Description
Governor Newsom Signs Early Budget Action for Wildfire Prevention and Preparedness. Recorded April 13, 2021.
A
If
you
for
the
members
of
the
press,
if
you
have
an
opportunity
to
walk
by
one
of
our
cal
fire
folks
check
out
the
patch
on
the
side
of
their
uniform,
because
it
says
the
depart
california,
department
of
forestry
and
fire
protection
and
a
lot
of
times,
we've
forgotten
the
the
the
fact
that
these
folks
are
forestry
workers,
foremost
and
then
they
fire
suppression.
Folks.
So
today
is
the
down
payment
or
soon
the
governor's
gonna
come
up.
I
even
brought
a
pen
in
case
he
doesn't
have
one.
A
So
we
can
sign
this,
but
this
is
a
package
of
early
action
that
we
want
to
take
to
create
an
architecture
for
all
hands
on
deck.
Doug
chief
porter
said
he
talked
to
the
folks
and
said
really
what
you
can
do
to
harden
your
house
individually,
cut
down
some
excess
or
pick
up
some
excess
brush.
I
guess
the
former
president
would
act
like
we're
all
norwegians
going
out
there
and
cleaning
picking
up
leaves,
but
it
all
counts,
and
what
this
bill
does.
A
It
creates
that
architecture
going
forward
in
the
budget
year
and
in
the
years
forward,
so
we
can
plug
in
different
amounts
of
money
to
to
get
our
forests
in
hell
in
in
in
good
health.
I
think
my
colleague
from
the
assembly
who
I've
worked
hard
with
you
know
don't
want
to
tell
you
guys
any
any
battles
that
we
had
with
you
with
the
administration
to
getting
to
the
point.
But
what
what
the
package
does
is.
A
It
gives
a
little
bit
to
everyone
and
it
and
it
it
talks
to
our
fire,
safe
councils,
our
counties,
the
regional
folks
that
we're
going
to
need
your
help.
It's
not
just
all
cal
fire
doing
this
loads
of
this
money
is
going
to
go
to
local
businesses,
local
fire
council,
so
that
they
can
do
the
work
immediately.
A
That
has
to
that.
That
needs
to
get
done,
and
it's
you
know,
as
my
colleague
was
saying,
it's
it's.
It's
a
wild
lands
health.
So
it's
talking
about
wild
lands.
That
means
forest.
That
means
chaparral.
That
means
grasslands
that
are
in
the
north,
south
central
valley
and
and
that
investment
which
we
continue,
which
we
will
say.
A
You
know
try
to
make
the
commitment
that
will
be
continue
in
the
in
the
years
to
go
to
come,
focuses
also
on
all
the
different
departments
that
are
part
of
the
state
mosaic,
there's
money
in
here
for
the
state
parks
and
the
fish
and
wildlife
30
million.
But
those
are
local
funds.
These
folks
are
going
to
contract
with
the
local
people
that
are
in
the
parkland
area
to
make
sure
that
those
jobs
and
that
work
gets
gets
done.
A
It's
comprehensive,
it's
balance,
it's
thoughtful
and
it
it
takes
the
long
approach,
the
long
game
that
we
need
to
to
do
and
again
it's
just
a
down.
It's
just
a
down
payment.
I'm
not
going
to
bore
you
with
every
little
detail
of
what
the
package
does.
I
will
I
will
say,
as
you
can
catch
from
a
theme
of
my
remarks.
A
While
we
have
25
million
dollars
in
economic
stimulus
for
for
jobs
embedded
in
all
the
programs,
whether
we're
doing
fuel
breaks
or
home
hardening
or
the
wildlands
health
are
local
jobs
that
are
that
are
in
there.
So
I'm
tickled
silly
to
be
here
in
oroville,
like
oroville,
to
be
with
the
governor
to
sign
this,
and
you
know
this
pandemic
that
it's
a
sign
of
the
times.
Besides
having
the
the
mask
on,
you
know,
if
you
just
think
in
2021
earlier
this
year,
the
legislation
legislature
took
actions
on
the
early
on
the
eviction
moratorium.
A
We
extended
that
deadline
and
the
governor
was
leadership,
was
instrumental
in
making
that
happen,
and
just
around
valentine's
day.
I
guess
it
was.
We
had
this
massive
stimulus
program
to
to
cover
relief
from
covet
19.,
and
here
we
are
at
our
third
early
action,
massive
investment
of
536
million
dollars
for
fire
prevention
and
it's
april
13th.
A
I
can
I'm
delighted
to
be
called
upon
to
introduce
the
governor
of
the
state
of
california
who
understands
this,
whose
leadership
continues
to
be
instrumental
in
bringing
the
forestry
nomenclature
back
to
california,
we're
all
hands
on
deck
and
we're
all
going
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
get
in
this
season
next
season
for
the
next
decade
for
the
decade
beyond,
because
that's
what's
going
to
take.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
governor
of
the
state
of
california,
gavin
newsom,.
B
C
The
efforts
we
did
to
advance
similar
amount
of
money,
two
and
a
half
billion
dollars
of
small
business
grants
and
a
3.8
billion
dollar
stimulus,
the
golden
state
stimulus
to
working
families
and
the
working
poor
in
the
states.
Demonstrable
example
of
the
partnership
between
our
office
and
the
legislature.
The
fact
we're
able
to
move
together
as
well
on
that
action,
6.6
billion
dollars
to
get
our
kids
safely
back
into
in-person
instruction.
C
I
have
the
privilege,
including
this
morning,
to
speak
to
my
fellow
governors
all
across
the
nation,
and
that
is
not
always
the
case,
and
yet
here
we
are
again
in
that
spirit
of
urgency
and
meeting
a
moment
with
a
536
million
dollar
early
action
to
address
the
pressing
issue
of
wildfires
in
the
state
of
california.
I
couldn't
be
more
pleased
and
I
couldn't
be
more
blessed
by
not
only
the
partnership
but
their
leadership
assembly
member
bloom.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
C
Thank
you
for
your
son's
service,
senator
wyckowski,
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
your
stewardship
to
advance
a
cause
that
was
intended
to
be
advanced
later
in
the
year
in
june,
but
that
sense
of
urgency.
This
early
action
brings
over
half
the
money
that
we
had
proposed
to
be
set
aside
for
wildfire
preparedness
and
preparation
and
some
suppression
dollars
and
brings
it
now
into
the
present.
C
When
I
sign
this
bill
today,
we'll
be
advancing
the
cause
of
advancing
more
prescribed
burns
in
this
state,
more
home,
hardening
support
in
this
state,
more
efforts
to
support
rural
communities
and
world
economies
through
wood
materials
and
wood
products,
and
the
opportunity
to
support
small
businesses
through
grants
and
loans
to
support
our
collective
efforts
all
across
the
state.
We
build
partnerships
and
bridges
with
local
nonprofits
as
well
as
conservancies
all
across
the
state
of
california.
C
We're
also
very
mindful
that
we
need
to
continue
to
do
more
to
support
the
men
and
women
in
uniform
and
that's
why
we're
pleased,
just
a
few
weeks
back
through
an
emergency
appropriation
to
provide
80
million
740
000
to
support
another
1
399
1400
new
cal
fire
staff
members
to
get
a
jump
start
and
to
get
moving
early
on
this
wildfire
season,
and
I
just
want
to
compliment
and
thank
chief
porter
and
his
leadership
and
his
entire
team
to
all
the
men
and
women
in
uniform,
cal
fire.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
C
Thank
you
for
your
heroism
beth.
Thank
you
for
putting
this
in
perspective
and
bringing
your
personal
story
when
you
noted
that
not
only
had
you
suffered
a
loss
in
terms
of
your
own
home
and
the
bravery,
the
muscle,
bravery
of
your
family
members
that
came
to
rescue,
but
the
idea
that
you
were
taking
calls
from
people.
You
knew
personally
in
those
9-1-1
calls,
including
when
you
stated
this
folks
that
lost
their
lives.
C
C
You
know
I
was
up
here
a
couple
years
ago,
the
campfire
I
told
folks
in
butte
county
I'd,
come
back,
it's
my
sixth
time
back
in
the
county,
we're
here
for
the
long
haul-
we're
not
just
here
when
the
cameras
are
on
we're,
not
just
here
when
the
fires
are
burning.
We
want
to
be
here
for
the
recovery,
and
we
want
to
be
here
mindful
that
good
enough.
Never
is
that
this
is
a
constant
and
never-ending
challenge.
There
is
no,
you
know
definition
of
success.
C
C
It's
a
different
paradigm,
it's
a
different
framework,
but
we
recognize
in
the
spirit
of
best
comments,
spirit
of
chief
supporters,
comments
that
we
have
to
recognize.
The
hots
are
getting
hotter.
The
dries
are
getting
drier.
Just
look
at
this
boat
launch
this
boat
launch
supposed
to
launch
a
boat.
There's
no
water
behind
us,
we're
not
a
reservoir.
It's
a
40
year
low
and
we're
only
in
the
second
year
of
these
new
drought
conditions.
C
We
talked
about
that
cumulus
cloud
that
went
up
and
literally
created
its
own
weather
conditions,
some
50
000
feet
up.
These
are
extremes
likes
of
which
these
men
and
women
in
uniform
have
never
experienced
and
neighbors
friends
family
have
never
experienced.
So
as
a
consequence,
we
got
to
change
our
approach,
change
our
strategies
and
we
need
to
step
up
our
efforts.
So
this
is
a
down
payment.
As
was
noted,
this
is
not
the
totality
of
our
efforts,
another
1400
firefighters.
C
We
got
the
helitack
crews
that
are
being
trained,
they'll,
be
fully
operational.
By
may,
we've
got
new
fire
and
hand,
crews,
california
conservation
corps
and
the
good
work
that
they
do
each
and
every
day
we're
going
to
support
more
of
their
efforts,
we're
addressing
some
of
the
prison
population
issues
and
the
fire
crews.
By
extending
from
five
to
eight
years,
the
ability
for
people
to
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
get
out
and
contribute
through
public
service,
their
efforts
again
expanding
the
pool
of
available
support
as
well.
C
We
are
anticipating
need
for
more
mutual
aid.
We
have
a
remarkable
mutual
aid
system.
You
see
that
every
single
fire
season,
when
you
see
folks
from
santa
monica
and
culver
city
up
here
in
places
like
butte
and
plumas
and
elsewhere,
helping
support
the
local
firefighting
efforts,
but
we
also
see
that,
from
across
the
country
from
as
far
back
east
is
new
jersey,
not
just
closer
west
and
home
places
like
texas
and
colorado,
new
mexico
and
nevada,
let
alone
oregon
and
washington
have
been
incredible
partners
for
us.
C
C
We
have
new,
more
robust
firefighting
strategies
and
plans
with
our
investor
owned
utilities,
including
new
mandates
for
pg
e,
as
it
relates
to
wildfire
prevention
and
oversight
from
the
public
utilities,
commission,
with
real
sanctions
and
real
comprehensive
plans
to
address
the
issues
of
undergrounding,
hardening
all
the
related
issues
that
need
to
comprehensibly
be
considered
in
order
to
keep
this
state
safe.
That
said,
in
closing
what
chief
porter
said,
I
hope
people
paid
attention
to
this
will
be
an
active
fire
season.
C
That
said,
final
words,
I
want
to
just
extend
heartfelt
appreciation
and
condolences
to
those
families
that
were
torn
asunder,
the
15
people
that
lost
their
lives
in
this
north
complex
orig
bean
that
bear
fire
a
young
man,
16
years
old
from
nearby
county
berry,
creek,
our
city
rather
community,
who
lost
his
lives,
the
williams
family
and
one
extent
our
gratitude
for
those
families
resilience
and
their
commitment
to
the
collective
cause
and
memory
of
those
who
lost
their
lives.
This
was
the
most
deadly
wildfire
complex
in
california.
C
We
talk
in
terms
of
records
because
every
year
we
seem
to
break
these
records,
but
this
year
we're
also
breaking
another
record
and
that's
a
commitment
to
put
real
working
capital
to
address
some
of
the
root
causes,
to
focus
in
on
our
prevention
and
fuel
breaks
and
to
invest
in
historic
amount
of
money
in
preparation
of
this
year's
fire
season.
Final
words,
I
want
to
just
pay
note
to
what
is
grabbing
a
lot
of
attention,
and
that
is
relates
to
the
issue
of
the
j
j
vaccine
here
in
the
state
of
california.
C
J
j
represents
about
four
percent
of
our
weekly
allocation
in
this
state.
It
will
not
materially
impact
our
ability
to
fulfill
our
expectations
and
commitment
to
provide
enough
vaccine
to
fully
vaccinate
all
those
that
seek
to
get
vaccinated
so
that
we
can
begin
to
more
fully
open
our
economy
by
june
15th.
C
We
will
not
delay
our
efforts
later
this
week
to
open
up
vaccine
eligibility
to
all
californians
16
and
over
that's
on
track.
Many
counties
and
cities
have
already
moved
in
that
direction.
We
anticipate
more
moderna
and
pfizer
vaccine
this
week
compared
to
the
week
prior
and
our
pharmacies
anticipate
getting
more
direct
allocation
of
those
same
two
vaccines.
C
Later
this
week,
6.85
million
j
j
vaccines
been
administered
in
the
state,
including
into
my
arm.
The
j
j
vaccine
has
been
extraordinarily
safe,
saved
for
six
specific
reported
instances
that
the
cdc
and
the
fda
have
highlighted.
Today,
that's
less
than
one
in
a
million
incidences
that
were
deemed
severe
and
tragically
one
individual
lost
her
life.
It's
impacted
women
18
to
48
years
old.
C
We
will
learn
more
about
some
of
the
nuances
and
details
in
terms
of
where
those
vaccines
were
administered
and
who
those
individuals
are.
In
the
days
and
weeks
we
met
virtually
today
with
dr
fauci
and
the
task
force
the
white
house
and
governors
from
all
across
the
country
to
be
briefed
on
this
decision.
That
was
made
less
than
24
hours
ago.
C
We
are
aligned,
not
surprisingly,
our
efforts
here
by
pulling
the
j
j
vaccine
from
our
clinics
and
our
distribution
network,
we
have
8
800
individuals
that
have
current
reservations
on
the
my
turn
app
and
we're
working
to
convert
those
reservations
to
modern
and
pfizer
alternatives
in
real
time.
More
information
will
be
forthcoming.
C
On
that
continued
to
make
the
case,
these
vaccines
are
safe
and
effective.
23
million
doses
have
been
administered
in
the
state
of
california,
more
than
all,
but
five
other
nations
in
the
world.
More
than
seven
million
doses
than
any
other
state
in
our
nation,
we
have
the
lowest
positivity
rate,
not
just
the
highest
number
of
administered
vaccine
doses
in
the
nation.
One
point:
five
percent
positivity
to
rate
rate
today,
1568
individual
cases
among
the
lowest
number
of
cases
reported
in
some
time.
Tragically,
though,
nine
people
did
indeed
lose
their
lives.
C
This
pandemic
disease
remains
deadly
and
the
way
we
defeat
this
disease.
The
way
we
turn
the
page
is
we
get
vaccinated.
The
sooner
we
get
vaccinated.
The
sooner
we
open
up
our
businesses
without
any
restrictions.
Four
new
counties
today
moved
into
less
restrictive
tiers.
That's
encouraging
and
good
news.
We
hope
to
eliminate
that
blueprint
as
early
as
june
15th,
but
we
can't
do
that
unless
people
get
vaccinated
and
we
are
mindful
that
with
the
j
j,
our
ability
to
do
as
much
as
we
had
anticipated
this
week
and
over
the
next
few
weeks
is
impacted.
C
But
our
medium
and
long-term
goals
are
not
impacted
because
of
the
abundance
of
moderna
and
pfizer
vaccines
that
we
indeed
anticipate
not
only
this
week
compared
to
next
week,
but
also
in
the
subsequent
and
upcoming
weeks.
And
so
we
were
assured
of
that
again
today.
In
our
conversation
with
the
white
house-
and
we
continue
to
be
mindful
that
as
a
western
states
collaborative,
we
also
have
a
role
to
play
in
the
safety
and
the
efficacy
and
our
western
states.
C
Safety
advisory
task
force
is
meeting
later
today
and
will
be
reviewing
the
decision
from
the
cdc
and
the
fda
for
consideration
and
concurrence
as
well.
And
so
that's
just
forgive
me
long-winded,
perhaps
but
an
important.
I
hope
comprehensive
update
on
where
we
are
with
the
j
j
vaccine
and
where
we
are
on
our
vaccine
efforts
more
broadly
but
again,
we're
here
for
a
purpose,
and
that
is
to
sign
this
bill
with
that.
D
Hi,
governor
sophia
bollag,
here
from
the
sacramento
bee,
you
mentioned
that
the
state
has
experienced
the
past
two
years
of
drought
conditions,
there's
a
bipartisan
group
of
lawmakers
that
are
calling
on
you
to
declare
a
drought
emergency.
You
said
last
week,
you're
not
planning
to
do
that.
I'm
hoping
you
can
explain
in
a
bit
more
detail
the
scientific
threshold
that
you
see
for
declaring
a
drought
emergency
and
why
california
hasn't
reached
that
yet
well,.
C
We
have
drug
conditions
and
I've
maintained,
as
I
stated
last
week
very
clearly
as
well.
We
are
iterative
process,
open
argument
and
we
are
working
with
our
partners
across
the
spectrum,
including
conversation
I
had
with
the
interior
secretary
yesterday
on
this
topic
among
a
number
of
other
topics,
and
so
we
have
here
today,
just
coincidentally
wade,
crowefit
head
of
our
resource
agency,
who
ran
point
for
the
brown
administration
on
all
things.
E
So
we
will
continue
to
work
closely
with
impacted
agricultural
communities
as
well
as
those
agencies
protecting
fish
and
wildlife,
and
just
as
soon
as
we
need
additional
actions
and
the
consideration
of
an
emergency
proclamation
to
take
specific
actions
we
couldn't
otherwise
take.
Certainly
the
governor's
asked
us
to
raise
to
raise
those
points
with
him.
C
I
can
assure
you
look,
we've
been
having
this
conversation
for
a
number
of
months
now
we
are
prepared
to
move
very
quickly
when
we
are
prepared
to
move,
but
on
the
basis
of
the
work
that
we
have
been
doing
and
the
ability
and
flexibility
that
we
currently
are
afforded.
We
have
been
advancing
a
number
of
efforts.
We
have
an
internal
team
strike
team.
C
We
have
a
task
force,
we've
assembled,
we
have
leadership
from
across
the
spectrum,
including,
as
I
noted,
a
partnership
now
with
the
federal
administration
and
their
determinations
and
decision
making
is
also
critical,
as
it
relates
to
advancing
ultimate
conclusion
or
least
answering
the
question
more
firmly.
But
we'll
be
talking
a
lot
more
about
this
in
the
days
and
weeks,
not
just
months
ahead.
F
Hi
governor
I'm
natalie
hansen
from
chico
enterprise
record
the
paper
of
record
for
butte
county
and
I
was
wondering,
has
your
office
reviewed
the
report
from
the
independent
public
advocates
office
at
the
california
public
utilities,
commission,
which
was
submitted
to
pg
e
for
consideration
outlining
four
key
deficiencies
in
the
package
which
may
not
fully
address
the
high
risk
areas
in
marginalized
highest
impacted
communities,
particularly
those
already
recovering
from
the
most
destructive
wildfires,
such
as
butte
county?
Had
your
office
reviewed
and
discussed
how
to
further
address
gaps
and
resources
for
those
most
marginalized
and
recovering
communities?
F
C
C
G
C
I
appreciate
looking
we're
going
to
be
working
with
conservancies
we're
going
to
be
working
to
provide
grant
funding,
we're
going
to
provide
that
not
only
to
formal
ngos
and
community-based
organizations,
but
also
to
private
sector
and
businesses.
It's
noted
that
there's
a
catalyst
fund
component
of
this.
The
catalyst
fund
is
to
catalyze
investments,
low-interest
loans
to
allow
private
sector
entrepreneurs
the
opportunity
to
partner
in
terms
of
some
of
our
forest
management,
as
well
as
vegetation
management
efforts.
C
In
addition
to
that,
we'll
be
hiring
locally,
as
we
tend
to
do
as
relates
to
hand,
crews
and
other
supports
that
will
provide
and
supplement
the
efforts
of
men
and
women
in
uniform,
particularly
through
cal
fire,
as
it
relates
to
the
actual
distribution.
We
didn't
lay
out
a
58
county
strategy
with
specific
prescribed
dollars
attached,
but
we
provided
in
what
was,
I
think,
significant
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
the
assembly
member
and
the
senator.
G
C
The
things
I'm
very
proud
of
is
we
we've
moved
with
urgency.
A
couple
years
ago,
I've
been
in
office
seems
like
decades
it's
been
25
months
or
so
a
little
over
two
years,
and
one
of
the
things
first,
actions
that
I
took
as
governor
was
up
in
placer
county
to
move
forward
with
a
40.5
day,
sprint
to
expedite
the
permitting
and
efforts
to
do
wildfire
management,
vegetation
and
forest
management.
C
We
identified
35
high-profile
projects
impacting
200
vulnerable
communities
in
this
state,
and
we
committed
to
a
cause
to
take
things
that
were
going
to
be
completed
in
10
years
and
get
it
done
in
a
calendar
month
all.
But
one
project
was
completed
within
a
calendar
month.
There
was
one
larger
project
in
santa
cruz
mountains
that
was
extended
a
little
bit
into
last
year
and
now
has
been
complete
one
of
the
things
we
also
did
that
hasn't
been
highlighted
and
didn't
get
attention.
That
goes
to
your
question.
C
H
You
governor
and
thanks
for
the
question
related
to
will
this
money
portions
of
it
be
available
to
individual
fire
stations.
What
I
I
would
like
to
impress
upon
this
is
this
is
an
all
of
the
above
approach,
so
we're
looking
at
money.
That's
going
to
be
available
for
hardening
structures
in
some
cases,
doing
defensible
space
work
in
a
community
setting,
doing
fuel,
break
and
fuel
reduction
project
work
in
and
around
communities,
and
also
landscape
level,
health
management
in
order
to
reduce
the
intensity
of
fires
coming
into
communities.
H
Every
every
area
of
california
is
eligible
through
fire,
safe
councils
through
other
non-profits
through
county
organizations
and
also
fire
departments.
So
everybody
should
be
looking
at
opportunities
to
get
in
here.
The
grant
application
period
is
open
and
it
closes
mid-may
and
we'll
look
at
the
grant
applications
that
we
have
for
these
funds
and
apply
them,
as
was
was
directed
through
this
process
through
a
very
comprehensive
but
also
open
perspective
and
looking
at
all
opportunities
of
good
projects
to
fund.
H
This
is
a
down
payment.
We
know
that
there
are
going
to
be
projects
that
are
important,
that
we
need
to
get
to
that.
Won't
be
a
part
of
the
first
funding,
but
they
will
be
a
part
of
funding
downstream.
And
we
are
committed
to
continuing
this
work
into
the
years
and
hopefully
into
the
decades
that
it
will
take
to
make
the
whole
difference
that
we
need
to.
C
F
I
Governor
adam
beam
with
the
associated
press,
even
before
today's
announcement
about
the
johnson
johnson
vaccine,
you
had
a
sizable
group
of
people
in
the
population
that
were
skeptical
of
the
vaccine
or
perhaps
flat
out
just
refused
to
get
it
in
light
of
today's
news,
how
should
you
and
the
state
adjust
your
messaging
around
the
safety
and
efficacy
of
these
vaccines?
Well,
we'll.
C
Continue
to
do
what
we've
done
and
put
things
in
perspective,
I
think
dr
fauci
did
it
very
effectively
today
at
a
white
house
briefing
making
the
case.
Not
only
have
we
administered
some
6.85
million
doses
of
the
jj
vaccine,
but
you've
had
six
recorded
instances
of
severe
conditions.
Six,
that's
one
in
quite
literally
a
million,
and
so
you
have
to
put
that
in
perspective.
I
had
the
jj
vaccine
and
had
no
side
effects
whatsoever.
C
C
C
We
have
emergency
use
authorization
12
to
15
year
olds,
with
the
pfizer
vaccine,
that's
pending
and
we'll
make
announcements,
if
indeed,
that
is
formally
lifted
by
the
federal
government
after
it's
reviewed
by
our
western
states
advisory
committee.
But
again,
I
think
just
putting
things
into
perspective.
C
C
You
have
a
population
if
you're
going
to
reach
herd
immunity
that
must
include
all
of
our
children
as
well,
and
yet
we
don't
have
emergency
use,
authorization
or
authorization
broadly
for
people
below
the
age
of
16..
You
also
have
to
be
mindful
of
the
variance
we
have
one
thousand
and
ninety
seven
uk
variants
that
we've
sequenced,
roughly
thirty
five
thousand
sequence
and
we've
done
genomic
sequence:
we've
done
in
the
state
of
california,
1097
uk
variants
over
12
500
west
coast
variants.
C
We
have
south
african
variants
and
we
have
a
brazilian
variant
now:
48
brazilian
24,
south
african
23,
forgive
me,
and
so
those
variants
combined
with
resistance,
combined
with
the
fact
that
not
all
of
the
herd
is
included
in
terms
of
the
availability
or
accessibility
of
the
vaccine.
Make
that
question
very
difficult.
Forgive
me
very,
very
difficult
to
answer,
and
and
and
I
am
not
just
aligning
myself
to
percentage
estimates
from
70
to
85
plus
I
heard
the
other
day
90
to
get
to
her
immunity.
B
Hi,
governor
ashley
zavala
with
next
star
media
group
I
wanted
to
follow
up.
I
know
the
usda
secretary
sent
you
a
letter
last
month
on
declaring
essentially
50
of
california's
58
counties,
natural
disasters
due
to
drought,
I'm
wondering
if
there
was
any
follow-up
conversation
there
and
the
work
essentially
between
the
state
and
federal
government
on
that
front.
Yeah.
C
We
have
a
playbook
that
was
led
by
wade
crowfoot
as
it
relates
the
last
five
year:
drought
that
was
dusted
off
months
ago.
We
have
executive
orders
that
have
already
been
drafted
but
haven't
yet
been
signed.
We're
dealing
in
this
iterate
back
and
forth.
The
federal
government
trying
to
figure
out
federal
allocations
versus
state
allocations,
we're
mindful
of
the
unique
conditions
up
north
as
it
relates
to
what
happened,
what
happens
potentially
the
klamath
and
the
impacts
that
will
have
into
california
impacts,
obviously
related
to
the
delta
impacts
related
to
the
colorado
river.
C
C
This
relates
the
anxiety
now
entering
the
second
year
of
drought
conditions,
and
we
will
be
very
very
forthright
if
we
make
a
determination
of
drought
emergency,
but
again
that
has
to
come
with
certain
benefits
that
otherwise
couldn't
be
accrued
without
it
and,
as
secretary
crowfoot
just
mentioned,
we're
able
to
move
on
many
different
fronts
without
the
official
declaration
of
emergency.
Thank.
B
You,
when
you
were
in
the
central
valley
last
week
and
you
were
asked
pretty
much
the
same
question
about
the
state
of
emergency
declaration.
You
did
mention
that
you'd
be
making
some
announcements
in
this
space
in
the
coming
days.
I
don't
know
if
you
just
sort
of
tease
that
with
drafting
executive
orders,
but
are
those
announcements
coming
no.
C
E
Yeah
thanks
so
much
so,
as
I
mentioned,
wade
crow
foot
secretary
for
natural
resources,
as
I
explained
in
my
last
response,
not
a
week
goes
by
when
we're
actually
considering
additional
actions,
we
should
be
taking
either
on
the
water
management
side
or
on
protecting
fish
and
wildlife
or
providing
emergency
support
to
impacted
communities.
The
governor
raised
the
klamath
river
basin,
for
example,
as
one
area,
that's
particularly
hard
hit
by
drought
and
has
been
the
focus
of
two
federal
secretaries
attention
in
the
last
week
focused
on
providing
resources
to
agricultural
producers.
E
There
that's
a
really
good
example
of
where
we're
active
in
the
last
several
days,
working
in
partnership
with
our
federal
agencies
to
address
that
specific
issue.
So
I
think,
as
it
relates
to
the
question,
you'll
hear
more
and
more
of
our
actions
over
time
here
as
conditions
dictate.
We
are
monitoring
these
these
drought
conditions
in
real
time
and
we'll
take
actions
necessary
to
protect
communities.
Obviously,
our
economy,
as
well
as
our
fish
and
wildlife.
C
Any
other
questions
well
with
that.
Let
me
thank
everybody
for
being
out
here
again.
I
wanted
to
thank
beth
chief
porter
thank
the
credible
leadership
assembly
member
and
the
senator
for
being
up
not
only
being
up
here
but
for
their
ongoing
leadership,
not
just
stewardship,
as
it
relates
to
the
issue
of
wildfires
and
forest
and
vegetation
management.
Final
point:
I
just
want
to
reinforce
this
because
it's
incredibly
important,
this
is
just
a
down
payment.
This
just
gets
the
ball
rolling.
This
is
early
action.
C
This
by
no
means
no
stretch
of
the
imagination,
is
the
final
word
on
the
state
of
california's
efforts
to
lean
in
to
this
wildfire
season.
We
have
a
plethora
of
other
issues,
including
lidar
technologies
and
new
satellite
technologies.
That
will
come
to
bear
new
partnerships
that
are
being
advanced
across
the
spectrum.
New
mutual
aid
strategies,
new
strategies
on
psps,
we'll
even
get
to
that
and
more
expectation,
particularly
from
our
ious,
not
least
of
which
pg
e,
particularly
for
those
here
in
northern
california,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
be.
C
On
top
of
this,
continue
to
make
this
statements
public
and
continue
the
hard
work
of
making
sure
we
manifest
the
expectations
that
we
set
out
here
today,
because
when
we
sign
a
bill
that
doesn't
solve
a
problem,
it's
the
work
that
comes
after
that
signing
and
that's
why.
I
must
now
move
to
signing
part
of
this
conversation.
Thank
you
all
for
joining
us
and
why
don't
we
go
to
the
engine?
Just
because
it's
right
there,
pretty
quick.
