[39:42] our goal is to make sure they can do their job.
[39:44] If they need a shelter to place people,
[39:46] we're supporting that if they need coordination and policy support
[39:49] for the city of Cupertino, that's how we're going to support.
[39:53] Okay. So I mean, like.
[39:57] Perhaps the commission would
[39:58] like to hear that the entire presentation and then ask questions.
[40:02] Oh oh.
[40:03] Oh, no, this this part, this update is complete.
[40:08] Oh, okay.
[40:09] That's what I thought. Okay.
[40:12] I was expecting a longer presentation, but this is so so I was hoping not now.
[40:16] Right.
[40:16] Maybe offline if you can give us some of the like more detailed.
[40:21] Any data points. Right. Absolutely.
[40:23] That way, like we can share with other citizens of people
[40:27] and see if they have any feedback.
[40:28] Absolutely. Yeah.
[40:30] Thank you.
[40:36] Any real communications on..
[40:39] We have no speakers.
[40:41] Sure.
[40:44] Yeah.
[40:44] That we can move on to staff and commission reports.
[40:48] So yeah, it's the first item.
[40:50] Staff updates.
[40:56] Sorry.
[40:57] That's me again.
[41:08] I have two staff reports.
[41:10] One is on alert and warning and the Lehigh Permanente quarry update.
[41:14] So just to give public context, there was requests
[41:18] from previous public safety commissions on increasing our ability
[41:21] to registration within alert SEC for alert and warning.
[41:25] So I want to explain three things into the integrated public alert
[41:29] and warning system and mass notification, and how they're different
[41:33] and how they're both part of the alert SCC system.
[41:37] And then just a quick update on Cupertino, mass notification
[41:41] brought up in the May Public Safety Commission.
[41:45] So I pause.
[41:46] This is the federal system, the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System.
[41:50] All types of different levels of government, from federal
[41:53] to local, can use it.
[41:54] And you can see here it disseminates it
[41:57] through the ESE system, television and radio.
[42:01] We wireless emergency alerts and National Weather Service.
[42:05] Those are the most traditional.
[42:06] They don't need your contact information.
[42:08] If the infrastructure is there they'll push out that information.
[42:12] You'll receive it.
[42:12] You'll have to register,
[42:14] however, because we want to make sure we have redundant systems,
[42:18] we also have mass notification which is also under alert
[42:23] CC. So the difference is this is geo targeted.
[42:27] The best contacts are the ones where people register and update their accounts.
[42:31] Which is why you'll see
[42:32] you saw a lot of our partner agencies pushing for people to register.
[42:36] The other thing is the iPod system.
[42:40] It's not as targeted as mass notification
[42:44] on alert SEC, which if you see the picture, you see that
[42:48] that area that's been highlighted in orange.
[42:51] If you're sending it, only the people in orange are going to get notified.
[42:55] So it's very targeted.
[42:56] And that's what those address do addresses provide.
[43:00] You also need either a voice phone
[43:03] number of a landline, an SMS
[43:06] writer for our community members who are deaf or hard of hearing and or email.
[43:10] Those are our delivery methods through alert SCC.
[43:14] So it is important.
[43:16] It's a redundant method and what we're doing.
[43:19] So these are some of the recommendations.
[43:21] And we've been examining them and reaching out to these organizations
[43:24] for databases, because that's another way to get that information
[43:28] from different utilities for the or our voter rolls.
[43:33] We're looking to see if we can integrate that into the system.
[43:36] So that's one way to get and increase our numbers.
[43:39] Community outreach.
[43:40] That's a big one because people will be actively managing their accounts.
[43:44] So when you know your zone or you're signed up for alert SEC, you're engaged.
[43:49] When you sign up, you understand a little bit more about how it works.
[43:52] So we've been reaching out to churches, homeowners associations,
[43:58] apartment complexes, including some of the recommendations that were made.
[44:03] And our goal is to be tabling at our events, signing people up on site
[44:07] and taking that moments of high intent very seriously.
[44:11] And of course, digital campaign.
[44:13] So those are the core updates and we just want to mind the public.
[44:19] You can register.
[44:19] You can do our code for alert SEC.
[44:24] And end of report.
[44:29] Yeah.
[44:32] Yeah maybe maybe we already covered it.
[44:36] But I suppose if there are like stats maybe or like some kind of like charts on
[44:42] what's what the slope looks like in terms of
[44:46] registrations I think would be pretty cool.
[44:50] Make sure to provide that as an update.
[44:54] That's what we're in. And or
[44:57] I'll follow up
[44:58] to the Public Safety Commission.
[45:02] And yeah, I guess I can share it from my side.
[45:05] Just really briefly.
[45:07] I guess the main vectors that I've personally been doing
[45:11] or been like just going door to door, my neighborhood,
[45:15] like handing out those like cards that we got last time
[45:21] and then like also the library and doors and stuff like that.
[45:26] Ending it out, people.
[45:28] That's why I was wondering, like, it'd be interesting to see how
[45:31] those things are scaling in the, the chart and stuff.
[45:38] Yeah, it's going to move on to the Leo.
[45:40] So all right.
[45:42] I think this this in the previous meetings slightly displaying a bigger
[45:46] display in like, you know, whether it's library or
[45:51] people or senior center.
[45:53] So anything we can do to make it a bigger
[45:56] display.
[46:01] For the registrations.
[46:05] So sorry.
[46:06] Yeah. It's a question. Right.
[46:08] So we do have sandwich cause there's a different alternative
[46:11] methods that we can do.
[46:12] So we'll test them out, see how they work and provide
[46:16] an update during the next Public Safety Council meeting or commission.
[46:20] Excuse me
[46:21] because we have been discussing lost several meetings, but we don't know
[46:24] whether we are making an impact or anything else.
[46:26] It looks like you're doing great outreach,
[46:28] especially going to that apartment houses and see if that's that's
[46:33] I think it over age,
[46:34] but I think we want to see the numbers and also what are the other ways,
[46:38] specially what the stats we had meeting that was not good.
[46:44] Understood.
[46:46] Thank you.
[46:50] All right.
[46:51] Yeah.
[46:52] Move on to the permanent
[46:55] oral communications on this.
[46:58] We have no speaker's chair. Okay.
[47:00] All right.
[47:01] We'll move on to the Lehigh permanent quarry update.
[47:05] Yeah.
[47:05] So we just want to make sure that people had public information
[47:09] on what was going on.
[47:10] So there will be a cement plant and quarry annual meeting.
[47:15] And it's coming up September 30th on Wednesday from 6 to 7:30 p.m..
[47:19] It is a virtual meeting, so you'll get the right experts
[47:23] who have the appropriate information on the subject.
[47:27] And you can either go to the Bitly or use the QR code provided.
[47:32] Register for the event and it is a virtual event
[47:35] so you can watch it from the comfort of your own.
[47:46] Where is this available to the citizenry.
[47:49] Online, and it's being put on by Supervisor
[47:53] Supervisor Margaret Koga.
[47:56] And I'm sorry, did I answer your question?
[47:59] Well, sort of.
[48:00] I live across the cemetery. From.
[48:03] Behind. So.
[48:05] Like, how would my neighbors know about this?
[48:08] That's a great. I don't think people go to.
[48:10] The website where.
[48:12] Anything great.
[48:12] So this is we're going to be starting
[48:15] we're going to start putting more information out on this.
[48:17] This is not a City of Cupertino event though.
[48:20] So this is one forum where we're going to make sure it gets started getting posted.
[48:23] Yeah.
[48:26] And end of report.
[48:32] Can we get this
[48:34] in email please?
[48:35] Yeah I'll follow up with that.
[48:37] And it's also available online for the public to access.
[48:44] Any oral communication.
[48:48] We have no speakers.
[48:51] All right.
[48:53] Yeah.
[48:53] So we can move on to the cybersecurity update.
[48:56] Yeah. So happy to give update on this one.
[48:59] So essentially I think last time or last time.
[49:04] Yeah.
[49:04] Last time we basically discussed how we one of the items on our work plan for
[49:10] this year was basically bringing attention
[49:14] to some of the new forms
[49:17] of abuse and fraud that are
[49:21] on, on, on the web and so forth.
[49:24] And a couple of meetings ago,
[49:26] we got that meeting, we got that presentation
[49:28] from the detective at the sheriff's office.
[49:30] And then we kind of figured,
[49:31] all right, let's take this to city council as a recommendation to kind of
[49:35] throw their weight behind some kind of public information campaign or something.
[49:39] So in that vein, I attended the city council meeting
[49:44] and then during the oral communication space,
[49:47] sort of stated our position on this and what our recommendation is,
[49:54] I don't believe it
[49:55] has materialized into
[49:59] like concrete yet,
[50:01] but hoping that we can use this forum
[50:05] to figure out what's the next step for that.
[50:08] I believe sort of the intended action
[50:12] would be like us sending as a collective some kind of official recommendation
[50:18] to council for basically a public information campaign on.
[50:23] Rise of fraud and abuse
[50:30] scams.
[50:36] I think it's a great suggestion because I think
[50:39] we need to try multiple awareness month times.
[50:43] So yeah,
[50:45] yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah.
[50:48] Can I ask a question?
[50:49] This started before I became a commissioner.
[50:52] How is it a city issue?
[50:53] So I'm just curious about that.
[50:55] The other things are city issues.
[50:58] Yeah. I mean I guess it's similar to
[51:02] well, I guess there are citizens in the city
[51:06] are impacted by it in the same way that we might advise on like, other things.
[51:11] Right?
[51:12] I mean, I think particularly
[51:15] given that Cupertino is
[51:18] there are like demographic factors that show that we're uniquely vulnerable
[51:23] to fraud and abuse,
[51:27] like we received, like this presentation about how the
[51:32] the numbers on, I guess, what do you call it like
[51:36] losses damages this the increasing quite rapidly.
[51:40] And like the susceptible population is like expanding
[51:44] not just like, you know, senior citizens, but is now expanding throughout.
[51:48] We're a very wealthy community.
[51:50] So is the presentation
[51:53] and interested in the presentation that you guys saw?
[51:57] I think that.
[51:58] I mean, I'm sure it's available on the city site, but I think,
[52:03] I think the
[52:04] action that we ended for it to happen a couple of meetings ago
[52:08] was to sort of pass along this recommendation to council
[52:12] and see whether they can even be like a social media post
[52:16] or shared on their social platforms, that kind of thing.
[52:22] That'd be
[52:25] doable.
[52:26] Because the recommended action for
[52:28] this is only to receive the can't make a motion on this item.
[52:32] It would have to be in the agenda
[52:35] under old business or new business, what would be new business?
[52:38] It would have to be a new business item.
[52:43] Okay.
[52:46] I mean, I think there's a
[52:48] I mean, I would assume that
[52:51] the commission would have wanted this to happen
[52:55] earlier because we didn't discuss it
[52:58] as a new business and business, the publications.
[53:01] So I guess, should we send like another email to council or would be the
[53:09] proper channel for this?
[53:11] You can send an email to council.
[53:13] You can also speak at the city council meeting if you'd like to do.
[53:18] That's what would you say?
[53:20] Yeah, yeah.
[53:20] I guess the issue is like we did send an email we did present at council.
[53:26] It seems like there's maybe
[53:27] like another channel to like actually make a recommendation
[53:31] for something more concrete if I'm not understanding it correctly.
[53:36] So you, the chair,
[53:39] the city manager, and you could
[53:42] make another request to the.
[53:45] City council, you could agenda add a future
[53:49] agenda item today to discuss this.
[53:52] To have a more.
[53:53] Fulsome discussion on this topic.
[53:55] And part of that recommendation
[53:59] could be for the City Council to adopt a city work.
[54:03] So I believe that may have been
[54:06] in your last request when you address them.
[54:09] Yeah, exactly.
[54:10] So I think the I guess the question is like we
[54:12] we probably just want to hear like a decision, right?
[54:14] Like if the city council says, oh yeah, like we probably don't
[54:18] have the bandwidth for this.
[54:20] Like I guess that sort of resolves it.
[54:22] But considering that we did have it as a, as an agenda item,
[54:27] and then we did vote to make it an official recommendation,
[54:30] which we sent us an email and presented at the council.
[54:34] I guess now we're sort of waiting to hear
[54:36] like a decision of some kind or I guess, their thoughts.
[54:40] So and then I can confirm
[54:43] well, as the as the commission chair
[54:45] and you do have a meeting with the mayor of the commission
[54:48] chair and may have meeting, you can bring it up to the mayor then.
[54:52] Okay. Bullet points. Okay. Understood.
[54:55] But to but if you bring it up to the mayor,
[54:59] you would be representing the entire commission.
[55:02] So it's something that commission would need to be in a grandson and
[55:06] and so I was mentioning the city work program,
[55:10] that is we're in the middle of a two year cycle of the city council.
[55:15] So if you would want to request that they add a priority in the work
[55:20] program, that would be something that they would bring up for discussion again
[55:24] next year in the February March time frame,
[55:30] I can confirm that the council did not
[55:35] provide for direct staff.
[55:37] And you follow up on on the topic.
[55:42] So as of now, there is no action in the works.
[55:46] So you.
[55:51] Addressing the council,
[55:52] you can continue to address the topic and see if any changes.
[55:57] Council installed in December.
[56:02] So it might be a different discussion with the new.
[56:07] I do want to provide one additional update of information.
[56:10] There is a cybersecurity public awareness event for but on
[56:15] by the city of Cupertino and it will be on Thursday,
[56:19] October 1st from 6 to 8 p.m.
[56:23] at Cupertino Community Hall.
[56:26] You can also go to Cupertino.
[56:32] Or cybersecurity event.
[56:35] So that is being put on by our innovation and technology department,
[56:40] and that is publicly accessible.
[56:47] Can you
[56:48] you can get online? Yes.
[56:53] Question. Does
[56:56] City Council have goal setting sessions
[57:01] and if so,
[57:05] when it set up after the election? Yes.
[57:09] Then sir.
[57:10] Opportunity for commissions
[57:13] or publics to send forth like
[57:18] these are the important items that we would like the council
[57:20] to consider for to set the goals.
[57:23] If you could share some. Yes.
[57:26] Yes, that would happen in concert with the work program.
[57:30] Prioritization. Prioritization.
[57:31] So early in the year, Council would have a goal setting workshop
[57:35] anyone can attend. It's open to the public.
[57:38] Commissioners can also send any requests and.
[57:44] Thank you.
[57:51] Yeah.
[57:52] Thank you so much for the context and everything.
[57:56] All right.
[57:57] So so that will take it on to the mayor's meeting next week.
[58:04] The all the folks there.
[58:10] She's public comment.
[58:12] Any public comment on this?
[58:15] I have no speakers.
[58:17] So the final item here is the earthquake
[58:22] preparedness presentation.
[58:34] And that is me sharing.
[58:55] So first of all, thank.
[58:57] Justin for his help with the formatting.
[59:01] And.
[59:03] Just to give.
[59:05] A quick background. Of why.
[59:07] I'm. Interested in this,
[59:08] I've been a member of CERT for active members for ten years.
[59:13] And from the beginning.
[59:15] I've always attended whatever,
[59:19] whatever it is that we have around bikes the Duvall. The.
[59:25] Pulley and Cherry Blossom Festival, etc.
[59:29] so you definitely see me around if you ever come out and
[59:33] want to talk on this tonight, because I want to
[59:36] explain the purpose,
[59:39] explain how the city of Cupertino is
[59:42] prepared for the major earthquake.
[59:47] There is a disclaimer for the record,
[59:49] the data and findings I'm presenting tonight are compiled.
[59:54] They do not represent an official report, endorsement,
[59:57] or the views of the Commission or the city of perspective.
[1:00:01] The opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect
[1:00:05] the opinion of the city of.
[1:00:09] So reality check is
[1:00:11] there's a 72% probability of a 6.7
[1:00:15] by 2043 by the USGS.
[1:00:19] The regional sits right in the middle of the.
[1:00:23] If you see that royal blue color
[1:00:24] on the left side of your screen, that's the San Andreas.
[1:00:28] On the right side is the Hayward fault.
[1:00:31] Those are the two that are most likely, statistically to be the ones
[1:00:35] to be most active next time.
[1:00:42] So Cupertino has set up what we call artworks.
[1:00:46] So there are six zones based on the geographics of the town.
[1:00:51] The city itself on west of highway
[1:00:55] 85 is zone one, zone two, one of is the art.
[1:00:58] And then that crossroads there is search
[1:01:02] of a Sunnyvale and Stevens Creek.
[1:01:05] So that's where those four zones meet.
[1:01:08] So depending on where you live you would want to go to an Arc.
[1:01:14] Then after an event what does an arc contain by the way.
[1:01:19] Quick point
[1:01:20] I'm giving back right information and then we'll jump into the scenario.
[1:01:23] But you have to know what we're doing with this.
[1:01:25] So yeah. So what does an Arc contain.
[1:01:28] It's basically neighborhood assessment and reporting to the city.
[1:01:32] I won't go through everything here, but it's tables and chairs, shelter
[1:01:35] from the sun, small fire extinguishers,
[1:01:38] generators, comms, walkie talkies.
[1:01:41] I want to say comms is extremely important in this scenario
[1:01:46] because the more we can, more can communicate with each other,
[1:01:50] our neighbors, the better, the quicker we're going to be able
[1:01:53] to be able to get emergency
[1:01:56] personnel to where we are located.
[1:02:00] Next slide.
[1:02:02] So who should go to an arc?
[1:02:03] Essentially, an arc is a communication hub message board to neighbors
[1:02:09] and to the city, as well as a community hub.
[1:02:12] It's a gathering place, place where we'll have basic
[1:02:16] medical treatment and a green ambulance hotspot.
[1:02:20] And Arc is not.
[1:02:22] And this is important to it's not an emergency supply depot for the community.
[1:02:27] It's not a shelter or a mass care facility.
[1:02:30] It's also not a source for food or water flow residents.
[1:02:33] So it's vital that local residents prepare food and water
[1:02:38] so you can call or text 911 with all life safety issues.
[1:02:43] And I can share with here in the lower
[1:02:47] creative quake, the first after 90s.
[1:02:51] After that, quake 911 was maxed out,
[1:02:55] so there was a wait list and a long wait list at that.
[1:02:58] Fortunately was not terribly affected by that quake, but it could happen.
[1:03:04] So we ourselves have to be our own first responders.
[1:03:09] This is
[1:03:09] the inside of our top left corner chairs, medical supplies.
[1:03:13] Further back in that picture, the bottom you have generators.
[1:03:16] You can see the fire distinguished there.
[1:03:20] In the middle you have cribbing in case somebody is stuck there in heavy.
[1:03:24] That'll help to move them, be able to move them out.
[1:03:28] We've got forms top right and on the bottom
[1:03:31] we have the basic medical supplies.
[1:03:35] The major earthquake hits
[1:03:37] when that when that occurs
[1:03:40] citizen or CC, which is made up of those three branches
[1:03:45] and cares will activate when things fall off the shelf.
[1:03:50] So it's an auto activation one step scripts next.
[1:03:54] So this next one I have a breakdown of timeline in four hours.
[1:04:00] I'm going to just in the interest of time I'm going to wish everything together.
[1:04:05] So the public should absolutely check family, check their home,
[1:04:09] check their neighborhood, make sure that everyone in the local area
[1:04:13] where everyone lives is safe and absolutely turning.
[1:04:17] Tune into 1670 broadcasts.
[1:04:20] 1670 is our local public radio station
[1:04:24] and pull out an emergency radio.
[1:04:28] You can get a very good cheap radio.
[1:04:30] FRS radio requires no license for like
[1:04:33] $35 for a pair of two on Amazon.
[1:04:37] So communication, like I said,
[1:04:39] is really important for allocation of resources.
[1:04:43] And then Citizen Corps will do something
[1:04:47] called Mike Mike radio testing and
[1:04:52] basically local communication.
[1:04:55] And then there are three levels to the AAPs.
[1:04:58] This is once the arc is opened up with a set up sign in sheet.
[1:05:03] We'll set up message board and go from there.
[1:05:06] So that's our one.
[1:05:09] What will happen with the Mike?
[1:05:10] Mike is the CARES which is our local.
[1:05:15] Our local radio contact
[1:05:18] will send out a message to the county SEC.
[1:05:22] OEM will then get in touch.
[1:05:26] Also in our emergency, our own Cupertino emergency Manager
[1:05:31] or emergency office will also be in touch with the city Manager,
[1:05:36] and then the city manager will be able to help
[1:05:40] with first responders.
[1:05:45] Our two,
[1:05:46] it's the same thing, but now we have comms
[1:05:49] with the city itself, and that means that we've moved up a level.
[1:05:53] And then that next slide slide.
[1:05:57] Now we have incident command.
[1:05:59] We're doing basic search and rescue, sending people out into the neighborhood.
[1:06:04] We'll be able to treat basic injuries and assess
[1:06:08] for structural damage we brought back to the park.
[1:06:12] And then we get that to the city
[1:06:18] and then our for onward.
[1:06:21] If I can go to the next slide, then there is a lot of online
[1:06:26] information care's or SEC, which is also been brought up.
[1:06:31] Knowing your zone.
[1:06:32] That's Project Genesis.
[1:06:34] There's quick feet and apps.
[1:06:36] Those are the two that I use, but there are many out there.
[1:06:42] And so this I prep is the reality
[1:06:45] is that you're going to be your own first responder for at least three days.
[1:06:50] Now people are saying possibly seven days,
[1:06:55] but definitely listen to 1670 a m there are certain classes.
[1:07:01] Become a block leader.
[1:07:02] Take it here is already but become block cleaner.
[1:07:07] Take cert classes.
[1:07:08] There is an upcoming CERT class they have.
[1:07:12] Cupertino has continued trainings and drills.
[1:07:15] On May 30th we have like a mock earthquake at City Hall.
[1:07:18] Not a city event, but just with surge.
[1:07:24] Go kit phone bill.
[1:07:25] Kate. No. That's fine.
[1:07:27] Yeah.
[1:07:28] Oh go kit and automotive go kit
[1:07:30] by and know how to use a radio
[1:07:33] and emergency preparedness.
[1:07:37] Three days of food and water.
[1:07:38] You can get those pre-made.
[1:07:40] Also on Amazon
[1:07:43] you want three days is a minimum.
[1:07:45] Seven days would definitely be better.
[1:07:48] You don't want to run out of food or water.
[1:07:49] This QR code takes you to our website, and from there
[1:07:55] you can sign up for being a block leader and sign up for certain.
[1:08:00] Thank you. I,
[1:08:03] I hope that with this presentation that it's to inspire
[1:08:07] and whoever's watching tonight
[1:08:09] now and whoever in the future will really take this to heart,
[1:08:14] because the more prepared we are, the more easily we'll be able to recover.
[1:08:19] For those who work in a home, thank you all for your.
[1:08:22] Great.
[1:08:23] Great presentation.
[1:08:25] Thanks.
[1:08:27] Questions?
[1:08:27] If you have options or.
[1:08:32] I can make an observation.
[1:08:34] I'm an active member of carriers. Oh.
[1:08:37] And so I'm very good.
[1:08:39] The city and the county.
[1:08:40] Yeah, the only reason I know this is because I am that, yes, a citizen.
[1:08:45] I had no idea about parks. Right.
[1:08:49] So in the spirit of
[1:08:51] making people's cyber say, how do we get people to know
[1:08:55] that they are these things even. Yes.
[1:08:58] And so cash is very active actually, in terms of drills. Yes.
[1:09:02] And surprise, I haven't run into you. Yes.
[1:09:05] 100 words I love for you.
[1:09:07] But there's a whole bunch of stuff that in my neighborhood,
[1:09:11] I've been telling people that you don't realize what is available, right?
[1:09:17] The other.
[1:09:19] Well, maybe we'll wait for the possible future agenda items.
[1:09:24] Yes, I think the great.
[1:09:26] I think all the information is perfect.
[1:09:27] And I think we should.
[1:09:29] We can share it.
[1:09:30] The neighbors. Right.
[1:09:31] Like like a quick recap of.
[1:09:33] Right. Right.
[1:09:34] I wish I am as active as you being a member.
[1:09:39] Thank you.
[1:09:39] I think we're in the same zone, I think. Yes,
[1:09:43] exactly.
[1:09:45] Yeah.
[1:09:52] Any.
[1:09:57] Speaker's chair?
[1:09:59] Right? Yeah.
[1:10:02] Jump into. The future agenda.
[1:10:05] Yeah.
[1:10:05] I haven't thought as far along,
[1:10:08] which is that in last week's pairs meeting, we had
[1:10:11] somebody give us a presentation on floods
[1:10:15] and how much danger there is for flooding
[1:10:19] in Cupertino, which most of the members weren't even aware of.
[1:10:23] And so I was just wondering if people talk
[1:10:27] about earthquakes about and this is an El Nino year.
[1:10:31] So potentially the probability of flooding
[1:10:35] is higher and parts of Cupertino will get cut off from other parts of Cuba.
[1:10:41] And that kind of thing. It's not just the road.
[1:10:42] There's a lot of water or like. Right.
[1:10:45] So I was just thinking,
[1:10:47] is it something worth bringing up or we have enough things going on?
[1:10:51] Yes. I should add to the list.
[1:10:53] So indeed, I, I also was thinking about that
[1:10:58] and contemplated changing from Earth quake
[1:11:02] to like covering El Nino related issues.
[1:11:06] So that would be great because a lot of the actions would be the same.
[1:11:09] I'm on the common side and the problem is the same basically.
[1:11:13] Yes, I'm
[1:11:15] yes, I'm also interested in in this as well too.
[1:11:19] So right.
[1:11:20] And for people to the one big difference is
[1:11:24] that people can in advance look for floods.
[1:11:29] You can't look for with critics.
[1:11:31] That is true. Right.
[1:11:33] So that is the one lesson that I got from that, which is that as citizens,
[1:11:37] we can have people be on the lookout where they're
[1:11:40] like Stevens Creek or
[1:11:43] there was very, very low lying areas that are.
[1:11:45] And so that kind of thing. Right.
[1:11:47] So it's one difference, but one should detect something I think.
[1:11:52] Yeah.
[1:11:53] Very similar. Yes.
[1:11:55] So free to add to expand your.
[1:12:00] Yes. Yes.
[1:12:03] We get a second.
[1:12:04] That is a future agenda item.
[1:12:06] Second.
[1:12:09] So I guess the thing that we'd be covering
[1:12:11] is basically like learning about what we can then take back to
[1:12:16] or learning what the I guess those city recommendations are
[1:12:21] guidances are on flooding that we can then take back to our communities.
[1:12:26] Is that the
[1:12:28] idea?
[1:12:32] Awesome.
[1:12:32] Yeah, I guess it's another agenda item that we kind of covered.
[1:12:37] Was just going over some of those stats on SCC.
[1:12:41] And then
[1:12:44] yeah I guess, yeah, sorry, a second SEC.
[1:12:49] Update stats.
[1:12:51] Yeah.
[1:12:52] Okay.
[1:12:53] Can we hear what exactly we are adding is the next.
[1:12:56] I mean I just want to make sure we have to calculate base may know
[1:12:59] what is being recorded as agenda topic.
[1:13:04] So what's being recorded.
[1:13:08] Yes I can just like read back like what's been added so far.
[1:13:12] What's been added is discussing the dangers of flooding.
[1:13:15] And then the next one that I have is review the updated stats for SCC.
[1:13:20] Is that correct?
[1:13:23] Yeah.
[1:13:24] Plus
[1:13:26] Genesis two.
[1:13:28] Oh, right. Yeah.
[1:13:30] So also hoping that I can add one more topic about getting an update
[1:13:34] on the sheriff's mark right from city
[1:13:38] setting.
[1:13:57] One more topic.
[1:14:00] So I'm always wondering about the evacuation
[1:14:02] capacity, especially with bike bike lanes.
[1:14:07] I like bike lanes, but I'm always worried about
[1:14:11] how much evacuation, especially of like
[1:14:15] how how freely it can rotate on.
[1:14:18] So can we get some metrics on the capacity of our evacuation
[1:14:22] or some of the key choking points, like 85 or 280.
[1:14:26] I don't know if we can get such data,
[1:14:29] but any data points,
[1:14:32] even if it's not quantitative qualitative,
[1:14:35] that would be helpful.
[1:14:37] It doesn't make sense.
[1:14:39] Yeah.
[1:14:43] Second,
[1:14:46] just the best way to signal agreement.
[1:15:13] Any other items.
[1:15:16] So I really like that you won't be updated.
[1:15:18] But I don't know like I don't think we need frequent similar updates but maybe
[1:15:24] like some of the dates, can we get like a figure of the complaints in email
[1:15:29] maybe every other month?
[1:15:37] I don't know that the feature is under copy.
[1:15:39] Yeah, I guess it's not.
[1:15:42] Yeah, but I'm not sure how that should be recorded through this process.
[1:15:46] There's something new for it.
[1:15:48] I don't know if that's.
[1:15:51] The commission.
[1:15:52] Okay.
[1:15:52] Review asking for it.
[1:15:55] Fire to the post. I don't know if that's I don't know.
[1:15:57] Okay. Could you please.
[1:15:58] You're looking for staff updates.
[1:16:00] Oh. Oh.
[1:16:01] Maybe it's staff of the like.
[1:16:04] So doing the next week.
[1:16:06] Can we include the update as part of staff updates?
[1:16:09] Maybe that's the ask.
[1:16:13] Point of clarification.
[1:16:15] So the report that up report
[1:16:18] is that the one that the disaster council took a look at.
[1:16:22] This is the same one.
[1:16:24] And as a commission are supposed to review that.
[1:16:28] Emergency operations plan. Yes.
[1:16:29] The disaster council will review and decide on recommendation.
[1:16:33] Okay.
[1:16:34] So that's for the disaster council and then city council.
[1:16:37] Okay.
[1:16:40] So we are not.
[1:16:45] All right.
[1:16:46] I had a clarifying question on the sheriff's update item that
[1:16:52] we talked about.
[1:16:53] So I guess for that one maybe maybe it's already in scope.
[1:16:57] But I guess specifically at that point
[1:17:01] we would want to know, like I guess stats.
[1:17:04] Right.
[1:17:04] Because there's a chance that captain might not attend that meeting.
[1:17:10] Right. But based on what we mentioned.
[1:17:14] So I guess we would want to know, like what kind of visibility into metrics
[1:17:18] or stats that we might have at that time in the absence of that as well.
[1:17:25] If it comes to that.
[1:17:26] Next meeting is in two months.
[1:17:28] Yeah.
[1:17:29] I really hope I think that sorted out. Yeah.
[1:17:32] Well of course, yeah, I think I just meant that as in if it comes to that.
[1:17:37] Yeah.
[1:17:39] Just chair just to clarify the EOP
[1:17:45] final draft, a draft will go to the disaster council next.
[1:17:50] Right.
[1:17:51] And the commission is welcome to provide comments, additional comments.
[1:17:56] Then you'll probably see a bigger, more final draft document.
[1:18:00] Then after the disaster Council reviews it, it will move on to the City Council
[1:18:06] for a study session,
[1:18:09] talk about it again and then a final approval at a subsequent
[1:18:13] meeting to three more meetings on it.
[1:18:17] Cool.
[1:18:21] Okay.
[1:18:21] So I didn't totally grasp that.
[1:18:25] If you don't mind, can you please send us an email?
[1:18:27] I was trying to understand, like,
[1:18:30] can citizens give any feedback to the plan or that's the piece.
[1:18:33] I'm more interested if you can share offline.
[1:18:36] I don't need to understand right now, but you can share.
[1:18:39] That would be great.
[1:18:41] Thank you.
[1:18:51] That's.
[1:18:52] That's our future agenda, then.
[1:19:01] I guess that said,
[1:19:02] we can jump into the adjournment part.
[1:19:05] So this meeting at 719.
