A
Yeah
I'm
jet-lagged.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
generous
interpretation.
I
wasn't
a
math
major
in
college,
so
we're
on
for
the
special
meeting
agenda,
beginning
act
who
I'm
for
today
October
30th
and
we
have
a
quorum
consisting
of
council
members
as
far
as
a
Perales,
foley,
uranus
davis
vice
mayor
and
myself,
and
we
are
first
going
to
consider
the
ratification
termination
or
extension
proclamation
and
local
emergency
due
to
predicted
high
fire
risk
conditions
and
expected
Public
Safety
power
shut
off.
Is
there
any
presentation?
Really?
Yes,
great.
B
So
good
afternoon,
a
mr.
mayor,
council,
member
city
manager
and
those
present
in
the
audience
today,
I
am
ray
Reardon,
the
director
of
the
Office
of
Emergency
Management
and
besides
me
as
as
Lee
Wilcox
city
manager's,
chief
of
staff,
who
served
as
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
director
during
one
of
the
shifts
we're
here
today
to
describe
some
of
the
actions
that
we
took
in
response
to
the
public
safety
shutoff
incident
from
October
26
to
the
28th.
B
As
we
look
at
the
actual
incident,
the
following
occurred:
the
National
Weather
Service
issued
a
red
flag
warning
on
Friday
October
24th
at
10:00
a.m.
on
October
24th,
and
a
conference.
Excuse
me
that
was
October
22nd,
that
the
red
flag
was
done
on
October
24th
in
a
conference
call
and
it's
subsequent
email
and
telephone
message
from
PG&E
declared
that
the
PSPs
would
take
place
due
to
the
high
fire
conditions
on
Saturday.
B
The
26th
PGD
confirmed
the
timing
of
the
PSPs
event,
and
the
impact
would
occur
on
Saturday
evening
at
5
o'clock
going
into
8
o'clock
on
Monday.
For
that
reason,
then
we
activated
our
Emergency
Operations
Center
at
4
o'clock.
That
afternoon,
PG&E
did
indicate
that,
following
all
clear
and
all
clear
means
that
the
weather
has
passed,
which
would
take
place
on
Monday
that
they
they
could
expect
power
out
72
hours
in
certain
areas,
which
is
an
improvement
from
the
original
5
days
that
they
forecasted
before
the
first
event.
B
C
Thank
you,
Ray.
The
team
has
worked
hard
to
better
understand
and
in
hate
to
enhance
our
own
capabilities
to
understand
and
analyze
the
data
that
we're
receiving
from
PG&E
to
determine
where
the
shut
off
swirl
will
occur.
An
example
of
this
is
for
the
this
this
second
shutoff.
It
was
originally
anticipated,
based
off
of
the
data
from
PG&E
and
the
maps
that
27,000
customers
would
be
affected
and
just
shy
of
300
medical,
baseline
customers.
C
In
reality,
that
was
much
smaller
7800
customers
and
barely
over
200
medical
baseline
and
has
received
the
data
and
worked
through
our
own
GIS
mapping
software.
Our
own
estimates
were
much
closer
to
the
actual
reality.
So,
as
these
events
continue
we're
continuing
to
be
better
at
or
finding
the
projections
utilizing
our
own
data
and
are
able
to
plan
much
more
efficiently
around
the
realities
of
these
impacts.
For
this
impact,
there
were
outages
and
districts,
two
four,
five,
eight
nine
and
ten
related
to
our
own
infrastructure.
C
We
were
able
to
anticipate
and
did
happen
as
one
satellite
library,
roughly
ten
schools,
one
health
care
medical
facility
and
then
much
smaller
impact
around
some
of
our
transportation
infrastructure.
With
only
five
traffic
signals
and
eight
major
kind
of
transportation
routes
affected
on
Sunday
morning
and
then
fire
station
28
and
the
south
part
of
district
10,
as
well
as
a
communications
tower,
there
did
go
out
temporarily
and
then
were
brought
back
up
on
generation
power
as
the
event
unfolded,
and
we
received
the
all-clear
for
the
public
safety
power
shut
off.
C
We
did
receive
word
from
PG&E
that
we
should
anticipate
for
a
third
event
and
that
would
begin
roughly
Tuesday
and
last
through
Wednesday.
This
was
much
smaller.
The
projected
customers
that
we
were
told
by
PG&E
and
our
own
data
confirmed
about
1500
customers
throughout
the
city.
However,
as
many
of
you
probably
experienced
last
night,
as
you
were
out,
the
weather
really
never
materialized
and
the
in
the
South
Bay
and
luckily
PG&E
late
last
night
into
this
morning.
We're
able
to
cancel
the
power
safety
shutoff,
and
so
no
additional
customers
were
affected.
B
B
We
also
continue
to
inventory
our
facility
and
be
able
to
monitor
remotely
the
capability
of
our
generators.
So
we
could
appropriately
provide
fuel,
and
the
lesson
learned
here
is
that
we
had
a
radio
transmission
tower-
that's
actually
managed
by
the
county
and
operated
by
the
county,
but
our
police
and
fire
radios
channels
were
on
that
Tower
and
it
came
within
15
minutes
of
going
out
without
fuel
and
we
were
able
to
respond
and
support
the
county
by
that
time.
B
The
county
actually
respond
at
the
same
time,
so
that
the
the
generator
did
not
go
down
very,
very
important
that
we
were
able
to
monitor
these
critical
facilities.
We
also
activated
an
access
and
functional
needs
branch
within
the
Emergency
Operations
Center.
We
realized
after
the
first
event.
We
need
to
understand
what
our
population
at
risk
is
and
have
a
better
response
to
that
population.
When
these
kinds
of
events
occurred,
learned
a
tremendous
amount
from
the
silicon
living,
Silicon
Valley
living
association
to
help
us
respond
to
that
need.
B
We
also
continued
our
great
coordination
with
the
telecom
agencies.
We're
now
able
to
get
very
good
information
from
ATT,
Verizon
and
Sprint
all
at
the
same
time,
in
terms
of
their
capabilities.
In
response
to
these
kinds
of
events,
we
did
continue
to
reach
out
to
the
public
and
they
provided
us
crowdsourcing
information
to
maintain
our
GIS
mapping
capability,
which
allows
us
to
better
refine
our
maps
and
understand
where
the
impact
the
emergency
is
occurring.
B
At
the
same
time,
we
provided
the
out
those
services
to
the
public
by
having
four
city
resource
centers
activated
and
operating
while
the
attendance
wasn't
high,
though
people
that
did
come
in,
did
report
appreciating
the
opportunity
to
get
their
devices
charged
up
and
get
some
snacks
and
water
and
to
etc
at
the
facilities.
We
did
in
the
end
contact
all
medical
baseline
customers
to
make
sure
that
they
were
safe.
A
D
A
comment
I
actually
went
by
the
Camden
community
center
on
Sunday
to
see
what
was
going
on.
There
was
nobody
there,
but
they
were
very
much
prepared
and
had
been
receiving
calls
from
people
in
Almaden
who
talked
about
needing
their
kids
needed
access
to
electricity
in
the
Wi-Fi,
so
they
could
do
their
homework.
