Good
afternoon
everybody
we
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
just
a
day
before
I
introduce
to
the
legislature
for
their
consideration.
The
may
revise
a
revision
of
our
January
budget
proposal
to
update
people
on
the
efforts
that
are
underway
on
emergency
preparedness
and
emergency
planning
here
in
the
state
of
California.
That's
why
we're
here
in
El,
Dorado
County,
not
far
from
Office
of
Emergency
Services,
where
so
much
of
the
work
in
preparation
is
being
done
for
the
next
fire
season
and
I
want
to
remind
everybody
that
we
are
entering
a
fire
season.
B
B
We
are
mindful
of
the
understandable
anxiety
that
this
time
of
year
presents
to
people
in
addition
to
what's
going
on
with
kovat
19
and
I
want
folks
to
know
that
we
have
been
preparing
for
this
upcoming
wildfire
season
and
we're
not
stepping
back
our
efforts,
we're
in
fact
stepping
them
up
the
budget.
I
will
announce
tomorrow
will
include
enhancements
for
a
wildfire
preparation
and
preparedness
across
the
board,
as
well
as
suppression,
strategies
and
opportunities
to
be
more
resilient
in
our
recovery
strategies.
B
In
a
moment,
I'll
lay
out
some
very
specific
examples
of
budgetary
enhancements,
but
let
me
just
lay
down
a
predicate
just
this.
Last
week,
246
wildfires
have
occurred
here
in
the
state
of
California.
We
just
ran
some
numbers
from
January
to
may
10th.
Last
year
we
had
675
wildfires
from
January
to
may
10th
this
year.
We've
had
eleven
hundred
and
thirty-five
wildfires
represents
roughly
a
60
percent
increase
this
year
compared
to
last
year
in
the
total
number
of
wildfires
doesn't
surprise.
Our
team
here
doesn't
surprise
many
of
the
experts.
B
We
have
had
a
below
average
year
of
precipitation,
the
snowpack
substantially
below,
where
it's
been
at
least
was
last
year,
and
so,
as
a
consequence,
this
has
only
reinforced
our
desire
to
do
more
and
to
be
better
in
terms
of
our
preparation.
We
had
announced
last
year
that
we
were
focusing
on
200
vulnerable
communities
in
the
state
of
California
and
really
focused
our
efforts
on
35,
high-profile
vegetation
and
fuel
management
projects.
34
of
those
35
have
been
complete.
B
The
one
that's
been
delayed,
a
little
bit
will
be
done
in
just
eight
days
and
that's
around
highway
17
in
the
Senate
said
a
quelle
source
south
of
Santa
Clara
County
more
towards
Santa
Cruz.
That
project
has
been
a
stubborn
project,
but
finally
will
be
complete,
as
I
said.
Just
in
a
matter
of
days.
We
continue
to
do
more
than
we've
done
in
the
past
on
defensible
spaces
and
cheap
Porter
will
come
up
hoods
off,
perhaps
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
those
efforts.
B
Our
fuels
management
and
vegetation
management
are
not
just
focused
on
those
35
high-profile
projects.
They
exist
and
persist
all
throughout
the
state
of
California
they're,
complemented
by
private
sector
work
in
that
space
by
local
work.
In
that
space
and
by
the
state's
efforts
themselves,
some
450
thousand
acres
in
2020
will
be
advanced
in
terms
of
the
fuels
management
in
terms
of
the
vegetation
management.
In
some
cases,
some
prescribed
burns
and
others
some
reforestation
in
that
portfolio
we're
getting
more
work
done
than
we
have
in
the
past.
B
It's
still
not
where
we
need
to
go
as
a
state,
the
size
and
scope
of
the
state.
We
still
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do
in
the
future
on
vegetation
and
forest
management,
and
there
is
no
substitute
for
the
work
the
federal
government
can
be
providing
advancing
in
this
space
as
well,
and
we
encourage,
as
always,
our
federal
partners,
to
help
us
with
these
efforts,
because
the
overwhelming
majority
of
land
that
exists
in
this
state
wild
land
is
federal
land.
B
A
very
small
percentage
is
state
land
and
again
private
and
local
land,
and
so
we
continue
to
advance
and
look
forward
to
securing
even
more
support
in
that
space.
In
an
effort
as
well
to
secure
support.
We
recognize
that
this
season,
fire
season
always
is
anxiety
inducing
for
an
additional
reason
and
that's
the
issues
of
PSPs.
Those
are
four
letters
that
most
Californians
least
in
Northern
California
in
particular,
familiar
with,
but
those
in
Southern
California
as
well.
B
Our
two
others,
three
total
in
the
state
investor
owned
utilities
to
be
more
secure
and
not
only
financially
but
more
secure
in
their
capacity
to
invest
in
your
future
in
our
collective
future.
And
what
I
mean
by
that
is
to
make
the
investments
themselves
independent
of
the
state,
federal,
local
and
private
sector
to
invest
in
their
own
efforts
to
secure
their
wires,
their
poles
to
advance
their
underground
to
focus
on
secularize
errs
and
making
sure
that
they
have
greater
capacity
in
real
time
to
have
information
with
infrared
cameras
and
weather
stations.
B
Their
efforts
to
do
more
on
their
own
vegetation
management
to
secure
their
own
aerial
fleet
to
provide
more
air
support
for
recovery
efforts
to
do
more.
On
your
behalf.
To
secure
wildfire
safety
and
public
safety
I
want
to
update
you.
Just
in
those
efforts
you
may
recall
there
was
an
effort
that
the
legislature
and
our
team
advanced
that
required
certain
things
from
our
investor
owned
utilities.
I
want
to
update
you
on
what
those
are
and
remind
you
how
important
they
are
to
our
larger
wildfire
efforts.
B
Five
billion
dollars
is
required
of
our
investor
owned
utilities
in
safety
measures.
That's
a
requirement.
Pursuant
to
the
agreement
we
advanced,
that
must
come
from
the
I/o
use
directly
independent.
Again
of
all
of
these
state
efforts,
we
created
a
wildfire
advisory
committee
to
focus
on
public
safety.
That
is
also
a
requirement
under
that
bill,
and
these
efforts
we
are
announcing
tomorrow
in
our
budget.
The
Public
Utilities
Commission
is
building
a
team
of
106
individuals
that
will
create
a
wildfire
safety
division
within
the
Public
Utilities
Commission.
B
That
division
will
become
an
independent
entity,
but
right
now
it
will
start
within
the
Public
Utilities
Commission.
That
division
will
24/7
oversee
the
efforts
of
all
three
of
our
largest
investor
owned
utilities.
We
have
a
monitor
now
that
we
have
put
in
place,
for
example,
at
PG&E
to
independently
monitor
their
safety
efforts.
B
We
have
safety
mitigation
plans,
what
we
call
wildfire
mitigation
plans
that
are
requirement
to
be
certified
by
the
boards
of
these
utilities
and
then,
ultimately,
by
the
public
utility
commission
with
an
advisory
committee
that
will
advise
the
Commission
it's
a
way
of
saying
we
are
in
a
place:
we've
never
been
in
the
past
in
terms
of
oversight
and
accountability
and
transparency
with
our
investor
owned
utilities.
To
help
support
these
fire
mitigation
efforts.
I
am
not
naive
that
these
utilities
are
where
they
need
to
be.
Quite
the
contrary.
In
fact,
PG&E
is
still
in
bankruptcy.
B
They
have
the
opportunity
to
come
out
of
bankruptcy
by
June
30th,
but
a
predicate
of
all
of
that
are
fulfilling
the
requirements
of
these
plants,
but
we
will
do
our
part,
and
that
is
to
make
sure
that
there's
real
transparency
and
accountability
to
these
utilities
and
to
make
sure
that
they
do
justice
to
what
they're
promising
and
what
has
been
promoted
in
terms
of
these
requirements.
So
that's
just
a
quick
update
on
where
the
IOUs
are
and
by
the
way,
I
just
do
want
to
recognize
that
PG&E
has
significantly
increased.
B
Their
number
of
weather
stations,
significantly
increase
their
high-definition
cameras
and
has
committed
to
new
protocols
on
the
PA
PSPs,
where
they
have
committed
to
us
a
duration
reduction
of
roughly
50%
in
terms
of
their
time,
to
provide
what
we
refer
to
as
all-clear
and
then
turning
on
your
lights
will
hold
them
to
account.
In
that
respect,
I
don't
hold
my
breath
in
any
of
these
categories.
B
We've
been
sobered
by
the
reality
of
PG&E,
in
particular
over
the
last
number
of
years,
but
we
are
emerging
in
a
different
frame
and
a
different
space
and
a
different
framework
of
engagement.
Now,
an
oversight
that
I
hope
can
allow
people
to
rest
well,
maybe
not
with
both
eyes
closed
but
one
eye
open,
but
rest
assured
that
we
are
taking
these
efforts
very
very
seriously
in
holding
this
company
to
account
in
ways
they
haven't
been
in
the
past.
B
We
talk
in
terms
of
all
hazards,
and
that
includes
earthquakes,
again,
maybe
just
being
born
inbred,
five
generation,
Bay
Area
resident
San
Francisco
a
resident
earthquakes
continue
to
be
top
on
my
mind,
there's
seventeen
point:
three
million
dollars
in
this
budget
for
our
early
warning
system
for
earthquakes
system
we're
going
to
transfer
our
seismic
safety
committee
into
the
Office
of
Emergency
Services
for
stronger
integration,
2.2
million
dollars,
budget
enhancement
that
I'm
recommending
for
the
Legislature's
consideration
we'll
announce
tomorrow.
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
looking
to
do
more
in
terms
of
our
disaster
assistance.
B
Some
thirty
eight
point:
two
million
dollars
of
enhancements
in
that
effort,
I
referenced
PSPs
we're
gonna,
put
fifty
million
dollars
in
the
budget
to
help
support
grants
for
local
counties.
To
help
in
their
efforts
around
PSBs
and
by
the
way
that
matters
this
year
in
particular,
because
there's
some
concern
around
PSPs,
turning
off
the
lights
during
the
election,
and
so
we
want
to
secure
the
election
as
well,
and
so
those
dollars
are
for
that
consideration.
B
We
are
also
proposing
eighty
five
point:
seven
million
dollar
enhancement
to
cAL
FIRE,
specifically
to
improved
surge
capacity
and
a
higher
critical
personnel.
Before
the
peak
of
this
year's
fire
season,
roughly
600
additional
personnel,
we
believe,
are
needed
to
protect
people
from
wildfires.
To
the
extent
we
can
protect.
You
and
help
mitigate
the
ferocity
of
these
wildfires,
so
this
is
a
significant
enhancement
in
terms
of
the
overall
ranks
at
Cal
Fire
and
we're
just
going
to
hold
the
line
on
that.
B
We're
going
to
work
with
the
legislature
and
I
hope
together,
we
can
together
hold
the
line
in
terms
of
the
importance
of
these
personnel.
So
that's
that's
an
enhancement
in
that
space.
I
can
mention
a
number
of
others
from
work,
we're
doing
with
Tecna
Silva
in
terms
of
predictive
modeling,
which
is
important,
new
tools,
new
technology
and
that
will
bring
to
bear
which
will
also
help
with
our
wildfire
efforts,
but
foundationally
people
there's
no
substitute
for
people
and
those
people.
B
By
the
way
we
also
be
supported
by
these
engines
we're
able
to
get
by
July
of
this
year.
We
will
have
an
additional
26
new
engines,
all
throughout
the
state
of
California,
including
for
incident
command
units
that
will
also
be
deployed
by
July
1st
we're
gonna
have
other
equipment
and
even
outside
of
just
these
engines,
and
they
include
new
Blackhawk
helicopters.
You
may
recall
we
promoted
the
procurement
of
12
blackhawk
helicopters,
we're
not
going
to
walk
that
back
just
too
important
in
terms
of
our
mutual
aid
and
public
safety
in
the
state
of
California.
B
B
That's
fundamental
and
foundational
to
our
suppression,
efforts
and
our
ability
again
to
meet
the
public
safety
needs
in
this
state
and
good
talk
another
time
about
the
c-130s.
All
all
those
things
are
baseline
were
continuing
to
bring
in
into
this
new
year.
So
look,
let
me
now
bring
in
I.
Think
I've
said
enough
on
this
topic,
at
least
for
the
moment.
Let
me
bring
in
the
chief
of
Cal
Fire.
He
could
talk
more
specifically
about
this
budget.
B
I
think
a
little
bit
of
relief
as
well
with
some
of
these
recommendations,
but
you'll
be
seeing
plenty
I
think,
sadly,
of
Tom
Porter
over
the
coming
weeks
and
months,
as
is
the
case
every
fire
season
in
this
state.
The
huts
are
getting
hotter.
The
dries
are
getting
drier.
The
wets
are
getting
wetter.
There
is
a
new
reality
for
those
that
don't
believe
in
climate
change
or
science
I
remind
them
when
appropriate.
After
our
stowed
home
orders
are
lifted.
When
you
can
come
in
without
fear
of
transmission
of
this
deadly
virus.
B
Come
to
California
visit
us
learn
about
climate
change
firsthand,
because,
even
if
you
deny
it,
your
own
eyes
may
tell
you
something
very.
Very
differently
observed
evidence,
not
just
intellectual
curiosity,
so
to
cure
a
new
reality
that
climate
change
is
real
and
it's
here
and
the
effects
are
profound
and
that's
why
we
want
to
acknowledge
that
as
well
upfront
and
that's
a
good
part
of
the
work
that
our
chief
past
to
deal
with
as
it
relates
to
the
acuity
of
the
fight
he
has
in
front
of
us
each
and
every
fire
season.
Chief
Porter.
C
Very
simply
those
three
things:
every
one
of
them
is
being
invested
in
by
this
state
government,
Thank
You
governor
for
recognizing
that
these
are
things
that
are
not
going
away.
They
are
very
important
to
protecting
life's
property
and
the
environment
of
California
for
future
generations,
and
they
have
to
be
invested
in
now
and
continuing
that
investment
is
key
to
our
success.
So
response
response
is
to
wildland
fire
in
particular,
but
all
large
emergencies
is
a
team
sport.
No
one
agency
in
California
can
do
that
mission
alone.
C
Cal
FIRE
is
responsible
for
wildland
fires,
off
of
federal
lands,
sometimes
on
federal
lands
as
well
throughout
the
state,
and
so
we
lead
that
charge.
We
have
a
very
strong
wildland
fire
ethic,
wildland
fire
training,
wildland
fire
response.
We
also
have,
as
in
the
case
of
where
we
stand
today,
a
mutual
aid
response
that
is
cAL
FIRE
employees,
but
we
also
need
our
local
government
partners.
C
We
need
our
cities,
we
need
our
counties,
we
need
our
districts,
we
need
our
volunteers,
we
needed
them
all
healthy
and
ready
to
go
to
these
wildfires
as
well
as
I
said,
team
sport.
We
need
everybody
that
includes
our
federal
partners,
wildland
fire
fighters
from
the
u.s.
Forest
Service,
BLM
BIA,
and
other
agencies
Fish
and
Wildlife
Service.
We
need
everybody
ready
to
go.
C
So
prevention
prevention
is
a
key
component
to
keeping
fire
small
to
keeping
fires
out
of
the
areas
that
that
are
most
populated,
where
we're
gonna
have
the
most
concern
about
lives
and
property
loss.
But
it's
also
important
for
our
our
back
country.
Fires
as
well,
the
reason
I
bring
up
prevention
is
I,
had
a
conversation
with
the
the
chief
of
the
Forest
Service
Vicky
Christianson.
Just
yesterday
asked
her
the
question
about
what
do
you
see
as
the
need
for
being
proactive
this
year
and
putting
all
of
the
fires
out
as
quickly
as
we
possibly
can?
C
She
was
very
complimentary
to
my
question
and
expressed
and
pointed
back
to
her
Chiefs
letter
to
the
nation
of
firefighters
under
her
that
that
says,
just
that
initial
attack
is
the
key
component
to
keeping
fire
small
and
and
keeping
firefighters.
Healthy
I
am
going
to
continue
to
push
that
with
my
federal
partners,
everybody's
on
board.
As
I
said,
we've
been
talking
about
this.
C
This
is
a
very
key
component,
but
if
we
keep
fire
small
at
the
beginning,
with
these
extra
resources
that
we're
going
to
have,
then
we
will
protect
the
public
and
our
firefighters
from
unnecessary
exposure
to
smoke
and
the
need
to
bring
them
together
in
congregate.
Congregational
settings
all
can
all
key
components.
Prevention
has
a
piece
that
is
all-inclusive
those
agencies
that
I
talked
about,
but
it
also
includes
you,
the
public,
and
that
brings
me
from
the
bridge
the
bridge
from
prevention
to
preparedness.
C
You
every
single
one
of
you
in
California,
have
a
part
in
this.
You
can
protect
lives
and
property.
You
can
reach
out
to
your
neighbors
reach
out
to
the
elderly,
reach
out
to
family
members.
You
can
help
them
do
the
defensible
space
around
their
homes.
That
needs
to
be
done
and
should
be
done
at
this
time
of
year.
We
are
doing
our
in
defensible,
space
inspections
and
so
you'll
see
our
people
around
local
government
is
doing
that
as
well
and
some
of
the
counties.
C
We
need
to
make
sure
that
you
have
defensible
space
and
you
can
help
your
neighbors
neighbors,
helping
neighbors
to
be
prepared
for
this
fire
season.
There's
so
many
other
things
you
can
do
as
well,
including
the
hardening
of
your
your
structure.
Hardening
of
your
structure
is
something
that
you
can
do
again.
You
can
help
your
neighbor
do
and
that
will
make
it
more
resistant
to
burning
down
in
the
event
of
a
fire
coming
into
your
neighborhood.
C
There
are
some
very
simple
things
that
you
can
do.
It's
easy
just
go
to
ready
for
wildfire
org
check
out.
The
website
has
checklists.
You
can
see
how
you're
doing
very
important
information
there
there's
also
an
app
that
you
can
get
on
any
mobile
device.
That
will
take
you
through
the
exact
same
thing.
It'll
give
you
a
shopping
list
that
you
can
take
down
to
Home,
Depot
or
Lowe's,
or
your
favorite
store
and
get
the
supplies
that
you'll
need
to
do
that.
C
So,
if
you
will
continue
to
work
on
that
piece,
you
will
be
a
hero
in
the
wildland
fire
setting
in
California,
and
every
single
California
can
be
that
hero.
We
will
work
on
the
the
wildland
fire
problems
in
the
backcountry
and
in
the
the
canyons
and
wildland
spaces.
Continue
to
do
the
the
fuel
work
that
the
governor
mentioned,
and
that
is
what
we
will
do
and
and
commit
to,
and
we
will
respond
to
every
single
wildland
fire
that
occurs
in
the
state
this
year
and
there
will
be
tens
of
thousands.
B
Email
for
any
questions
look
I
know
this
is
wrote,
it's
a
tired
cliché,
but
you
got
to
walk
and
chew
gum.
At
the
same
time,
we're
focused
on
c19
we're
focused
on
coronavirus
mitigation,
trying
to
do
our
best
to
suppress
the
spread.
At
the
same
time,
we've
got
to
mitigate
and
suppress
these
fires
as
we
move
into
wildfire
season.
This
is
top
priority
of
this
state.
B
The
legislature
and
our
administration
and
I
want
folks
to
know
that
we
are
not
going
to
step
back,
despite
the
economic
headwinds
of
our
responsibility,
to
meet
this
moment
as
well
as
we
try
to
meet
so
many
other
moments
in
the
midst
of
this
crisis.
I
want
to
also
just
thank
because
he's
here,
markula
do
Qi
and
his
team
at
the
Office
of
Emergency
Services
for
his
advice
and
counsel
through
this
budget
process
and
the
good
work
his
team
is
doing
to
prepare
for
a
wildfire
season.
B
B
With
that,
let
me
just
move
in
to
the
daily
update
briefing
in
terms
of
the
total
number
of
people
that
have
been
tested
positive
over
the
last
24
hours
for
köppen
19,
total
number
of
lives
lost,
update
you
on
some
trends,
as
it
relates
to
ICU
numbers
and
hospitalization
numbers,
and
also
want
to
update
you
on
the
number
of
counties,
including
this
county
that
have
self
attested
self-certified,
that
they
have
a
containment
plan
and
are
allowing
are
being
advanced
into
deeper
part
of
our
phase
2.
So
let
me
try
to
break
that
down
in
order.
B
B
B
B
Yesterday,
down
modestly
0.3%
you've
been
noticing
a
little
bit
of
a
trend
with
ICU
rates
over
the
course
of
the
last
number
of
weeks,
some
stability
and
now
seeing
some
modest
decreases
most
every
day,
hospitalization
numbers
stable
without
the
modest
decreases,
0.5%
increase
in
the
total
number
of
those
hospitalized
in
the
state
over
the
24
hour
reporting
period
so
well
within
1
percent.
Again
stabilization
over
the
course
of
many
many
weeks
now
is
a
very
different
state
than
other
states
where
you
had
huge
peaks
and
decreases.
B
We've
had
stability
for
many
many
weeks
and
we're
seeing
modest,
decreases
and
I
see
use
a
little
bit
of
a
decrease
trendline
in
hospitalizations
death
numbers
continue
to
vex.
Yesterday
was
more
modest.
Today,
87
lives
tragically
lost
again.
One
size
does
not
fit
all
California
I've
said
it
many
times
as
many
parts,
one
body,
one
state,
one
responsibility
larger
responsibility
to
each
other,
but
each
part
of
the
state
has
different
conditions,
including
El
Dorado
County,
where
we
are
today.
Many
counties
fall
into
that
category.
B
Today
we
now
have
ten
counties
that
have
fallen
into
that
category
and
I
just
want
to
say
this.
It's
a
personal
statement,
but
it
deserves
to
be
shared
publicly:
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
cooperation
with
Butte
County
and
El
Dorado
with
Yuba
and
Sutter.
It's
got
a
lot
of
attention
a
few
weeks
ago.
Over
the
last
a
number
of
days,
it's
been
wonderful
and
I
just
want
to
thank
those
County
leaders.
I
want
to
thank
the
county
health
directors
for
a
job
well
done,
working
with
our
team.
B
Getting
that
technical
assistance
going
back
and
forth
with
clarifications
updating
their
plans
in
a
way
that
do
justice
to
this
moment
a
lead
through
a
public
health
lens
lead
through
a
data
lens,
we're
putting
those
self
attest
stations
up,
so
the
public
can
see
them
and
we
are
also
putting
maps
up.
So
you
can
test
where
those
counties
are
in
real-time
and
when
I
mean
by
test
I
mean
quite
literally
not
just
figure
the
number
of
tests
that
are
positive
in
those
counties.
B
The
number
of
individuals
that
tragically
may
have
lost
their
lives
you'll
be
able
to
look
at
that
from
a
county
by
county
basis
and
I
encourage
you
to
go
to
kovat
19
dot,
ca.gov
to
access
that
information
again
county
by
county
Cova,
19,
CA,
gov
and
you'll
be
able
to
see
where
your
county
is
in
terms
of
the
county
county
differential
into
the
Phase
two
ten
counties
up
as
I
speak.
Many
more
that
we
hope
to
get
up
in
real
time.
I
won't
be
making
all
these
announcements
every
day.
Our
health
officials
will
be
I'll.
B
Try
to
update
you
on
a
rolling
basis,
but,
as
I
said,
this
isn't
a
dynamic
process
and
we
don't
want
to
delay
unnecessarily
based
on
timelines.
It's
not
about
timelines.
It's
not
about
deadlines,
it's
simply
about
data,
and
it's
about
health
and
once
those
indicators
and
once
those
plans
are
in
place
and
those
indicators
turn
green.
We
will
continue
to
make
announcements,
I
think
we're
up
to
31
consultations,
different
counties
that
we've
been
engaged
with
most
have
gone
very
well
summer.
B
You
know
not
where
they
need
to
be
and
we're
gonna
try
to
do
our
best
to
accommodate
work
through
some
issues.
I've
yesterday,
in
the
day
before
mentioned
some
of
those
counties
current
among
many
others,
where
we're
just
trying
to
work
through
some
issues
and
just
know
we're
doing
our
best
in
real
time
to
accommodate,
but
there's
certain
foundational
health
issues
that
must
be
met
first
before
we
can
move
forward,
but
again
we're
not
ideological
in
terms
of
that
engagement.
B
Just
final
point,
because
we've
mentioned
yesterday,
some
new
testing
capacity,
new
increase
in
testing
that
we'll
be
doing
new
sites
at
pharmacies
in
the
state
of
California,
a
new
partnership,
rather
a
renewed
partnership
that
we
expanded
with
Optim
serve
for
new
sites
in
rural
parts
of
California.
Soon
in
Lake
County
as
an
example
Mendocino
among
other
counties,
I
just
want
to
encourage
people
to
go
to
that
same
website.
B
Kovin
19,
CA
gov
and
you
can,
instead
of
going
by
the
county
to
county
guidelines,
section
go
to
the
testing
section,
ANCOVA
19
and
then
put
in
your
zip
code
and
see
what
testing
sites
come
up.
What
pop
up
in
your
community
and
nearby
and
if
you
feel
you
need
to
get
a
test.
If
you
have
symptoms
or
your
concern
about
a
loved
one
or
family
member,
go
to
that
site.
I
would
encourage
first,
because
that
site
will
provide
251
community
points
of
access.
B
We'll
eventually
have
86
Optim
serve
sites,
6
+
verily
sites
on
there
and
those
sites
will
be
afforded
to
you
free.
You
don't
have
to
come
out
of
pocket
in
terms
of
the
costs
of
those
tests.
There
are
other
pop-up
facilities
everywhere,
but
in
some
cases
they
ask
for
cash
upfront
or
they
may
just
bill.
B
Your
insurance
company
may
have
a
copay
component
I
just
encouraging
people
to
take
advantage
of
trying
to
get
these
tests
for
free
because
I
know
the
economic
anxiety
is
real
for
folks
and
that's
an
impediment
for
many
people,
and
we
don't
want
that
to
be
an
impediment.
We
want
people
to
know
that
they
should
access
those
sites
so
that
they
can
know
their
own
conditions
and
know
that
they
are
in
well,
whatever
condition
the
test
results
prove
that
they
know
that
they
can
also
begin
the
process
of
accessing
support,
treatment
and
the
like.
D
The
LA
times
I've
been
nominated
to
ask
questions
on
behalf
of
other
members
of
the
press
today.
My
first
question
would
be
for
me
I'm
this
curious.
You
talked
about
the
priority
of
funding
fire
response
and
coronavirus
response.
There's
got
to
be
a
balance,
as
you
know,
with
the
budget
literally
and
I'm
just
kind
of
curious,
what's
kind
of
going
to
give
I
mean,
are
we
gonna
see
cuts
and
some
of
our
safety
net
programs
or
we're
gonna
see
any
tax
increases?
What
should
California's
expect
in
the
months
ahead?
Good.
B
News
is
within
24
hours,
you'll
get
very
detailed
answer
to
those
questions.
We're
putting
out
that
may
revise
at
noon
tomorrow.
I'll
be
laying
out
our
strategy,
our
options,
our
values
will
not
change.
The
numbers
have
radically
changed.
We
projected
close
to
six
billion
dollar
budget
surplus
90
days
ago.
Tens
of
billions
of
dollars
now
projected
deficit,
increased
costs
and
burdens.
The
announcement
I'm
making
today
I
do
so
soberly.
B
We
did
pull
back
in
certain
areas
in
the
budget
to
OES
and
CalFire,
but
we're
still
able
to
move
forward
because
of
the
essential
nature
of
these
functions
in
terms
of
public
safety.
But
we
couldn't
do
everything
that
we
proposed
in
January
you'll,
see
that
as
a
general
theme
tomorrow,
and
there
are
sobering
and
deep
challenges
that
we
have
to
address
head-on
and
I
cannot
underscore
this
enough.
B
There
was
a
reason
with
the
western
state
governors
that,
two
days
ago,
we
sent
a
letter
assigned
not
only
by
six
governor's
from
six
different
states,
but
by
six
legislative
leaders
in
both
houses,
the
Senate
and
the
House
of
Representatives
or
in
the
assemblies
of
those
respective
states.
I,
don't
know
that.
There's
a
lot
of
press
for
a
letter
assigned
by
so
many
individuals
requesting
support
from
the
federal
government.
This
is
not
just
about
the
state
of
California.
B
These
deficits
are
so
profound
and
pro
so
pronounced
for
one
thing:
the
kovat
19,
the
federal
government
must
do
more
to
help
support
these
states.
We
need
the
federal
government
and
we
can
avoid
a
lot
of
these
cuts
to
police
and
fire
our
frontline
first
responders,
particularly
at
the
county
levels
at
the
city
levels,
with
the
federal
government
support
and
that's
why
I'm
very
pleased.
D
D
What
sort
of
state
assistance
will
be
available
to
wor
learn
and
central
Sierra
Nevada
foothills
areas
that
are
expecting
to
see
so
really
kind
of
severe
wildfire
season
this
year,
and
specifically
about
evacuation
centers
for
people
who
may
be
elderly?
Who
may
need
a
kind
of
a
clean
area
to
where
there's
no
smoke
to
inhale?
Also,
people
who
may
test
positive
for
coronavirus
would
be
suspected
of
having
it
are
there
going
to
be
special
facilities
for
them
by.
B
The
way
that's
a
wonderful
question
and
profoundly
important
question,
because
it
connects
the
obvious
you're
dealing
with
Cova
19
in
a
crisis
that
impacts
every
sector
of
our
society
of
our
aspects
of
our
society,
including
our
ability
to
recruit,
retain
and
keep
healthy,
our
workforce,
just
the
training
academy
classes
for
Cal
Fire's.
We
have
to
make
those
considerations,
but
now,
in
compounding
these
challenges,
you
have
emergency
evacuation
centers.
B
You
have
temporary
shelters
that
come
up
traditionally
in
wildfire
season
around
evacuations
and
we
need
to
have
a
capacity
quarantine
and
to
isolate
individuals
that
may
be
tested
positive
for
kovat
19.
We
of
course,
have
a
state-of-the-art
mutual
aid
system.
That's
very
culturally
competent,
that's
sensitive
to
the
needs
of
our
diverse
communities,
seniors
among
others,
but
rather
than
me
waxing
on
about
that.
Why
don't
I
ask
director
mark
Gila
du
chÃ
who's,
an
expert
in
this
space
to
opine
a
little
bit
more
and
answer
more
granularly,
they're,
very,
very
thoughtful
question.
E
Maybe
a
co
would
maybe
versus
non
covert,
we're
looking
at
possibly
using
Hotel
solutions
where
we
have
the
opportunity
to
put
evacuees
in
hotels,
single
rooms
versus
congregating
in
a
large
sort
of
like
a
dormitory
or
a
school
gymnasium,
which
we
typically
use.
We're
looking
at
in
the
event
that
we
do
do
gymnasiums
putting
in
partitions
and
segregating
appropriately
putting
air
cleaners
and
air
purifiers
in
place
being
able
to
work
very
closely
with
the
incident
management
teams
and
Cal
Fire
or
our
local
governments.
E
To
ensure
that,
if
we're
going
to
do
an
evacuation,
we
may
be
evacuates
to
nur.
To
give
more
time
for
people
to
move
into
areas
of
a
more
secure
refuge.
So,
and
and
evacuations
could
areas
could
be
a
little
further
out
or
there
may
be
more
of
them
to
be
able
to
address
the
need
to
have
the
social
distancing,
that's
required
in
these
cases.
Look.
This
is
not
a.
This
is
not
a
you
know,
perfect
solution.
D
There
were
additional
wildfire
questions
by
Julie
card
of
Cal
matters,
and
Dale
cares
Lord
of
the
Sacramento
being
kind
of
on
some
of
the
details
of
what's
happening.
Number
one
I
mean
usually
now.
This
is
a
season
for
mitigation
and
I
know.
If
ever
you
mentioned
some
of
the
actions
that
were
being
taken
already,
but
overall
has
brushed,
clearance
have
controlled
burns.
Have
they
all
been?
Is
that
overall
been
reduced
and
the
other?
The
question
is
about
prison
fire
crews,
and
so
there's
been
a
lot
of
early
release
to
get
people
out
of
the
prisons.
D
B
I'll
take
the
last
question
we
can
talk
again.
I
talked
about
the
four
and
50,000
acres
that
we
will
complete
terms
of
vegetation
management
this
year
chief
pork,
and
reflect
that
in
terms
of
numbers,
I
think
someone
was
very
pleased
to
hear
that
with
numbers
comparing
and
contrasting
the
previous
years
as
it
relates
as
it
relates
to
that.
Why
don't
I,
just
with
the
noise,
as
chief
ordered.
E
C
So
fuel
reduction
was
covered
earlier
and
we
this
year
are
halfway
to
our
goal
of
45,000
to
50,000
acres,
just
by
cAL
FIRE,
the
450,000
acres
of
all
lands
being
treated
across
California
on
state
and
private
lands.
We're
working
toward
that
as
well.
Those
are
calendar
numbers,
so
we've
got
a
ways
to
go.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
that
we're
doing
currently
this.
This
little
bit
of
rain
we've
had
in
the
north
part
of
the
state
is
helping
us.
It's
opening
up
some
burn
windows,
so
there
will
be
prescribed
fire
on
the
ground.
C
We
have
worked
with
our
Forest
Service
counterparts
to
adjust
their
decision
not
to
describe
burning
this
spring.
They
made
that
decision
as
it
turns
out
during
a
good
time.
For
us
it
was
wet.
They
couldn't
burn
anyway,
so
now,
they're
coming
back
into
the
game,
we're
gonna
see
that
fuel
reduction
work
continuing.
We
have
a
very
extensive
plan.
C
That's
been
laid
out
over
the
last
several
years
to
continue
to
do
work
on
the
ground,
that
is,
that
is,
with
with
machinery
and
and
crews,
not
all
prescribed
burning,
but
the
fuel
reduction
project
work
and
couple
that,
with
the
defensible
space
inspection
program
that
we
have
making
sure
that
people
are
getting
their
defensible
space,
making
sure
that
California's
are
helping
their
neighbors,
get
that
defensible
space
done
and
then
structure
hardening.
That's
what's
going
to
truly
protect
the
communities
that
we
have
to
protect.
C
B
Two
questions,
and
let
me
take
the
other
question-
is
relates
to
the
fire
camps,
so
we
are
currently
down
about
44
crews
with
our
prison,
fire
crews
and
our
camps.
We
project
misses
a
projection
about
being
down
about
by
80
crews.
This
has
been
a
trend
line,
though,
that
precedes
the
early-release.
Remember
the
early
release
for
people
that
were
60
days
out
from
being
released
anyway,
we're
almost
60
days
in
to
that
process.
This
predates
the
early
release.
We've
seen
a
decline
since
a
be
109
since
prop
47,
since
prop
57.
B
So
you've
seen
this
diminish
a
number
and
as
a
consequence,
it
requires
us
to
do
a
little
bit
more
and
it's
I
think
a
part
of
what
we're
providing
in
terms
of
a
consideration
in
the
legislature
tomorrow,
and
that
is
the
need
to
increase
our
fire
fire
pursue
prior
finding
personnel,
and
that's
why
it's
important
this
enhancement
to
get
more
folks
onto
these
engines,
including
a
fourth
personnel
on
some
engines
and
increasing
the
total
rank
of
staff
that
we
have
up
and
down
the
state.
I'm.
D
Have
a
question
from
Kathleen
Ronayne
of
The
Associated
Press,
asking
none
of
the
handful
of
counties
have
been
allowed
to
hope
enough.
Are
you
worried
that
people
leaving
still
close
counties
to
dine
or
otherwise
wrecker
ate
in
the
reopen
counties?
And
what's
what's
the
message
to
Californians
about
traveling
around
the
state
between
places
that
are
more
restrictive
places
that
are
less
District.
B
Now
we've
made
that
clear
from
day
one
when
we
introduced
the
guidelines
that
we
we
maintain
advised
me
maintain
as
an
advisor
that
people
not
travel
for
non-essential
purposes
and
going
in
and
out
of
the
counties
would
defeat
the
point
of
having
county
variations.
There
are,
however,
large
parts
of
this
state
where
a
lot
of
the
counties
are
moving
together
and
you'll
have
multiple
jurisdictions.
These
are
regions,
not
just
counties
that
are
larger
than
many
states
where
all
of
those
counties
are
in
unison
in
terms
of
their
advisory.
B
So
it's
less
significant
in
that
respect,
but
know
this
is
the
big
challenge.
You
open
up
a
dense
urban
environment
right
next
door
to
a
community.
That's
not
opened
people
start
rushing
into
that
dense
urban
environment
and
coming
back
into
their
community,
and
that's
why
we
want
a
regional
focus,
a
County
focus
bringing
in
other
cities
and
that's
beginning
the
process
of
regionalizing
and
the
stent.
We
can
broaden
county
by
county
and
either
larger
regions.
D
Right
I
got
several
questions
about
Elon
Musk.
What
kind
of
signal
does
it
send
to
small
businesses
that
Tesla
is
operating
the
Fremont
Fremont
plant,
in
flagrant
violation
of
Alameda
County's
health
order?
Well,
most
businesses
are
following
the
rules.
What,
if
anything,
is
the
state
or
should
the
state
do
to
crackdown
on
that
I'll.
B
Remind
people
in
the
state
of
California
we
are
allowing
manufacturing
logistics
and
warehouse
work
to
resume
our
guidelines
were
lifted.
A
weeks
ago,
Alameda
County
has
different
rules
in
different
regulations.
The
county
adopts
those
rules
and
regulations
from
an
enforcement
prism.
As
you
know,
as
many
people
know,
they
have
made
public
announcements
that
they
have
worked
with
Tesla
and
they've,
put
together
a
process
where
they
will
reopen
both
the
county
made
that
public
and
Tesla
concurred.
So
progress
has
been
made
in
that
space
anytime.
There's
friction
we
hope
to
make
progress.
This
is
a
point.
B
This
is
a
County
issue.
The
state
allows
for
manufacturing
as
it
relates
to
County
jurisdictions,
and
enforcement.
I
would
encourage
them
to
do
what
we
do
as
a
state
when
the
state
does
enforce.
We
try
to
work
with
people.
It's
not
ready
fire
aim.
It's
ready
aim
fire
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
issue
is
trying
to
work
things
out.
If
people
refuse
to
work
things
out,
then
you
have
to
ratchet
up
those
conversations
in
those
efforts,
but
we
seek
not
to
be
punitive
at
first
and
it
sounds
like
based
upon
the
progress.
D
Okay
got
a
question
from
John
Farrow
Nene
of
the
Bay
Area
reporter.
He
said
that
earlier
today,
in
a
conference
call
with
reporters
LGBT
advocates
blasted
you
and
the
State
Health
Department
for
failing
to
collect
data
on
how
kovin
19
is
impacting
the
state
LGBT
residents.
Will
you
be
issuing
an
executive
order
to
require
health
officials
to
ask
people
about
their
sexual
orientation
and
gender
identity
when
they
are
tested
for
the
chronovisor
yeah.
B
God
bless
I
been
very
clear
that
this
information
we
want
this
information
before
coming.
We
care
deeply
about
providing
and
receiving
that
information
or
having
the
benefit
of
that
information
being
provided
at
the
county
level.
We're
working
with
Scott
Weiner
who's
been
outstanding
leader
in
this
space.
He
has
legislative
effort
to
do
just
that
and
we
have
been
in
constant
contact,
including
not
only
with
him,
with
the
LGBT
caucus
on
this
issue,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
working
with
him
in
resolving
and
the
community
is
absolutely
right
that
information
has
not
been
forthcoming.
B
But
let
me
just
make
this
crystal
clear.
For
decades,
we
have
been
under
reporting
in
the
LGBT
community
space
as
it
relates
to
issues
that
are
important
to
the
community.
That
must
change
that
predates
this
pandemic
and
working
with
the
caucus
working
with
Senator
Weiner.
We
hope
to
have
a
legislative
effort
very
shortly,
my
desk
that
will
allow
us
to
move
forward
by
going
together,
but
I'm
very
deferential
to
the
work
that
Senator
Weiner
is
currently
doing,
and
I
know
that
no
one
wants
to
see
this
information
more
not
only
than
I,
but
dr.
B
Well
with
that,
I
want
to
just
thank
everybody
for
their
time
and
attention.
Thank
a
team
that
assemble
here,
no
cleaner
location
than
being
in
a
fire
station
anywhere
in
this
country,
and
no
greater
fire
service
than
Cal
Fire,
one
of
the
largest
and
most
dynamic
and
most
successful,
as
well
as
ubiquitous
forces
of
leaders
anywhere
in
our
nation
and
in
the
world,
and
we
couldn't
be
more
proud
to
call
them.
Our
own
they'll
be
I,
hope
seeing
larger
ranks
they'll
be
seen
even
more
support
this
year.
B
If
the
legislature
concurs
with
our
our
thinking,
I'm
confident
they
will
and
I'm
confident
when
they
do
that
this
year's
fire
season,
which
will
be
ferocious
and
challenging
on
the
natural
that
we
can
do
justice
and
do
what
we
can
what's
humanly
possible
to
mitigate
its
damage
and
mitigate
its
spread
and
speaking
of
mitigating
damage
and
spread.
I
want
to
just
encourage
people
to
continue
the
good
work
that
you've
done
to
date.
The
reason
we're
able
to
announce
10
counties
moving
deeper
into
Phase
two
is
because
of
your
outstanding
work.
B
The
reason
I
was
able
to
announce
yesterday
even
increased
loosening
of
the
state
home
order.
Statewide
is
because
of
your
good
work.
This
is
a
dynamic
process.
We
hope
in
the
next
days
weeks,
not
just
months,
we'll,
continue
to
see
more
progress,
but
that's
up
to
each
and
every
one
of
us
and
the
spirit
of
what
chief
Porter
said
about
the
issues
of
fire
prepare
I
make
this
point.
Let
us
also
do
our
best
to
stop
the
spread
in
this
case
of
Koba
19.
B
Do
what
you
can
to
do
the
social
distancing
that
we
must
practice
the
physical
distancing
aware
face
coverings
in
public
when
you
come
into
contact
close
contact
with
others
continue
to
do
your
best
to
stay,
healthy,
stay,
safe
and
stay
connected
to
your
loved
ones.
Take
care
everybody,
and
thanks
so
much
for
being
with
us
for.
