FOUR SIXTEEN GOOD MORNING. GOOD
MORNING MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS- SB
FOUR SIXTEEN DEALS WITH. THE
BUILDING STANDARDS FOR STATE
BUILDINGS IN TWENTY TWELVE
GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN ISSUED AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER. THAT ROUTE THE
SAID THAT- ANY NEW OR MAJORLY
RENOVATED STATE BUILDINGS TO HAD
TO OBTAIN LEED SILVER
CERTIFICATION OR HIGHER- SINCE
I'M ON A CAMPAIGN AGAINST
ACRONYMS I SHOULD. SAY THAT ITS
LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN IT'S THE
MOST WIDELY USED TO GREEN
BUILDING STANDARD IN THE WORLD
IT WAS CREATED BY THE GREEN OF
BUILDING ALLIANCE IT'S A
FRAMEWORK FOR HEALTHY EFFICIENT
COST SAVING BUILDINGS. SO POINTS
ARE DONE TO GET LEAD
CERTIFICATION AND IF IT'S
CERTIFIED IT'S A CERTAIN THING
NEXT UP IS SILVER NEXT UP IS
GOAL THE NEXT UP WITH PLATINUM.
WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN A PLATINUM
LEED CERTIFIED BUILDING THAT IS
WHAT THE SWING SPACE IS. AND
WHAT THIS BILL WOULD DO IS TAKE
THE STANDARDS THAT WERE IN THE
EXACT BORDER AND BUMP IT UP ONE
SO IN ESSENCE FUTURE STATE
BUILDING WHAT WOULD HAVE THE
GOAL. OF BEING COLD OR BETTER.
AND ARE THERE ARE TWO HUNDRED
AND SEVENTY THREE BUILDINGS
THAT- THAT MEET THIS ALREADY
THAT OUR STATE. AND THIS WILL
HOLD THE STATE ACCOUNTABLE AND
AFTER WE UPPED OUR AND DEALT
WITH CLIMATE GOALS LAST YEAR
THIS IS JUST REALLY HELP IN
MEETING THE CLIMATE BALLS GOALS
AND IT SHOULD BE SAID. THAT OVER
TIME THIS IS ALSO CHEAPER.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU SAVE
ELECTRICITY YOU SAVE WATER YOUR
LINE THE WINDOWS OVER TIME IT'S
MUCH LESS TO OPERATE THAN IT WAS
IN A CONVENTIONAL BUILDING THAT
DID NOT HAVE WEAK STANDARDS AND
SO. THE BILL HAS NO REGISTERED
OPPOSITION WITH ME TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS AS MIKE WEST WITH THE
STATE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS WITH
THE STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL AND
I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASKS FOR AN
IPHONE. THANK YOU SENATOR I WILL
NOW MOVE ON TO- LEAVE WITNESSES
IN SUPPORT IN THE- NO FORMAL
WE'VE GOT TECHNICAL- WHAT YEAH.
MISTER WEST YES MORE LIKE WEST
ON BEHALF OF THE STATE BUILDING
AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL
HERE TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS THANK YOU THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER SUPPORT
WITH THIS IS HERE IN THE ROOM
THIS MORNING- ANY WITNESSES IN

IN THE ROOMMATE IN OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL. OKAY CAN WE- MOVE ON
TO WITNESSES- THE TELECONFERENCE

TELEPHONE KEYPAD. HE MAY TRY
YOUR QUESTION AT ANY TIME FOR
REPEATING THE ONE ZERO COMMAND.
IF YOU'RE USING A SPEAKER PHONE
PLEASE PICK UP THE HANDSET
BEFORE PRESSING THE NUMBERS.

. WHAT IF THERE IS THE ONE
COMING UP AT THIS TIME MISTER
CHAIR WE SAY NO. FOR OKAY. OKAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WILL BRING
IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE ANY
COMMENTS. QUESTION QUESTIONS
QUICK PLEASE SO THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN GOLD AND SILVER IF
YOU'RE TECHNICAL EXPERT CAN HELP
US WITH THAT A LITTLE BIT. SO
THE- THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOLD
AND SILVER MAY JUST BE A MATTER
OF A POINT OR TWO BECAUSE IT'S
TEN POINTS. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE TWO SO ONLY DISCUSS THIS
WITH DIFFERENT ENTITIES- IT MAY
BE. JUST A SMALL- SHISH I WANNA
SAY PRICE BUT A SMALL CONDITION
IN- THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOLD
AND SILVER I HOPE THAT ANSWERS
YOUR QUESTION LET ME ADD TO IT
THANK ARM THAT POINTS ARE BASED
ON. OUR WASTE WATER WATER USE
ACCESS TO A- ALTERNATIVE
TRANSPORTATION AND A WHOLE HOST
OF ISSUES SO WHEN HE SAYS THAT A
POINT OR TWO OUT IT WOULD BE
THAT SOMETHING IS BETTER ABOUT
ONE OF THOSE CATEGORIES THAT
PUMPS THE BUILDING THAT'S
CORRECT CONCERNS ANY RELATED TO
THE MATERIALS THAT ARE USED TO
BUILD THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES
YES THAT'S THAT'S A PIECE OF IT.
GET MY CONCERN GETS INTO- WHILE
THIS IS YOU KNOW THAT WHAT THE
COST BENEFIT IS WHEN YOU'RE
LOOKING AT THE SILVER BETWEEN
THE SILVER AND THE GOLD- WHAT WE
ALREADY DO- VERSES THE COST AND
A LOT OF THE COST NOWADAYS IS
POTENTIAL DELAYS. IN ACQUIRING
MATERIALS AND WHETHER THAT THAT
DIFFERENCES IS. WORTH THE COST
DIFFERENCE IS THERE A COST
ANALYSIS IT'S DONE TO BE ABLE TO
GIVE US AN IDEA BECAUSE I THINK
YOU KNOW THE TAXPAYERS ARE LIKE
THE MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK. AND
IF WE'RE NOT GETTING THAT BIG OF
A BENEFIT IT'S KIND OF LIKE WHY
SWITCH. EN LET ME. HELP WITH
THAT IT'S DIFFERENT BY EVERY
BUILDING BASED ON WHAT THE
FACTORS ARE BY EVERY BUILDING
AND- IT MAY BE THAT IF IT TAKES
THREE YEARS TO GET THE MATERIALS
BUT YOU'VE ACHIEVED THE SAVINGS
IN WATER. OR WINDOW COVERINGS OR
TRANSPORTATION YOU GET THERE
OTHERWISE AND SO IS A AND MANY
STATE BUILDINGS MEET US ALREADY
THIS IS JUST CODIFYING WHAT'S
THERE AND MOVING IT UP. AND THEN
THE CONTRACTOR OR DEPARTMENT OF
GENERAL SERVICES CAN MAKE THE
DECISION BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL
FACTORS THAT ARE PRESENT WHEN
THEY'RE ACTUALLY. DEALING WITH
THE BUILDINGS ARE CURRENT
BUILDINGS AT PLATINUM BUILDING
RIGHT YES. THERE WERE TO TOP OF
THE LINE. RIGHT OKAY THEY NEED
SOME ADJUSTMENTS I CAN TELL YOU
THAT THE TOILET UP STAIRS
FLUSHES EVERY TWO MINUTES
WHETHER SOMEBODY'S THEY'RE NOT
I'M THERE IS A WAY TO START A
RESPONSIBLE FOR OKAY. WE'RE
CONTRACT THE OTHER INCIDENT.
ANYWAY THANK YOU MUCH OF. THE
ANSWERS SURE- WE'RE SCORING
COMMITTEE SEX PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL. DODD HERE DOT HERE WILK
PRESS. WILL PRESENT ELDORADO GIL
. ARCHER ASHBY BRADFORD. RIGHT
HERE GLAZER. JONES ONE. JONES

HERE YES. PORTANTINO ORANGE HERE
ROB. ROSS HERE RUBIO. THE ART OF
. YEAH THE ART OF HERE. OKAY
WE'VE GOT A QUORUM. WE'RE GONNA
CONTINUE WITH THIS BILL THEN
WE'LL MOVE TO THE CONCERT ITEMS.
THE S. B. FOR SIXTEEN OTHER. ON
THIS BILL. YEP I HAD A SIMILAR
SITUATION- THAT. IT I THINK THIS
IS A IS A GOOD BILL AND WE
ALWAYS OUGHT TO BE STRIVING TO
HAVE THE BEST BEAT TO BE A MODEL
FOR EVERYBODY ELSE PARTICULARLY
WHEN THE STATE CALIFORNIA HAS-
REGULATIONS- OR WILL MANDATING
YOUR BUILDINGS AND CITIES AND
COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE OUGHT TO BE A
LEADER DOING THE SAME. BUT I
THINK USING THIS BUILDING AS AN
EXAMPLE ONCE AGAIN AND NOT THAT
YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE SENATOR
LARRY. WAS VERY INTERESTING WHEN
WE CAME IN HERE WE HAD LIKE
LEVEL ONE CHARGERS FOR ELECTRIC
VEHICLES. AND THE REASON WAS
GIVEN TO ME WAS BECAUSE- IF WE
HAVE LEVEL THREE WE MIGHT NOT
MAKE THE PLATINUM STANDARD AND
THAT'S KIND OF ALWAYS ONE OF THE
SIX I GUESS DO YOU KNOW IF THE
OR MISTER WEST YOU. IS THERE A
WAY TO A P. THOSE STANDARDS
BECAUSE IT SURE SEEMS TO ME IF
WE'RE GOING TO AT ALL WHAT
TRICKS SYSTEM PERHAPS LEAD IN IN
THEIR- LOOK AT THEY'RE JUST.
THEY'VE BEEN ON THIS PROCESS I
THINK NOW I'D WE WERE LEAD BACK
SO THEY'VE BEEN AROUND WHAT
FIFTEEN. ROUGHLY FIFTEEN TWENTY
YEARS. BUT THERE OUGHT TO BE A
WAY TO BE ABLE TO APPEAL SOME OF
THESE THINGS THAT WE'RE FINDING
IN PRACTICE THAT MAY NOT BE-
WORKING ALL THAT WELL I THINK IT
GOES BACK TO A QUESTION. OF DID
I ANSWERED WITH MISTER SEYARTO.
THIS IS REAL MANAGEMENT THING ED
N. FOR SO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. IT THE
PRECISE INSTANCE THAT YOU NAMED
THEY SHOULD DECIDE THEY'RE
GETTING THE POINTS ELSEWHERE AND
GO FOR THE RIGHT CHARGER. YOU
KNOW AND SO IT'S INTO MANAGEMENT
THAT YOU MAKE THE ASSESSMENT OF
WHAT YOU GO TO AND WHAT YOU DO
AND IT DID. HE E. R. I.
SOMETIMES DEBRIEF STATE AGENCIES
AFTER BILLS AND IF I DE BRIEF
AFTER THIS BILL WILL. SAY HERE'S
WHAT I HEARD. BECAUSE I. IT I
KNOW THAT WHEN I WAS AN
ADMINISTRATOR WE FACE THIS ALL
THE TIME AND WE HAD DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT THE NEW RESOURCES BUILDING
BECAUSE- I DIDN'T GET THE
BENEFIT OF EVER BEING IN IT BUT
I HAD THE- TOIL OF HAVING TO
PLANET. AND WE HAD DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT PRECISELY THIS BECAUSE
THAT IS. A TOP OF THE LINE WE
BILL BUT SHOULD REPORT THE GOOD
NEWS IS WE HAVE PLENTY OF LEVEL
TWO CHARGERS AT THIS POINT TIME.
BUT JUST WEST EVERYTHING THAT.
YEAH I'M I'M GONNA LOOK INTO THE
APPEAL PROCESS BUT I CAN SAY
THAT IF YOU GO ON THE- TGS
WEBSITE AND TYPE IN LEED
CERTIFIED BUILDINGS I'M PROUD TO
SAY THAT IN MY TIME IN THE
FIELD. I WORKED ON THE FRANCHISE
TAX BOARD. BUILDING AND LEAD-
THE CREW OF TWENTY FIVE GLAZERS
AND I AM WORKERS ON THAT
BUILDING. ONE OF WHICH OF THOSE
THREE ACHIEVE LEED SILVER AND
BECAUSE OF MODIFICATIONS MADE

MORNING EVERYONE MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS I'M HERE TO PRESENT A
SENATE BILL FOR THIRTY FIVE
WHICH WILL TAKE THE NECESSARY
FIRST STEP TO UNCOVER TRENDS AND
POTENTIAL DISPARITIES THAT ARE
OFTEN HIDDEN IN AGGREGATED
HEALTH DATA INFORMATION FOR
LATINOS AND INDIGENOUS MISSILE
AMERICANS. AT THE NOSE MAKE UP
40% OF CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION
HOWEVER WITHIN THE LATINO
COMMUNITY THERE ARE SEVERAL
ETHNIC SUBGROUPS THAT HAVE
DIVERSE HEALTH OUTCOMES THE
NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY
FOUND THAT PORTER RICAN
AMERICANS HAVE ACTUALLY HAVE A
HIGHER PREVALENCE OF ASTHMA. IN
THE UNITED STATES MAINLAND AT
16% COMPARED TO MEXICANS THAT
HAVE A LOWER PERCENTAGE OF
PREVALENCE AT FIVE POINT 4%
THESE TO SIX DISTINCTIONS HIDE
IN THE MONOLITHIC TERM OF
LATINO. SO ODD AND WE ALSO KNOW
THAT DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE
PANDEMIC. INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
COULD NOT ACCESS TIMELY AND
RELIABLE INFORMATION TO ACCESS
VACCINES IN CALIFORNIA AND
SUFFERED UNFORTUNATELY A HIGHER
DEATH RATE AS A RESULT. SO AS
BEFORE THIRTY FIVE WILL DO THAT
A FEW THINGS WILL ADDRESS THE
SHORTCOMINGS BY REQUIRING THAT
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE
SERVICES DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES DEPARTMENT OF AGING AND
HEALTH CARE ACCESS INFORMATION
WILL COLLECT AND RELEASE
DISAGGREGATED DATA FOR SPECIFIED
CUTTING ALL SUBGROUPS. IT WILL
ALSO ENSURE THAT HEALTH DATA
COLLECTED BY THE STATE REFLECTS
THE DIVERSITY OF VARIOUS
SUBGROUPS WITHIN THESE
POPULATIONS. TESTIFYING IN
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE TODAY I
HAVE MARVELOUS WITH THE LATINO
COALITION FOR HEALTHY
CALIFORNIA. AND WHO HAD YOU CAN
YEAH MOLESTIA FROM CENTRAL BE
NICE TO NOT ABOUT I LOVE THIS
EDITORIAL IN THE HANNAH HOW CAN
YOU. THAT C. B. D. I. O. THAT
THAT- WILL COME AND TOUCH. IN
SUPPORT OF SB FOUR THIRTY FIVE
AND I ASK YOU FOR YOUR AYE THOSE
RESPECTFULLY. WELL NOW MOVES TO
LEAD. SUPPORTED MORE. GOOD
MORNING. AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS NOT A VALID
DIRECTOR OF POLICY WITH THAT THE
COALITION FOR HEALTHY. I'LL SEE
IS A PART SPONSOR OF SB THIRTY.
AUTHORED BY SENATOR LINDA
GONZALEZ WHICH WILL COLLECT AND
DISAGGREGATE ANONYMOUS
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA. AND LANGUAGE
DATA FOR THAT NEXT UP GROUPS AND
INDIGENOUS MEN'S AMERICANS.
THAT'S AMERICANS IN CALIFORNIA.
THE GOAL OF S. B. AT FOUR THIRTY
FIVE IS TO UNCOVER AND REDUCE
UNDERLYING HEALTH DISPARITIES.
BOTH CLINICAL AND THOSE RELATED
TO THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF
HEALTH SUCH AS HOUSING. FOR LIVE
NEXT AN INDIGENOUS NATIONS IN
CALIFORNIA. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT
MORE SPECIFIC HIGH QUALITY
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA IS BENEFICIAL
TO ADDRESS AND EFFECTIVELY MEET
THE HEALTH NEEDS OF DIVERSE
POPULATIONS. DURING THE PANDEMIC
LATINOS WERE DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTED BY COVERED NINETEEN WE
ARE ONE POINT SEVEN TIMES MORE
LIKELY TO CONTRACT COBIT. AND
TWO POINT EIGHT TIMES MORE
LIKELY TO DIE FROM THE VIRUS. WE
NOW KNOW THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE
UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
ARE THE MOST AT RISK FOR SERIOUS
COMPLICATIONS. AND LET THE LAWS
ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE MULTIPLE
CHRONIC CONDITIONS LIKE ASTHMA
DIABETES. MORE SPECIFIC DATA
COULD ALLOW PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS
TO PROVIDE CULTURALLY COMPETENT
AND RESPONSIVE INFORMATION AND
CARE. TO ADDRESS THESE
DISPARITIES. AND CAL MUST ALSO
START COLLECTING. DAY FOR
INDIGENOUS MUSLIM NATIONS IN
CALIFORNIA WHO SPEAK MORE THAN
FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY LANGUAGES AND
DIALECTS. DURING THE PANDEMIC
INDIGENOUS MOST AMERICANS WERE
ALSO DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED
BUT CALIFORNIA DOES NOT
CURRENTLY COLLECTED FOR THIS
POPULATION. AND DID IT
INDIGENOUS MOST AMERICANS
NATION'S ALSO FACED LANGUAGE
BARRIERS TO ACCESS TIMELY AND
RELIABLE INFORMATION. SUCH AS
UNCOVERED IN CALIFORNIA MUST
START COLLECTING DATA AND AS
AMERICAN DIGI'S LANGUAGES TO
UNDERSTAND THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF
THESE COMMUNITIES. TO EQUITABLY
ACCESS AND UTILIZE HEALTHCARE
PROGRAM SOCIAL SERVICES AND
OTHER RESOURCES. AND LASTLY AS A
SENATOR STATED LATINOS ARE NOT A
MONOLITH WE ARE DIVERSE IN TERMS
OF NATIONAL ORIGIN RACE CULTURE
LANGUAGE AND OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC
FACTORS. AND I THINK THAT IS NOT
ALL ENCOMPASSING AND OFTEN
EMBRACES INDIGENOUS IDENTITY. AS
BEFORE THIRTY FIVE HIGHLIGHTS
AND BRINGS AWARENESS TO OUR
UNIQUE AND DIVERSE DIFFERENCES
AND ENSURES HEALTH EQUITY FOR
INDIGENOUS AND HAPPINESS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR OUR VOTE

DESPITE ALL THIS RAIN LATELY WE
ALL KNOW JUST HOW DEVASTATING
WILDFIRES HAVE BEEN TO LIFE AND
PROPERTY OF THOUSANDS OF
CALIFORNIA. CALIFORNIA AND SKEWS
ME ED WHILE THE RAIN IS NEEDED
WE ALSO KNOW THAT IS BRINGING
LIFE BACK TO THE FUEL OF THE
FUTURE FIRES WHAT I BECAME CHAIR
OF THIS COMMITTEE BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN I HAD NO IDEA
WHAT THE MOST CATASTROPHIC
WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA HISTORY
WE'RE ABOUT TO IGNITE. FOR
EXAMPLE THE OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
FIRESTORM BURNED AT LEAST TWO
HUNDRED FORTY FIVE THOUSAND
ACRES IN AND AROUND MY DISTRICT
THESE WILDFIRES WERE THE
COSTLIEST GREUBEL WILDFIRES ON
RECORD AT THE TIME CAUSING ABOUT
FOURTEEN POINT FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS IN DAMAGES. THEN THE
FOLLOWING YEAR THE CAMPFIRE
BECAME THE DEADLIEST IN MOST
DESTRUCTIVE WILDFIRE IN
CALIFORNIA HISTORY AND THE MOST
EXPENSIVE NATURAL DISASTER. IN
THE WORLD. IN TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN. IT WAS CLEAR THAT WE
HAD TO ACT AND WE DID. THIS
HEARING IS INTENDED TO LOOK BACK
AT POLICIES AND BUDGET
AUGMENTATIONS THAT HAVE SINCE
BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS THIS NEW
NORMAL AS THE CLIMATE CONTINUES
TO CHANGE. AND FIRES RAGE.
EXAMPLES INCLUDE MY S. B. TWO OH
NINE ESTABLISHING THE WILDFIRE
FORECASTS AND THREAT
INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION CENTER.
WE SHOULD HAVE AN ACRONYM FOR
THAT FRANKLY. IS MUCH AS WE HATE
OF THE ACRONYMS I END S. B. ONE
OH NINE ESTABLISHING CAL FIRES
OFFICE OF WILDFIRE TECHNOLOGY
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. I LOOK
FORWARD TO HEARING ABOUT THEIR
IMPLEMENTATION BODY TODAY.
ADDITIONALLY GAPS IN OUR
ALERTING SYSTEM WERE EXPOSED IN
LEGISLATORS GOT TO WORK WITH
STAKEHOLDERS AND THE PUBLIC TO
ADDRESS IDENTIFIED NEEDS. I LOOK
FORWARD TO HEARING MORE ABOUT
THAT WORK AS WELL AS WE CONTINUE
TO WORK FOR THE PAST TO BETTER
ADDRESS. THE EVOLVING WILDFIRE
ENVIRONMENT. I LIKE NOW TO
INVITE OUR VICE CHAIR. SENATOR
WILK IF HE WAS HERE- TO MAKE
SOME REMARKS WILL ALLOW HIM TO
DO THAT- YEAH AB LABOR TIME- SO-
THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY
SENATORS WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A
COMMENT BEFORE WE START THIS
HEARING. C. NONE. SO WE'LL HEAR
FROM THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES IN CAL FIRE.
COME ON UP. NO. GET RIGHT. SO WE
HAVE A LITTLE SNAFU HERE THE
FIRST PANELS LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE. SORRY ABOUT
THAT. WE WILL BUDGET. I WOULD
NEVER THROW MYSELF UNDER THE BUS
. BUT THE.
MAYBE THIS THAT WORK THERE YEP.
OKAY GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN BIRDS OF THE
COMMITTEE OF APPRECIATE YOU
HAVING US TODAY MY NAME IS JARED
SIPPEL IN WITH THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST OFFICE- WE PREPARE TO
HAND OUT FOR YOU TODAY-
HOPEFULLY YOU ALL HAVE IT IN
YOUR MATERIALS IF NOT I THINK
THE SERGEANT MAY HAVE A COUPLE
OF EXTRA. COPIES AVAILABLE FOR
YOU- ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE ARE
LISTENING IN- FROM YOUR HOME OR
OFFICE IT'S ALSO AVAILABLE ON
THE COMMITTEE WEBSITE AS WELL AS
THE ELLIE A WEBSITE. TO JUST
GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW TODAY
OF KIND OF WHAT MY REMARKS WILL
BE- WE WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE
SOME HIGH LEVEL CONTEXT ON A FEW
DIFFERENT TOPICS INCLUDING THE
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF
DIFFERENT STATE AGENCIES AND
WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS AND
RESPONSE. SOME OF THE ALLERGIC
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEMS THAT ARE
USED TO ALERT THE PUBLIC IN THE
EVENT OF A WILDFIRE- SOME OF THE
RECENT- WILDFIRE RELATED
TECHNOLOGY AND OTHER
COMMUNICATION. OVERVIEW OF ONE
OF THOSE AUGMENTATIONS ON THE
WILDFIRE FORECASTS AND THREAT
INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION CENTER
WHICH THEY DO REFER TO IT AS
WITH TECH OF FOR TO. HELP WITH
BERKELEY- AND SO WITH THAT- I
WILL TURN TO PAGE ONE ON ON THE
HAND OUT. AND I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO NOTE AT THE START
THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT STATE AGENCIES THAT
HAVE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
AND WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS AND
RESPONSE. FOR THE PURPOSES OF
THIS HANDOUT WE FOCUS ON JUST A
FEW THAT ARE PARTICULARLY
RELEVANT TO TODAY'S HEARING. SO
THE FIRST ONE THAT WE HIGHLIGHT
IS- YES WHICH- YES OFTEN REFERS
TO ITSELF KIND OF ITS AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROL IN THE EVENT OF
AN EMERGENCY OR DISASTER REALLY
MAKING SURE THAT THE RIGHT STATE
AGENCIES. AND THE RIGHT PEOPLE
IN THE RIGHT ASSETS OR IN IN IN
IN PLACE TO RESPOND TO AND
PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES- THEY
ALSO OPERATE OF MANY OF THE
COMMUNICATIONS AN ALERT SYSTEM
SUCH AS THE STATE WARNING
CENTER. AS WELL AS THE NEXT
GENERATION NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM.
WE ALSO HIGHLIGHT CAL FIRE WHICH
IS THE MAIN STATE ENTITY
INVOLVED EMPIRE RESPONSE AND
PROTECTING STATE RESPONSIBILITY
WILDLAND AREAS AS WELL AS
IMPLEMENTING A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT WILDFIRE RELATED
TECHNOLOGIES AND RESEARCH. AND
THEN FINALLY WE NOTE A FEW OF
THE OTHER AGENCIES SUCH AS THE
CALIFORNIA MILITARY DEPARTMENT
WHICH HELPS COMBAT LARGE
WILDFIRES AS WELL AS THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC. UTILITIES
COMMISSION WHICH HAS VARIOUS
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND
REDUCING THE ROLE OF UTILITIES
AND CAUSING WILDFIRES. AS WELL
AS PROTECTING CONSUMERS AND
PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIALS IN THE
EVENT OF ONE. I'LL THEN MOVE ON
TO PAGE TWO OF OUR HAND OUT- IN
THE EVENT OF A WILDFIRE OR OTHER
EMERGENCIES OR DISASTERS THERE
ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT- TYPES OF
ALERT SYSTEMS THAT FEDERAL.
STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS USED
TO ALERT PEOPLE WHO MAY BE
IMPACTED. THE FIRST ONE THAT WE
HIGHLIGHT IS THE- WIRELESS
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM SO THIS
IS ONE IN WHICH LOCAL. OUR
PUBLIC STATE. OFFICIALS CAN
PINPOINT A GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND
ANYONE IN THAT AREA WOULD
RECEIVE A TEXT LIKE MESSAGE.
ALERTING THEM OF THE POTENTIAL
EMERGENCIES SO I IMAGINE MOST IF
NOT ALL PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM HAVE
RECEIVED- ONE OF THESE TYPES OF
MESSAGES IF YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED
AN AMBER ALERT AND YOU GET THAT
SHORT MESSAGE. WITH THE
ACCOMPANYING TONE AND VIBRATION
THAT WAS MOST LIKELY SENT WITH
THE WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERT
SYSTEM. WE ALSO HIGHLIGHT SOME
OF THE US SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
ALERTS SERVICES WHERE. PEOPLE
WOULD SIGN UP FOR ALERTS AND
OTHER NOTIFICATIONS FROM THEIR
OF LOCAL OR REGIONAL PUBLIC
SAFETY AGENCY WEBSITES. THEY
WOULD PROVIDE THEIR INFORMATION
CONTACT INFORMATION AND IDENTIFY
AREAS OF A REAL ADDRESS OF
INTEREST SO THIS COULD BE THEIR
HOME OF THEIR WORK OR THEIR
CHILD'S SCHOOL ADDRESS. AND IN
THE EVENT THAT AN EMERGENCY OR
WILDFIRES MAY IMPACT ONE OF
THOSE ADDRESSES THEY WOULD
SIMILARLY. RECEIVED A
NOTIFICATION AFTER PREFERRED
CONTACT INFORMATION. AND THEN
MOVING ON TO PAGE THREE OF OUR
HAND OUT. IN RESPONSE TO THE
SEVERE WILDFIRES IN THE TWENTY
SEVENTEEN TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND
TWENTY TWENTY WILDFIRE SEASONS
THE LEGISLATURE HAS MADE A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT.
AUGMENTATIONS RELATED TO
WILDFIRE- TECHNOLOGY AND
COMMUNICATIONS- AND SO WE I
WON'T GET INTO ALL OF THEM ON
THIS PARTICULAR PAGE BUT I MIGHT
JUST HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THEM.
SO ON THE TECHNOLOGY SITES ONE
OF THE MORE MAJOR AUGMENTATIONS
INCLUDES THE FIRE INTEGRATED
REAL TIME INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM OR
VIRUS FOR SHORT. THAT ONE
PROVIDES FUNDING TO SUPPORT
AIRCRAFT THAT HAVE SPECIALIZED
CAMERAS BETTER DEPLOYED AND THEY
GO UP IN THE CAP CAPTURE VARIOUS
IMAGERY AND OTHER VIDEO WHICH
CAN THEN BE USED- FOR NEAR TIME
FIRE MODELING. WE ALSO ON THE
COMMUNICATIONS SIDE HIGHLIGHT A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SYSTEMS TO
ENSURE THAT PUBLIC SAFETY
AGENCIES CAN REMAIN IN CONTACT
BOTH WITH EACH OTHER AS WELL AS
THE GENERAL PUBLIC INCLUDING THE
NEXT GENERATION NINE ONE ONE
SYSTEM. WHICH THE AUGMENTATIONS
ARE CURRENTLY TRANSITIONING THAT
FROM AN ANALOG TO AJIT DIGITAL
ONE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE
RESILIENCY AND REDUNDANCY. WE
SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THE
GOVERNOR DOES HAVE A TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR BUDGET
PROPOSAL FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM AS WELL AS
THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SAFETY
MARK RELIEF NETWORK. WHICH WOULD
COMPLETE THE BUILD OUT OF THOSE
SYSTEMS AS WELL AS SUPPORT
ONGOING MAINTENANCE AND
OPERATION COST. AND THEN I'LL
JUST MOVE TO THE LAST PAGE WHICH
GIVES A- BRIEF OVERVIEW OF ONE
OF THE AUGMENTATIONS THAT WE
MENTIONED ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE
WHICH IS THE U. WILDFIRE
FORECASTS AND THREAT
INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION CENTER.
SO AS THE TEACHER MENTIONED THIS
WAS ESTABLISHED BY S. B. TWO OH
NINE IT WAS JOINTLY ESTABLISHED
BY O. S. N. CAL FIRE AND
INCLUDES A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
AGENCIES WHICH INCLUDE INTENDED
TO COLLECT ASSESS. AND ANALYZE
FOR INDICATORS FIRE RELATED
INTELLIGENCE AS WELL AS
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS- YES
CALIFORNIA AND THE OTHER
AGENCIES ARE IN THE PROCESS OF
STAFFING IN STANDING UP THAT
CENTER. AND STARTING TO PULL
DATA FROM MARIAH A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT DATA SOURCES TO
PRODUCE A DAILY INTELLIGENCE
PRODUCT WHICH IS PUSHED OUT. TO
PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES AS WELL
AS IS AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL
PUBLIC ON THE CENTER'S WEBSITE.
SO WELL WITH THAT I WANTED TO
KEEP OUR REMARKS SHORT- BUT
WE'RE HAPPY MY COLLEAGUES AND I
ARE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. AB ANY AT THIS
TIME FOR MANY OF THE MEMBERS.
YES THANK YOU FOR THE BRIEF AND
BULLETED PRESENTATION- I HAVE A
QUESTION- ON FROM PAGE ONE-
AROUND CAL FIRE AND- THE
RESPONSE. CAN YOU TELL ME A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW CAL FIRE
INTERACTS WITH LOCAL AND FEDERAL
AGENCIES AB WHEN A WILDFIRE DOES
NOT BEGIN ON STATE LANDS. I'M SO
AND I WOULD POINT OUT ON THE
DEPARTMENT IS ACTUALLY ALSO HERE
SO THEY MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A
MORE DETAILED RESPONSE IN TERMS
OF HOW THEY INTEGRATE- BUT I
THINK OFTEN IT'S- IT'S REALLY
SORT OF GROUND UP RIGHT LIKE IF
THERE'S A- IF THERE'S A FIRE
USUALLY IT'S LOCALS WHO WERE
FIRST ON THE SCENE RIGHT SO
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE. GROUND
ZERO FOR SEEING THIS AND SEEING
THE FIRE RESPONDING TO THE FIRE
AND THEN THEY USUALLY IF IT'S
YOU KNOW WILL SORT OF ELEVATED.
TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY NEED
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT- AND SO THAT
COULD GO THEN AND YOU KNOW TO
SUPPORT YOU KNOW ULTIMATELY CAL
FIRE. ON MAY COME YOU KNOW IF A
LOCAL AGENCY NEED SUPPORT ALSO
OBVIOUSLY IF IT'S ON FEDERAL
LAND THERE'S YOU KNOW MANY OF
THESE WILDFIRES ARE IN FEDERAL
LAND AND SO THEN THAT THE
PRIMARY RESPONSE AGENCY. WOULD
BE- WOULD BE THE U. S. FOREST
SERVICE RATHER THAN CAL FIRE BUT
AGAIN OFTEN TELL FARE COMES IN
TO SUPPORT THOSE AGENCIES
BECAUSE IT'S REALLY KIND OF A
ONE FIGHT. AND SO THERE'S A
THINK A BIG EMPHASIS ON. ALL THE
DIFFERENT ENTITIES INVOLVED
WORKING TOGETHER- TO TRY TO MEET
THAT END GOAL OF MAKING SURE
THAT WE- ADDRESS WILD FIRES- AS
NEEDED. SO IN IN THE
CIRCUMSTANCE OF A OF THE U. S.
FOREST SERVICE SO WHO TAKES THE
LEAD ROLE SO HOW DOES THAT
DETERMINED. SO I THINK GENERALLY
THEY WOULD TAKE YOU KNOW THEY
WOULD BE THE INITIATE YOU KNOW
THE DENNIS SO LEAD ROLE- BUT
THEN THEY DO HAVE AN INTEGRATED-
YOU KNOW THAT THE STATE THIS IS
SORT OF THAT THE EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. DOES
ULTIMATELY CREATE SORT OF A ONE-
YOU KNOW THERE'S ONE. THE
ESSENTIALLY ONE ENTITY THAT WILL
TAKE CONTROL AND WILL WILL HAVE
OTHER ENTITIES POTENTIALLY WERE
ACTING WITHOUT- AGAIN THE
DEPARTMENT CAN PROBABLY PROVIDE
MORE DETAILED RESPONSE ON
EXACTLY HOW THEY MANAGE THOSE
ROLES RESPONSIBILITIES BUT- BUT
AGAIN I THINK. IF IT'S A FEDERAL
FEDERAL ON FEDERAL LAND THE
THINK OFTEN THAT THE FOR THE U.
S. FOREST SERVICE WOULD BE THAT
INITIAL- ENTITY AND WOULD OFTEN
BE. BE IN CHARGE OF THAT
RESPONSE. THANK CENTER ANYBODY
ELSE. I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS
I CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE SEVENTY
EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE-
PUBLIC SAFETY MICROWAVE
MICROWAVE NETWORK. DO WE KNOW
HOW THE UPGRADE FROM THE ANALOG
SYSTEM IT TO THE DIGITAL WHICH
YOU REFERENCED HOW THAT'S GOING
RIGHT NOW.
SO FOR THAT PARTICULAR FOR THIS
IS FOR THE- OF CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
SAFETY MICROWAVE NETWORK- SO
THAT ONE IS IN THE PROCESS OF
BEING AS I MENTIONED UPDATED AND
IT IS- MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT
IT IS SUPPOSED TO THIS THIS
LAST. AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT'S
BEING PROPOSED AS PART OF THE
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR BUDGET WILL COMPLETE THE
BUILD OUT OF THAT SYSTEM AND
THEN IT'LL BE AND KIND OF
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MODE-
FROM THAT POINT TIME AFTERWARDS.
I THANK YOU AND THEN CAN YOU
TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE
FUNDING THE LEGISLATURE IS
DEDICATED TO THE WILDFIRE
CAMERAS. AND WHAT THE CURRENT
STATUS OF THE STATE'S WILDFIRE
CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM IS.
THAT THE DEPARTMENT MAY BE ABLE
TO BETTER OF UNDER- GIVE SOME
OVERVIEW OF KIND OF WHAT THE
STATUS OF THOSE FIRE DETECTION
CAMERAS ARE ABOUT I AND MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
REMARKS- YEAH I DON'T THINK WE
HAVE. THE MOST UPDATED
INFORMATION ON THAT I UNDERSTAND
IT IS YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE
BEEN WORKING ON THAT THERE WAS
MONEY THAT WAS PROVIDED YOU KNOW
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND I
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S BE A
BEING IMPLEMENTED BUT I THINK
THEY MAY. BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
MORE SPECIFIC ON EXACTLY WHERE
THEY ARE WHICH IS JUST DO WE
NEED TO INVEST MORE MONEY IN
INSTALLING MORE CAMERAS TO CELLS
LIKE THAT MIGHT BE. A BETTER
QUESTION FOR THEM AS WELL. YEAH
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ALSO TO
THINK ABOUT BOTH THE CAMERAS
THAT THE STATE HAS IS A WELL AS
WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE UTILITY
SIDE AND LOOK AT THE WHOLE
SYSTEM BUT- I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT'S- THAT ALSO THE
STATE HAS FOCUSED ON IN RECENT
YEARS AND THE LEGISLATURE IS
FOCUSED ON IS TRYING TO GET
INFORMATION ON HOW ALL THE
SYSTEMS WHAT CAL FIRE HAS. WITH
UTILITIES HAVE- WHAT ALSO OTHER
DEPARTMENTS ARE DOING HOW THEY
ALL INTEGRATE BUT CERTAINLY WE
THINK ON THE DEPARTMENTS WOULD
BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A GOOD UPDATE
ON WHERE THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY
THINK THE GAPS ARE- THE- THE
ONLY THING WE WOULD NOTE IS THAT
A WE DO THINK- AS PART OF THE
TWENTY TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE.
OF THERE IS BUDGET BUT A BUDGET
THERE IS BUDGET BILL LANGUAGE
THAT WOULD REQUIRE- YES- TO
PROVIDE A STRATEGIC PLAN. AND
PART OF THAT IS SUPPOSED TO
INCLUDE THINGS SUCH AS A
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT.
CURRENT RESOURCE IT HASN'T HAS
FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE AS WELL
AS RESOURCES FOR OTHER KEY STATE
ENTITIES SUCH AS CAL FIRE. AS
WELL AS THE CALIFORNIA MILITARY
DEPARTMENT. AND THAT'S INTENDED
BOTH TO GIVE THAT KIND OF
DETAILED DESCRIPTION FOR THE
RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE.
ESTABLISHED KIND OF GOALS AN
OBJECT AND THEN OBJECTIVES FOR
ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS AND THEN
IDENTIFYING GAPS AND CURRENT
RESOURCES AND THEN A PLAN FOR
CLOSING THOSE GAPS. AND SO WE
THINK THAT WILL BE VERY- HELPFUL
TO THE LEGISLATURE ONCE THAT'S
AVAILABLE IN JANUARY OF NEXT
YEAR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND
FINALLY CAN YOU TALK MORE ABOUT
THE FOUR MILLION DOLLARS IN
TWENTY TWENTY AND THE SEVEN
MILLION. ON GOING. FOR TWENTY
FOUR POSITIONS TO IMPLEMENT THE
TECHNO SOLVA. FIRE CMN FIRE CATS
WILDFIRE FORECASTING
TECHNOLOGIES. I'M THANKS THANKS
FOR THE QUESTION. YES AGAIN I
THINK THE DEPARTMENT MIGHT BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE DETAIL- ARE
YOU'RE STANDING WAS THAT THEY
WERE IN THE MIDST OF. OF
IMPLEMENTING THAT AS LAST WE
SPOKE- BUT AGAIN I THINK THEY
MIGHT HAVE MORE DETAILS. VERY
GOOD- I THINK THAT CONCLUDES
CENTER. IN THE- I'M SORRY CENTER
ROUGHLY THANK YOU MISTER FISHER
I'M JUST CURIOUS YOU MENTIONED
MILITARY DEPARTMENT I'M LOOKING
AT FOR INTEGRATED. REAL TIME
INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM ARE WE STILL
ABLE TO ACCESS AND FULLY UTILIZE
THE- CALIFORNIA MILITARY
DEPARTMENT AND NATIONAL GUARDS.
REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT
SYSTEMS. FOR FIRE MONITORING IN
INTELLIGENCE GATHERING IN THESE
BIG FIRES. THERE WERE ISSUES IN
THE PAST MY UNDERSTANDING IS
THAT WE ARE ACCESSING THAT THAT
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS THAT
SOMETIMES THERE'S A DELAY IN
GETTING THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE
THEIR NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS
AND SO SOMETIMES IT'S NOT QUITE
AS REAL TIME AS SOME OF THE
OTHER SOURCES. I'M WHICH IS ONE
OF THE REASONS WHY THERE IS THAT
VIRUS SYSTEM WAS- WAS PROPOSED
BECAUSE THERE WE DO HAVE WE HAVE
A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT
TECHNOLOGIES RIGHT WE HAVE THE
VIRUS YOU KNOW THAT THE- THE-
AIRPLANES ARE GOING IN. TO THE
FIRE SYSTEM WE HAVE AS YOU SAY
GREAT INTELLIGENCE FROM THE
MILITARY THAT- MY UNDERSTANDING
IS THE STATE IS ACCESSING- OR
HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS. AND
THEN WE ALSO HAVE OTHER WE HAVE
THE CAMERAS WE HAVE A WHOLE HOST
OF THESE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY
SOLUTIONS. SO I THINK IT'S
REALLY AGAIN ONE OF THESE
CRITICAL QUESTIONS IS- GIVEN
THAT WE HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT
TECHNOLOGIES WHAT GAPS REMAIN-
AND THAT'S I THINK WHY THIS
REPORT WILL BE SO HELPFUL
HOPEFULLY. I'M COMING NEXT YEAR
TO LOOK AT THAT- BOTH IN
TECHNOLOGY AS WELL AS IN OTHER
THINGS AND THEN ALSO AS WITH I
THINK- ALSO REFERENCED IN OUR
HAND OUT AND IN YOUR MATERIALS.
THAT YOU KNOW CAL FIRE HAS THIS
RESEARCH- ARM NOW- PURSUANT TO
IT TO LEGISLATION- THAT THAT I
KNOW IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MANY
HERE- THAT IS ALSO REALLY GOING
TO I THINK BE VERY IMPORTANT IN
LOOKING AT ALL THESE
TECHNOLOGIES AND REALLY VETTING
THEM AND FIGURING OUT HOW
THEY'LL PLAY AND BECAUSE THE
MILITARY IS. IS A VERY VALUABLE
SOURCE RIGHT THAT'S THAT'S-
THERE AND- MY UNDERSTANDING IS
HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL WELL AND I
GUESS MY QUESTION THEN IS- AS WE
MOVE AHEAD. WILL THE L. A. O. OR
WILL SOMEONE. ELSE IN REPORT
FORM. BE DOING A COST NELLIS OF
THE- TYPES OF PLATFORMS THAT WE
YOU. FOR THIS INTEL- I'M I MEAN
I'M A PILOT SO I OBVIOUSLY LIKE
PILOTS AND SUPPORTER PLANES.
THERE PROBABLY IS A DIFFERENCE
IN COST AND LATER TIME IN THE
ABILITY TO. ACCESS DATA OVER
LONG PERIODS OF TIME. BETWEEN A
PILOTED AIRCRAFT IN A REMOTELY
PILOTED TO THE SYSTEM THAT. HAS
LAWYER TIME OF HOURS AND HOURS
AND WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HAVE
THAT- COST ANALYSIS TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE USING. THE ASSETS THAT ARE
AVAILABLE IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE
AND EFFICIENT WAY- YEAH AND
AGAIN I THINK- ONE OF THE
REPORTS THAT THE DEPARTMENTS ARE
IT. SUPPOSED TO DO IS SUPPOSED
TO PROVIDE SOME OF THAT COST
BENEFIT SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL
INCLUDE SOME USEFUL INFORMATION
THERE BUT I THINK OUR OFFICE.
THAT IS ALWAYS- SOMETHING OUR
OFFICES- IS VERY FOCUSED ON IT'S
A BIG BIG PRIORITY IN AS WE LOOK
AT BUDGET CHANGE PROPOSALS AS
WELL AS AS WE DO OUR OTHER WORK-
WE'RE ALWAYS VERY FOCUSED ON.
THAT AS WELL AS OTHER
PRIORITIES- BUT CERTAINLY
LOOKING AT THOSE THINGS AND
THAT'S THE QUESTIONS WE ASKED
WHEN WE WERE VIEWING FOR EXAMPLE
THAT THE FIRE IS PROPOSAL SOME
OF THE ISSUES THAT WE RAISED.
YOU KNOW WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT
THAT IS HOW DID IT HOW DO YOU
KNOW WHAT IS IT WHAT IS THE COST
BENEFIT RELATIVE TO SOME OF THE
OTHER. POTENTIAL TECHNOLOGY SO.
I THINK THAT THAT POINT IS RIGHT
RIGHT ON AND I THINK WE'LL HAVE
TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT
ISSUE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOCUSING AGAIN. THERE'S A
QUESTION. OF BURKE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYSTS OFFICE JUST OUT ON REAL
QUICK TO THAT- TO PROVIDE A
LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ON
THAT REPORTS THAT WILL BE
FORTHCOMING THERE IS THE- GAP
ANALYSIS THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT
EARLIER. IN ADDITION THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IS
SUPPOSED TO DO SORT OF A BASS
LINE REVIEW OF DEPARTMENTS
BUDGETS TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT
THE CURRENT. LEVEL OF FUNDING IS
CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S NEEDED TO
ADDRESS THE GAPS OR IF ANY
FUNDING NEEDS TO BE RE
ALLOCATED. SO ITS POTENTIAL
THERE'S A POTENTIAL THAT WE GET
SOME INSIGHT. INTO WHETHER OR
NOT- FOR. WE HAVE BUDGETED FOR
CERTAIN PURPOSES NOW NAY TO BE
RE. TO OTHER PURPOSES AND HOW
BEST TO PRIORITIZE THAT FUNDING
. YEAH I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE
CENTER ROSS QUESTION THERE
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S GOING TO
BE. INCOME AT ALL THE L. A. OSAP
STICK. YEAH BUT IT'S A LITTLE
EARLY RIGHT NOW TO BE. THE ODD.
DETROIT MAKING ANY
DETERMINATIONS WHETHER- THE
SYSTEMS ARE WORKING OR NOT
WORKING OR WHAT'S BEEN. BECAUSE
IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH TIME SO-
THIS WHOLE. HEARING IS THE
RESULT OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY
STANDARDS ARE PROTEST- IS. YOU
KNOW PUT FOR EACH OF OUR-
COMMITTEES- TO REALLY DO THE-
ACCOUNTABILITY- STANDARDS IF YOU
WILL OF. YOU KNOW WHAT. IF OUR
EXPECTATIONS OF THE MET THROUGH
LEGISLATION AND- IT BUDGET SO I
REALLY. APPRECIATE THREE OF YOU
BEING HERE THIS MORNING. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR. YOUR TIME AND
INFORMATION THAT YOU GAVE US
TODAY. THANK YOU. RIGHT NOW. I
GIVE A FIRE DRILL THE LAST TIME
FOR A- MEMBERS THE CALIFORNIA
OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES A
CAL FIRE- REALLY APPRECIATE YOU
BEING HERE THIS MORNING. AND-
WELCOME A PLEASE- INTRODUCE
YOURSELF TO PROCEED THROUGH THE
AGENDA- WHEN YOU'RE READY. GOOD
MORNING. GOOD MORNING. EARNING
CHAIR VICE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS BRIAN
MARSHALL AND I AM THE CHIEF OF
HELLO YES FIRE AND RESCUE.
BRANCH I OVERSEE THE
COORDINATION OF THE STATE FIRE
AND RESCUE MUTUAL AID SYSTEM
WHICH MOVES LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
FIRE RESOURCES ACROSS THE STATE
IN SUPPORT OF ALL HAZARD
EMERGENCY RESPONSE. IT BENEFITS
LOCAL STATE FEDERAL AND TRIBAL
FIRE ORGANIZATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE
LAST YEAR'S FIRE SEASON. ROSA
NOT AS DEVASTATING AS WE'VE SEEN
IN THE PAST. AND WE DID NOT DURE
THE NUMEROUS LARGE CATASTROPHIC
FIRES THAT WE'VE PREVIOUSLY SEEN
. OUR BELIEF IS THAT WE CAN
CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE
INVESTMENTS WE'VE MADE IN THE
THREAT IDENTIFICATION.
REPOSITIONING. AND SUPPRESSION
TACTICS THIS DOES NOT MEAN
HOWEVER THAT WE'VE TURNED OUR
FOCUS AWAY FROM THE THREAT OF
WILDFIRES. HELLO YES IS BEEN
MAKING INVESTMENTS THAT INCLUDE
THE ENHANCEMENT OF REAL TIME.
ALL HAZARD SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
RECONNAISSANCE INTELLIGENCE AND
INFORMATION SHARING CAPABILITIES
THAT AMPLIFY AND ACCELERATE OUR
DECISION MAKING AT EVERY LEVEL.
WE ARE CONTINUING TO UTILIZE AND
DEVELOP VARIOUS TYPES OF
TECHNOLOGIES THAT WORK TO DETECT
AND ASSESS WILDFIRES AND OTHER
DISASTER RESPONSES. THE
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
COLLABORATION TOOL KNOWN AS
SCOUT PROVIDES AN INFIRMARY
INFORMATION SHARING ENVIRONMENT
TO FACILITATE OPERATIONAL AND
TACTICAL COLLABORATION AMONG
EMERGENCY RESPONDERS. AND THE
INTER AGENCY SITUATIONAL
AWARENESS FOR LOCAL TRIBAL STATE
AND FEDERAL PARTNERS NOT ONLY
FOR THAT EXTREME FIRES THAT EVEN
ON THE SMALL FIRES ON A DAY TO
DAY BASIS. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO
UTILIZE WITH GREAT SUCCESS THE
FIRE INTEGRATED REAL TIME
INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM ALSO KNOWN
AS VIRUS. THE FIRES AIRCRAFT
INCLUDE CUTTING EDGE SENSORS
THAT PROVIDE ENHANCED INCIDENT
AWARENESS REAL TIME FIRE
PERIMETER MAPS HI DEFINITION
COLOR AND INFRARED VIDEO AND
PHOTOS. CONTINUOUS WILDFIRE
SPREAD MODELING AND AN ALL
HAZARD INTEL AND SPECIFIC
INCIDENT MODELING. WE'VE
UTILIZED VIRUS TO QUICKLY
SUPPRESSED A NUMBER OF FIRES
THAT COULD HAVE PROVED EXTREMELY
HAZARDOUS TWO STRUCTURES IF
ALLOWED TO SPREAD. I WOULD LIKE
TO MAINLY FOCUS ON ONE OF OUR
NEWEST AND MOST EXCITING
CAPABILITIES WHICH IS THE WILD
FIRE FORECAST AND THREAT
INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION CENTER
. WHAT WE CALL WITH TECH. THE
WITH DICK WAS INITIATED THROUGH
THE PASSAGE OF S. B. TWO OH NINE
BY SENATOR DODD IN TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN. THE WITH DICK IS THE
FIRST OF ITS KIND CENTER IN THE
NATION MODELED AFTER THE
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER THE
WITH TICKETS STAFF WITH THE
EXPERTS IN WILDFIRE MODELING.
FIRE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
WEATHER FORECASTING AN
INTELLIGENCE GATHERING. THE WITH
THE WITH TECH PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES COVER THE ENTIRE
SPECTRUM. FROM GENERALIZE PUBLIC
INFORMATION TO COMPLEX DECISION
SUPPORT TOOLS FOR FIRE MANAGERS
AGENCY EXECUTIVES AND ELECTED
OFFICIALS. THE WITH TECH
COLLECTS ASSESSES AND ANALYZES
FIRE WEATHER DATA ATMOSPHERIC
CONDITIONS AND THREATS TO THE
PUBLIC AND OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
. THE WILL TAKE SERVES AS A
CENTRAL HUB FOR GATHERING
INFORMATION DISSEMINATING
INTELLIGENCE ON THE WILDFIRE
RISK AND HAZARDS AND IT SHARES
THAT DATA WITH OUR FEDERAL STATE
LOCAL AND TRIBAL PARTNERS. ARE
UTILITIES AND OTHER PUBLIC
SERVICE PROVIDERS ACADEMIC AND
SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS AND NON
GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS.
BUILDING ON WHAT IS ALREADY BEEN
ACCOMPLISHED AND THROUGH THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR- BETWEEN
WILDFIRE EXPERTS AND ACADEMIA
STRATEGIES WILL BE DEVELOPED. TO
STRENGTHEN OUR WILDFIRE IN
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND
RESPONSE STANDARDIZE
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND
ASSESSMENT IN THE HANDS
FORECASTING AN DETECTION
CAPABILITIES. M. AS ALWAYS
EXPAND PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AND
AWARENESS OF THE THREAT AND RISK
FROM WILDFIRES. THE WILL TAKE
WILL SERVE AS AN INTEGRATION HUB
FOR THE INFORMATION AND
INTELLIGENCE SHARING OBTAINED BY
SCOUT VIRUS AND CAL FIGHTERS
TECHNO SILVA TACTICAL ANALYST
TOOL AND OTHER SYSTEMS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY. BEING USED OR MAYBE
UNDER DEVELOPMENT. THE STATE
PARTNERS IN THE WITH TAKE
INCLUDE NOT ONLY THE OFFICE OF

CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION. AND THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE AND C. U. E. A-
THE STATE IS IMPLEMENTED THE
BASELINE FUNCTIONS OF THE WITH
TECH WHICH WENT LIVE ON JANUARY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY TWO. THE
WITH TAKE HAS LAUNCHED A WEB
HUB. FOR FIRE WEATHER
INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE HAVE IS
THAT FIRE FORECAST DOT CALLOW
YES DOT CA DOT GOV AND EACH DAY
PRODUCES A STATE WIDE WEEK AHEAD
FIRE THREAT POTENTIAL AND
WEATHER FORECASTS PRODUCT. THE
WEB HUB ALSO INCLUDES
INFORMATION ON RED FLAG WARNINGS
CURRENT ACTIVE FIRES THE THREAT

WITTIG AGENCIES DOING- KEY
FUTURE PARTNERS INCLUDING THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND THE
CALIFORNIA UTILITIES EMERGENCY
ASSOCIATION. MATT ON FEBRUARY
SEVENTEENTH OF THIS YEAR TO
DEVELOP THE STRATEGY FOR THE
NEXT PHASE OF IMPLEMENTATION. WE
WANT TO CONTINUE TO UPDATE OUR
WITH TEAR CUB WITH ACTIVE
INCIDENTS NOT ONLY HOURLY BUT
DAILY. PROVIDE WHETHER AN
INITIAL ATTACK WEATHER FEEDS
PRIOR TO THIS SUMMER. WE WANT TO
BE ABLE TO PRODUCE DATA FOR CAL
FIRE DISPATCH MAP VIEWER. FIRE
TO THIS SUMMER. WE ATE AN
AUTOMATED PRE POSITION FORM AND
MAPPING FUNCTIONS PRIOR TO THE
END OF THE YEAR. AND COMPLETE
OUR MO YOU BETWEEN OUR PRINCIPAL
STATE AGENCIES PRIOR TO THE END

PARTNERS INTO THE WITH TECH. THE
FOURTEENTH THE FORECAST LOOKS AS
THOUGH THE THREAT IN OUR WILD
FIRE OF OUR WILDFIRE INTERSTATE
WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS
TIME GOES ON I AM CONFIDENT THAT
THE TOOLS AND PROCEDURES AT OUR
DISPOSAL WE'LL BE ABLE TO MEET
THESE CHALLENGES. TO CREATE A
MORE RESILIENCE CALIFORNIA FOR
DECADES TO COME. THAT CONCLUDES
MY COMMENTS I THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU
TODAY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
HAVE THANK YOU UP WE'RE GONNA
SAY MOST THE QUESTIONS TO THE
END BUT CENTER WILL CAR VICE I'M
HERE AS WELL YEAH I JUST HAD A
QUICK QUESTION BECAUSE YOU'RE
JUST POWER THROUGH IT AND WANT
TO STOP THEIR MOMENTUM. I DON'T
KNOW ALL THE ACRONYMS WITH
PICKWICK TAKE WHAT WHAT IS THAT
WITH DEREK IS OUR WILDFIRE
THREAT INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION
CENTER. YOU KNOW CENTER LAYER IS
ON A MISSION TO ABOLISH ALL
ACTION. FORTUNATELY HE'S NOT ON
THIS COMMITTEES. THANK YOU I
FIGURE SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT I
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE ALL
RIGHT THANK YOU. THANK YOU NEXT
WEEK- POLICE. GOOD MORNING CHAIR
VICE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE HI MY NAME IS MARK
GREEN AND I'M THE- KELLO YES
EVERY DIRECTOR OF LOGISTICS. A
LOGISTICS DIRECTORATE INCLUDES
THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS
A TEAM WHICH SERVES THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA BUT BY PROVIDING
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS TO
THE STATE FIRST RESPONDERS.
OVERSIGHT OF THE NINE ONE ONE
SYSTEM AND OVERSIGHT OF THE NEW
NINE EIGHT EIGHT SYSTEM. THAT WE
HAVE HERE IN CALIFORNIA. I'D
LIKE TO TALK TODAY ABOUT OUR
STATE'S EMERGENCY ALERTING
SYSTEMS. THE SYSTEMS USED FOR
WIRELESSLY ALERTING THE PUBLIC
ABOUT A WILDFIRE VARIES AMONG
LOCAL AGENCIES. LOCAL AGENCIES
USE A VARIETY OF TECHNOLOGIES TO
SUPPORT WIRELESS ALERTS AND
COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF
THE FEMA INTEGRATED PUBLIC ALERT
AND WARNING SYSTEM ALSO KNOWN AS
I. PODS- HELLO YES HAS ALSO
PROVIDED AN ALERTING SYSTEM
OPTION FOR ALL LOCAL- LEARNING.
AUTHORITIES USING A DESIGNATED
VENDOR AT NO COST. THEIR CURRENT
ARE CURRENTLY TWENTY AGENCIES
THAT USE THE STATE SYSTEM WITH
ANOTHER FORTY THAT ARE IN THE
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS RIGHT NOW
. I'LL BRIEFLY WALK YOU THROUGH
HOW THE WIRELESS ALERT SYSTEM
WORKS FOR THE EMERGENCIES THAT
QUALIFY TO USE THE FEMA
INTEGRATED PUBLIC ALERT AND
WARNING SYSTEMS. FROM THE POINT
IN TIME OF FIRES REPORTED AND
HOW IT REACHES THE PUBLIC. WHO
ARE AT RISK THERE ARE A FEW
THINGS THAT HAPPENED FIRST IT'S
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND. THAT
THE I PAUSE INCLUDES THE
WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM.
IN THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM-
THE FIRST ONE IS MANIFEST ITSELF
IN A- MESSAGE THAT COMES FROM
YOUR CELL PHONE. AND THE SECOND
ONE MANIFESTS ITSELF IN THE-
EMERGENCY ALERT BROADCAST LIKE
YOU HEAR ON THE RADIO WITH THAT
ANNOYING SOUND WERE LIKE YOU MAY
SEE A BANNER GOING ACROSS THE
TOP OF YOUR TELEVISION.
TYPICALLY THE REPORTING BEGINS-
I'M SORRY IN SOME CASES AN
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM MORE WILL
ALSO BE SENT OUT- OVER BROADCAST
RADIO TV THESE TYPES OF ALERTS.
ARE SENT TO ALL THOSE AREAS OF
SELECTED TO RECEIVE THE ALERT
AND DO NOT REQUIRE ANYONE SIGN
UP OR OPT IN. OR SUBSCRIBE TO
THE ALERT SYSTEM. THERE ARE NO
REQUIREMENTS TO SIGN UP. THERE
IS ANOTHER GROUP OF ALERTS TO DO
REQUIRE USERS TO SIGN UP THESE
ALERTS ARE CONSIDERED TO IMPACT
THE PUBLIC BUT DO NOT RISE TO
THE LEVEL OF WE ARE. OR
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM AN
EXAMPLE MIGHT BE A ROAD CLOSURE
FOR A PARADE ROUTE. PUBLIC
SAFETY ALERTS ALSO INCLUDE THE
ABILITY TO ALERT WIRELINE
INVOICE USERS AND SENSE LOCATION
OF THESE USERS ARE KNOWN THEY DO
NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP TO RECEIVE
THESE ALERTS. SAYS LOCATION OF
WIRELESS USERS ARE NOT KNOWN
THEY HAVE TO SIGN UP TO RECEIVE
PUBLIC ALERTS THAT ARE NOT PART
OF THE EMERGENCY SYSTEM THAT
I'VE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE WE HAVE
SYSTEM IS THE ACTION THAT TOOK
PLACE ON SEPTEMBER SIXTH LAST
YEAR TWENTY TWENTY TWO. HELLO
YES SENT A WE ARE- WIRELESS
EMERGENCY AN- ALERT. TO THE
PUBLIC IN TWENTY SEVEN COUNTIES
ACCORDING TO THIRTY FIVE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS ARE EIGHTY NINE
PERCENT. OF THE CALIFORNIA
POPULATION ENCOURAGING
CONSERVATION. OF THE ENERGY AND
ADVISING OF THE RISK TO OUR GRID
WITH THE HEAT DORMER AGENCY. AS
A RESULT OF THIS ACTION THE
CALIFORNIA INDEPENDENT STATE
OPERATION. SOUGHT AN IMMEDIATE
AND SIGNIFICANT DROP IN MERCY
USE. PROVIDING SIMILAR TO THE
STATE GRID. WHAT I'LL SAY ON
THAT IS THAT- AS WE SAW THE
DEMAND. AND THE CAPABILITY PEAK
OUT WITH THE AYE SO ON THE ALERT
WENT OUT AND THEN FOUR MINUTES
WE SAW COMPLETE DROP OFF OF
ENERGY DEMAND SOME VERY
EFFECTIVE- SPECIFIC ROLES
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR OPERATING
AND MAINTAINING THE WIRELESS
ALERT SYSTEMS DO VERY BETWEEN
CALLOW YES THE COUNTY AND THE
CITIES. THE LOCAL AGENCIES MUST
SIGN UP FOR AND COMPLETE THE
TRAINING TO BE CERTIFIED AS A
FEMALE I PAUSE ALERTING
AUTHORITY. A CALLOW YES ASSIST
IN THIS TRAINING. ANY ALERT
SYSTEM THAT IS PROCURED AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL IS MAINTAINED BY THE
LOCAL AGENCIES BASED ON THE
CONTRACT THAT THEY HAVE WITHOUT
ALERTING VENDOR. THE STATE
ALERTING SYSTEM IS MAINTAINED BY
THE VENDOR THAT CALLOW YES
SELECTED THROUGH A COMPETITIVE
BID PROCESS. LOCAL SYSTEMS ARE
FUNDED USING LOCAL FUNDING AND
GRANT FUNDS THE STATE SYSTEM IS
FUNDED USING THE STATE EMERGENCY
TELEPHONE NUMBER ACCOUNT OR SET
NOT. BEFORE I CONCLUDE I WANTED
TO TOUCH ON THREE BILLS FROM
TWENTY EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY
NINETEEN THE CALLOW YES HAS
IMPLEMENTED. AND HAVE BOLSTERED
OUR CAPABILITIES- SENATE BILL
EIGHT THIRTY THREE ASSIGNED IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN REQUIRED- YES TO
DELIVER VOLUNTARY GUIDELINES FOR
LEARNING AND WARNING THE PUBLIC.
OF EMERGENCY AND REQUIRED- YES
TO DEVELOP AN ALERT WARNING
TRAINING WHICH HAS HAPPENED.
ASSEMBLY BILL EIGHTEEN SEVENTY
SEVEN ALSO CITED TWENTY EIGHTEEN
REQUIRED- YES TO REQUIRE TO
CREATE A LIBRARY OF TRANSLATED
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS. IN A
TRANSLATION STYLE GUIDE BILL
ALSO REQUIRED DESIGNATING
AUTHORITIES ALERTED AUTHORITIES
TO CONSIDER USING THE LIBRARY.
IN TRANSLATION STYLE GUIDE. WELL
USING EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS TO
THE PUBLIC AND I WOULD SAY IN
THIS MOST CURRENT WINNER START
US WHERE STORM EVENTS THAT WE'RE
HAVING WE'VE DONE MULTIPLE MULTI
LINGUAL ALERTS AND HAVE BEEN
VERY EFFECTIVE. AND LASTLY
SENATE BILL SIX SEVENTY WHICH
WAS SIGNED IN TWENTY NINETEEN
REQUIRED TELECOMMUNICATIONS
SERVICE PROVIDERS TO SUBMIT A
SPECIFIED OUTAGE ALERT. TO YES
WITH AN OUTAGE IMPACTING NINE
ELEVEN SERVICE AND EMERGENCY
NOTIFICATIONS OCCUR EVERY
MORNING AT NINE AM I GET
AUTOMATIC EMAIL FROM THE SYSTEM
TELLS ME WHAT'S WHAT'S BEEN DOWN
ON NINE ONE ONE LEGACY SYSTEMS
OVER THE LAST DAY. AND WHAT IS
CURRENTLY DOWN AS AN EXAMPLE
YESTERDAY WE HAD FORTY THREE
OUTAGES OF THE LEGACY SYSTEM
PRIMARILY IN AREAS WHERE WE ARE
HAVING HIGH WINDS. AND ALL THOSE
WERE RESOLVED IS THIS AS OF THIS
MORNING ON AT NINE AM HAD ZERO
SO IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE- TOOL FOR
US. TO MAKE SURE THE CARRIERS OF
. RESPOND VERY RAPIDLY ON FIXING
THESE. THESE REQUIREMENTS ALLOW
US TO BETTER SERVICE DURING
DESIGN RESPONSE BY ENSURING THAT
ALL CALIFORNIANS ARE NOTIFIED ON
ALL SORTS OF IMPENDING HAZARDS
OR THREATS. OR THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING ME SOMETIME TODAY TO
GIVE AN OVERVIEW VOTER STATES
EMERGE HILLARY SYSTEM AND I
WELCOME ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
HAVE OR OR LATER THANK YOU.
THANK YOU WE'LL WAIT FOR THOSE
TO THE PANELS DONE THAT SPEAKER

WHICH WAS PASSED BY THE
LEGISLATURE AND SIGNED BY THE
GOVERNOR IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
IN MY PRESENTATION TODAY I WILL
REVIEW THE RESPONSIBILITIES THE
OFFICE OUR PROGRESS SO FAR. AND
OUR GOALS FOR THE COMING YEAR.
THE OFFICE OF WILDFIRE
TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT IS TASKED WITH
STUDYING TESTING. AND ADVISING
ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND
TOOLS AVAILABLE TO MORE
EFFECTIVELY PREVENT AND SUPPRESS
WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA. AFTER
CONSULTING WITH PUBLIC PRIVATE
AND NONPROFIT ENTITIES TO
IDENTIFY. THESE NEW TECHNOLOGIES
AND TOOLS OF THE OFFICE WILL
MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE MOST
EFFECTIVE. AND USEFUL
TECHNOLOGIES AND TOOLS FOR USE
IN THE FIRE SERVICE. HELP I
RECEIVED FUNDING. TO STAFF THE
OFFICE IN JULY OF LAST YEAR AND
I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT SIX.
OF THE SEVEN POSITIONS OF THE
OFFICE HAVE BEEN HIRED. THE
FINAL REMAINING TO. THE
UNIFORMED ASSISTANT CHIEF AND
CURRENT WE ARE CURRENTLY
REVIEWING APPLICATIONS AS OF
THIS WEEK TO FILL THAT POSITION
. CAN CURRENTLY POSITIONS FOR
THE WILDFIRE TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD
ARE UNDERGOING THE APPOINTMENT
PROCESS. BUT AS ADVANCEMENTS IN
TECHNOLOGY MOVE QUICKLY SO HAVE
WE THE OFFICE HAS ALREADY BEGUN
TO ASSESS TECHNOLOGIES RELATED
TO REMOTE SENSING. AND
COMMUNICATION AND CONNECTIVITY
IN REMOTE AREAS. WHICH CAN BE A
SIGNIFICANT ISSUE DURING
WILDLAND FIREFIGHTING EFFORTS
RIGHT NOW THE OFFICE IS
CONDUCTING FIELD TESTS IN THE
JACKSON DEMONSTRATION STATE
FOREST LOCATED IN MENDOCINO
COUNTY. IN COLLABORATION WITH
PROGRAMS WITHIN CAL FIRE AS WELL
AS EXTERNAL DEPARTMENTS AND
VENDORS. WE HAVE COLLABORATED
WITH SEVERAL CAL FIRE STAFF IN
IDENTIFIED INTERNAL SUBJECT
MATTER EXPERTS AND KEY CONTACTS
AT WILL SINCE THE OFFICE AND ITS
RESEARCH. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE
WHO WILL PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON NEW
AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AT THE
OFFICE IDENTIFIES FROM PROPOSALS
. AND INDUSTRY WHITE PAPERS. THE
OFFICE IS ALSO WORKING ON
SOLIDIFYING PARTNERSHIPS WITH
EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS. AND
AGENCIES TO ASSISTANCE RESEARCH
AND INNOVATION SUCH AS THE US
FOREST SERVICE NASA AND OTHER
FEDERAL AGENCIES AND ACADEMIC
INSTITUTIONS. WE HAVE CREATED
THE FRAMEWORK IN ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE FOR BOTH THE OFFICE IN
THE ADVISORY BOARD AND
COLLABORATED WITH OUR LEGAL
OFFICE TO ENSURE THAT AN
APPROPRIATE LEGAL STRUCTURE.
SUCH AS NDAS ARE NON DISCLOSURE
AGREEMENTS AND- USE. AND ETHICAL
AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
ARE APPROPRIATELY ADDRESSED AS
NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE INTRODUCED
TO US FOR CONSIDERATION. SB ONE
OR NINE THE OFFICERS AS THE
STATE'S CENTRAL ORGANIZING HUB
TO IDENTIFY EMERGING WILDFIRE
TECHNOLOGIES WE ARE LEVERAGING
IN HOUSE EXPERTISE. TO DEVELOP
THE TECHNOLOGY REQUIRED TO
SUPPORT THIS WORK BY BUILDING A
MASTER DATABASE OF ALL
INTERACTIONS RESEARCH AND
SOLUTIONS AS WELL AS USING
TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS AI OR
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND
COGNITIVE SEARCH. TO HELP US
ORGANIZE AND CATALOG LARGE
AMOUNTS OF RESEARCH PAPERS
DOCUMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION
. WHILE WE ARE COMMITTED TO
REVIEWING NEW WILDFIRE
TECHNOLOGY IDEAS FROM OUTSIDE
THE DEPARTMENT WE ARE ALSO
TARGETING KEY ISSUES IDENTIFYING
CALIFORNIA'S FIRE PROTECTION
PROGRAM TO HELP US PROACTIVELY
SEEK SOLUTIONS. FOR PROBLEMS
FACING US TODAY. SO WHAT'S NEXT
WE ARE GOING TO LAUNCH A PUBLIC
RESOURCE WE ARE GOING TO LAUNCH
PUBLIC RESOURCES FOR EXTERNAL
PARTIES TO SUBMIT IDEAS.
RESEARCH PAPERS PRODUCTS IN
OTHER PROPOSALS TO THE OFFICE
FOR CONSIDERATION. THE OFFICE IS
ALSO FINALIZING INTERNAL
PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES FOR
LEVERAGING CAL FIRE RESOURCES TO
HELP COMPLETE RESEARCH. AND
EVALUATIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES
THESE INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT
LIMITED TO PRESCRIBED FIRE. AND
DEMONSTRATION STATE FORESTS.
ACCESS TO EXISTING CAL FIRE
EQUIPMENT AND STAFF TIME FOR
EXPERTISE IN TESTING. WE WILL
CONTINUE FIELD TESTING AND
EVALUATING IDEAS SUBMITTED TO
THE OFFICE AND WE HOPE TO ISSUE
MANY REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION IN
THE COMING YEAR TO HELP ADDRESS.
THE WILDFIRE THREAT FACING
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE
COMMITTEE ON THE- PROGRESS OF
OUR OFFICE A WELFARE TECHNOLOGY
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT I'LL
NOW TURN IT OVER TO CHIEF CURTIS

TECHNOLOGIES. USED BY CAL FIRE.
THANK YOU SCOTT THE MORNING CARE
DIED IN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS CURTIS
BROWN ON THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR
FIRE PROTECTION FOR CAL FIRE
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK WITH YOU TODAY ABOUT THE
VARIOUS WILDFIRE TECHNOLOGIES
CALIFORNICA UTILIZES. IN PART
THANKS TO THE INVESTMENT OF THE
LEGISLATURE LEGISLATOR.
LEGISLATURE AND ADMINISTRATION
TOWARDS IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE-
I FIRST LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS HAVE
BEEN MADE IN PART BE REMODELING
A PREDICTION. AND TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN COVER NEW SOME
EMPLOYMENT AT THE REQUEST FOR
INNOVATION IDEAS OR ARE R. F. BY
SQUARE PROCESS. WHICH WAS
INTENDED TO PROVIDE A NEW
APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING
WHERE INSTEAD OF A STATE ENTITY
ASKING EVEN IF FOR A PRODUCT.
THE STATE INSTEAD ASK FOR
SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM. GOVERNOR
TASK. WITH SUPPORT FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
AND THE DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY
WITH BECOMING THE FIRST STATE
ENTITY TO SUCCESSFULLY
IMPLEMENT. THIS PROCESS THROUGH
EXECUTIVE ORDER IN ZERO FOUR
NINETEEN WHICH RESULTED IN A
MULTI YEAR CONTRACT WITH THE
KOSOVO FOR WILDLAND FIRE
SIMULATION MODELING. AND
FORECASTING. THERE BEEN MANY
SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENT TO
CUSTOM FUELS TO MATCH OBSERVED
BEHAVIOR FROM EXTRA TECH FIRES.
TWENTY NEW TWENTY ONE NEW CUSTOM
FIELD MODELS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED
TESTED VALIDATED AND
IMPLEMENTED. OPERATIONALLY THESE
RESULT IN MORE ACCURATE SPREAD
MODELING COMPARED TO OBSERVE
FIRE BEHAVIOR. WE ALSO LEVERAGE
CAL GUARDS FIRE GUARD PROGRAM
FOR EARLY DETECTION AND I'M
GOING ASSESSMENT. DURING AN
INCIDENT WE CAN HIRE VENDORS FOR
FIRE PRINTER UPDATES I WROTE HI
RESOLUTION IMAGERY AND FULL
MOTION VIDEO. THE DATA COLLECTED
IS PROCESSED BY AN OVERWATCH
IMAGER WHICH IS AUTOMATICALLY
WHEN THERE'S A FIRE LINE
PARAMETER EMPIRE INTENSITY. THIS
IS SPED UP THE POST PROCESSING
FOR INITIAL DAMAGE TO STRUCTURE
AND INFRASTRUCTURE. WE ALSO
LEVERAGE STILLER CALIFORNIA
FORMALLY KNOWN AS ALERT WILD
FIRE CAMERA NETWORK FOR
VALIDATION IN GREATER
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. THE FIRE
GUARD THAT IS ALSO USED IN WHICH
SHE LEARNING AN AI TO IMPROVE
THE FIRE MODELING AND SPREAD
PRODUCES WITHIN OUR FIRE
MODELING. SOFTWARE TOOK THE
SILVER. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
SPEAK BRIEFLY ON OUR NEW
CALIFORNIA HOCKS THANKS TO
SUPPORT INVESTMENT FROM THE
LEGISLATOR IN ADMINISTRATION
CALIFORNIA'S PURCHASE TWELVE NEW
SIKORSKY S. SEVENTY I.
FIREFIGHTING HELICOPTERS. THESE
NEW GENERATION HELICOPTERS ARE
YOU PLACING TOP BARS AGING FLEET
OF TWELVE SUPER HUEY
HELICOPTERS. IN FISCAL YEAR
TWENTY TWO AND TWENTY THREE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING WAS APPROVED
TO PURCHASE FOR MORE AT SEVENTY
AYE FIREHAWKS. TO INCREASE
SEARCH CAPACITY AND TO MAINTAIN
OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES DURING
MANDATORY MAINTENANCE CYCLES.
THESE HELICOPTERS CAN CARRY ONE
THOUSAND GALLONS OF WATER IN
COMPLY AT NIGHT SOMETHING ARE
SUPER HUEYS COULDN'T DO. IN FACT
ONE OF OUR PARTS WE USED AT
NIGHT ON THE MOSQUITO PARTNER
FORCE TILL LAST YEAR WITH GREAT
SUCCESS. IT WAS A CREDIT TO
REDUCING THE THREAT TO THE TOWN
OF FOREST HILL. ADDITIONAL NIGHT
FIREFIGHTING FLIGHTS OCCURRED ON
THE ELECTRIC FIRE OAK FIRE IN
THE FAIRVIEW FIRE. CAL FIRE IS
GRATEFUL FOR THESE AMAZING
AVIATION TOOLS TO ASSIST. OUR
FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION
EFFORTS. LASTLY THE COMMITTEE
ASKED ME TO GIVE A BRIEF UPDATE
ON THE STATUS OF THE LIVESTOCK
PASSED PROGRAM CREATED BY A. B.
ELEVEN OH THREE IN TWENTY TWENTY
ONE. WAS TASKED THE OFFICE OF
THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL WITH
CREATING A CURRICULUM FOR
LIVESTOCK PASSED PROGRAM. THIS
PROGRAM ALLOWS CERTAIN
INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH
LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION TO TAKE
TRAINING AND OBTAIN IT PASSED
TOOK SISTER PROPERTY DOING
EMERGENCY IN ORDER TO CARE FOR
THE LIVESTOCK. THE STATE BOARD
OF FIRE SERVICES APPROVED
INCIDENT SAFETY FORGET
AGRICULTURE LAND AND LIVESTOCK
PRODUCERS COURSE PLANNED EARLIER
THIS YEAR. IN THE COURSE PLAN IS
POSTED ON OUR STATE FIRE
TRAINING WEBPAGE. THESE CLASSES
ARE GOING TO BE DELIVERED
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY
AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER OR
OTHER AGENCY DESIGNATED BY THE
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
UPDATE THIS COMMISSION ON SOME
OF THE MANY TECHNOLOGY TOP ARE
YOU UTILIZE IS TO HELP US MEET
OUR MISSION. WE'RE HAPPY ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AT
THIS TIME THANK YOU. BEFORE THE
BODY GOES I JUST I JUST WANT TO
KISS ON YOUR LAST POINT OF THE
LIVESTOCK PASS PROGRAM WHICH I
THINK IS STILL OUTSTANDING SUB
THAT'S- INCREDIBLY NECESSARY.
THAT EXTENDS TO AGRICULTURE IN
GENERAL DOESN'T IT NOT JUST LOT
LIVESTOCK. I'M NOT SURE. WHY WE
NEED WE REALLY NEED TO- GET AN
UNDERSTANDING OF THAT WE'VE GOT-
YOU KNOW. VERY VALUABLE CROPS
FOR EXAMPLE THAT ARE SOMETIMES
IN THOSE AREAS- ADMINISTER IT
YOU KNOW IN NAPA COUNTY FOR
EXAMPLE AND SNOW COUNTY. THEY
DID HAVE A THROUGH THE ACT. SAY
PROGRAM I THINK BUT I JUST WANNA
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE- COORDINATE THAT ARE-
CONSISTED FROM. COUNTY TO COUNTY
TO BE PUT. THANK YOU CENTER ROTH
. THANK YOU MR I'M JUST CURIOUS
IS IT BEEN ANY PROGRESS ON THE-
ACQUISITION OF THE C. ONE THIRTY
FIREFIGHTING PLATFORM. BECAUSE
GUARD DEPARTMENT FENCE AS A
MATTER OF FACT WE HAD EXECUTIVE
STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING
YESTERDAY AND RIGHT NOW OF THE
U. S. AIR FORCE AND U. S. COAST
GUARD- HAVE- PUT A NEW SCHEDULE
OUT AS FAR AS- GETTING TO SEE
WHEN THIRTIES THERE IS A- LOT OF
PROGRESS BEEN MADE WITHIN THE
LAST. THREE SIX MONTHS LOOK FOR
TO SEE A NEW SCHEDULE FROM THE
US AIR FORCE. MY NEPHEW IN FIRST
SEEN THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THAT FOR A LONG TIME WE
HAVE BEEN TALKING SO I TERM OUT
IN TWENTY TWENTY FOUR YOU THINK
I MIGHT SEE HIM ON THE FLIGHT
LINE SOMEWHERE. ACCORDING TO THE
NEW SCHEDULE NOW. HERE'S A NEW
ALL. CENTER WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO YES. MIKE CENTER MAY AND SET
THAT PROBABLY SHOULD GET
INVOLVED WITH OUR COLLEAGUES IN
WASHINGTON DC AND SEE IF WE
CAN'T. BE THIS THING ALONE BY
THE TIME YOU GET THEM- THEY'LL
BE SOME JET POWERED TRANSPORT
THAT'LL BE COMING OFF THE LINE
AND AVAILABLE SO THIS IS SORT OF
OUTRAGEOUS AND IT'S NOT YOUR
FAULT IT'S NOT THE STATE'S FAULT
BUT- I KNOW THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT. MOVES AT
SNAIL PACE BUT- THE SNAILS AND
EVEN MOVING IN THIS CASE SO. ONE
OTHER QUICK QUESTION YOU HEARD
MIKE PREVIOUS QUESTION TO THE L.
A. REGARDING THE- MILITARY
DEPARTMENT NATIONAL GUARDS IN Q.
NINE PLATFORM YES JUST CURIOUS
IF YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO ACCESS
THAT. GIVEN ITS- REMOTELY
PILOTED STATUS AND LONG LOITER
TIME AND IF YOU ARE HOW USEFUL
THAT IS. WE ARE- IT WILL STILL
ABLE TO ACCESS THAT. AND I CAN'T
SPEAK TO HOW OFTEN- WE USE THAT
IF THAT WAS THE SECOND PART YOUR
QUESTION. YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS
IT THIS. COULD BE INTERESTED TO
KNOW. IS I KNOW WE HAVE. MANDER
CRAFTED TO PROVIDE A PROVIDING
SURVEILLANCE AND I'LL BE CURIOUS
TO THÀNH. TO GET A REPORT
HOPEFULLY FROM YOU ALL ARE FROM
THE L. A. O. FOR FROM BOTH OF
YOU IS TO. THOSE TWO PLATFORMS
AND HOW THEY MEASURE UP IN THE
COST EFFECTIVENESS OF ONE OVER
THE OTHER AND- AND THE AND THE-
AND A DATA ANALYSIS AS TO
WHETHER ONE PLATFORM IS BETTER
THAN THE OTHER FOR YOUR PURPOSES
IN IDENTIFYING HOT SPOTS AND-
TRYING TO PREVENT THE LOSS OF
LIFE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU THANK
YOU. CENTER SIRE TO. THANK YOU.
SO WAY BACK WHEN AND BEFORE I
RETIRED WE HAVING THE CONSTANT
TRANSFER IT YOU KNOW THE
INTEROPERABLE AT ISSUE WITH THE
RADIOS. HAS THAT EVER BEEN
COMPLETELY ACCOMPLISHED WITH NO
HOLES FOR ANY OF THE AGENCIES
ARE WE STILL WORKING ON TRYING
TO. IMPROVE THOSE COMMUNICATIONS
ON THE FIRE GROUND- WHEN WE HAVE
MULTIPLE AGENCIES.
COMMUNICATIONS IS ALWAYS BEEN
THE WEAK LINK IN A VIRGIN SEE
RESPONSE AND THE NEW SYSTEMS.
THAT ARE COMING ONLINE- THE
CALLOW YES CHRIS RADIO SYSTEM-
FIRE SCOPE. ANNUALLY PUTS OUT
INTEROPERABLE RADIO FREQUENCIES
AND- THE COORDINATION WE HAVE
NOW HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER- YEAH
CAN WE GET BETTER YES WE CAN
ALWAYS GET BETTER AND I THINK
OUR OUR OUR SEVEN HUNDRED
MEGAHERTZ CHRIS RADIO SYSTEM. AS
WE INCORPORATE THAT IN STATEWIDE
RESPONSE WILL VASTLY IMPROVE OUR
OPERATIONS AND WE HAVE THE
RESOURCES WE NEED. TO ACCOMPLISH
THAT WE CONTINUED TO BUILD OUT
NOW AND I WILL DO FOR TO MR
GREEN ON THAT BUT- AS IT IS IT
GETS INCORPORATED INTO THE FIRE
SERVICE- WE WILL REQUIRE SOME
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WITH RADIOS
AND SUCH. THE ONE THING WE'RE
LOOKING AT IS HAVING MULTI BAND
RADIOS WHERE YOU CAN NO MATTER
WHERE YOU'RE AT YOU HAVE THE
ABILITY TO CHANGE FREQUENCIES
AND COMMUNICATE. RIGHT YEAH WE
ARE CURRENTLY EXECUTING ONE OF
THE BCPS WE HAVE FOR THE CHRIS
RADIO SYSTEM AND WORKING THROUGH
WITH OUR OUR PARTNERS THROUGHOUT
THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
COMMUNITY TO GET THEM TO- TO SEE
THE VALUE THE SYSTEM AND- AND
TO- USE THAT AS THE BASELINE FOR
THEIR- FOR FUTURE PURCHASES FOR
RADIOS AND SO FORTH ALSO- I HAVE
A TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS UNIT
THAT- WHEN WE- FIRE UP WITH ONE
OF THESE EMERGENCIES- ARE ARE ON
THE GROUND AVAILABLE AND- WE
WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE TWENTY
EIGHT. CHRIS RADIOS AND A BASE
STATION TO MODEL COUNTY- BECAUSE
OF SOME POTENTIAL UP CAPS IN IN
COMMUNICATIONS WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO INSERT OURSELVES-
TACTICALLY INTO DIFFERENT
ENVIRONMENTS IF WE NEED TO WITH
THAT SYSTEM IS VERY WELL
RECEIVED. AND K. KIDS AGE I JUST
AS YOU'D STATED. ON FIRE GROUND
THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BIG ISSUE
AND THAT'S THE FASTEST WAY THE
INCIDENTS HERSELF IS THE
INABILITY TO COMMUNICATE BETWEEN
AGENCIES THAT ARE RESPONDING.
AND SO KEEPING US APPRISED OF
THAT MOST IMPORTANT THING SO
THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
THE SUPPORT YOU GUYS NEED TO. TO
ENSURE THAT THAT IS IT IS AN
EVOLVING THING TOO IT'S ALWAYS
CHANGING. LIKE THE RADIOS WE PUT
INTO OPERATION BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND TWELVE OR- OBSOLETE NOW
AND- AND SO THAT'S AN ON GOING.
FUNDING ISSUE WE CAN'T JUST BY
ONE YEAR AND EXPECTING THE LAST
FOR FIFTY YEARS STUFF AND THANK
YOU. WHAT. ELSE I'VE GOT A FEW
QUESTION- DISCREETLY. YOU YOU
DID TALK ABOUT- DOING- THAT
INFORMATION CALL FOR DIFFERENT
TECHNOLOGIES AND EVERYTHING. SO
I THIS QUESTION MAY BE A LITTLE
BIT- AHEAD OF ITS TIME BUT- IT'S
WHAT WHAT WILDFIRE. WILDFIRE
THREAT INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTS AS
A CENTER DEVELOP PURSUANT TO THE
STATUTORY DIRECTION SO I KNOW
YOU'RE GETTING A LOT OF LIBBY.
JUST GOT TO GET TO THE QUESTION
WE HAVE HAD IS LEGISLATORS SO
MANY PEOPLE COMING DIRECTLY TO
US I'VE GOT THIS PRODUCT. AND
I'M JUST GONNA LIKE. WE GO
REALLY. BUT THERE ARE. A LOT OF
AMAZING PRODUCTS OUT THERE AND I
KNOW THAT- YEAH THIS MAY NOT BE
IT'S CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO BE
YOUR FIRST- PRIORITY IN THIS
AREA. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF
PRODUCTS THAT YOU DID THAT I'VE
SEEN OUT THERE BEEN DEMONSTRATED
YOU CAN SPRAY OUGHT OUTBUILDINGS
HOUSES EVERYTHING. THAT REALLY
WORK I'VE SEEN THE DEMONSTRATION
IT'S MIND BLOWING. IS THAT'S IT
ANY OF THOSE PRODUCTS ON YOUR
LIST OF THINGS THAT YOU WOULD.
YOU'LL BE LOOKING AT BECAUSE I
THINK THE PUBLIC THERE THERE'S A
LOT OF AREA HERE THAT'S JUST
RIGHT FOR A MISREPRESENTATION.
SO YOU GET IT IN SO INSTEAD OF
WAITING. UNTIL THERE IS A LOT OF
MISREPRESENTATION PEOPLE'S HOMES
BURNED DOWN. CAN WE GET AHEAD OF
THIS TYPE OF THING. YEAH IT
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT QUESTION
CHAIR DOT- WE DO- RECIEVE JUST
JUST AS YOU DO. A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF INTEREST AND- OUR ROLE
IS TO PROVE SOME OF THE EFFICACY
AND BENEFITTED OUT FOR THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA- I AM AWARE
OF THE ITEM THAT YOU JUST
MENTIONED I ACTUALLY ATTENDED A
DEMONSTRATION OF THAT. I THINK
WHAT'S VERY UNIQUE ABOUT ABOUT
THIS OFFICE AND OUR ABILITY TO
GO FORWARD AND INVESTIGATE SOME
OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES AND REALLY
PROVE THEM OUT IS THAT. OUR
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT ALLOWS US
TO DO THAT SO WE DO- ENGAGE WITH
OUR PARTNERS IN UNIFORM AND NOT
WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT TO
DETERMINE ARE SOME OF THESE
TECHNO IS BENEFICIAL FOR THE
WORK THAT WE SEE. DALY ON THE
GROUND AND HOW WE ADDRESS IT-
WHERE THERE IS A NEXUS BETWEEN
THOSE TWO THAT'S WHERE WE BEGIN
TO FOCUS SOME OF OUR EFFORTS AND
REALLY BEGIN TO CATALOG AND
UNDERSTAND IT. NOT JUST FROM A
HIGH LEVEL- SAY ELEVATOR PITCH
PERSPECTIVE BUT REALLY GETTING
INTO THE WEEDS. AND
UNDERSTANDING HOW IT'S BUILT HOW
IT'S DEVELOPED AND HOW WE COULD
BENEFIT FROM IT SO YES THERE
THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS IN WHICH
WE ADDRESS THOSE BUT- THEY DO
COME. UP FROM MANY DIRECTIONS
AND WE DO OUR VERY BEST TO FEEL
THEM. THEN FOR YOU HOW THE IN
THE OF EIGHTY I AM WILD
PREVENTION SUPPRESSION EFFORTS.
IMPROVE THE ALL OVERALL-
EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF
WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT. ARE THERE
ANY SPECIAL. SPECIFIC APPLE A.
I. APPLICATIONS THAT. HAVE
REALLY PROVEN TO BE- YEAH WORTHY
OF FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS WHILE.
AB QUITE A FUTURE DOT- ONE IN
PARTICULAR I CAN SHARE IS- SMOKE
DETECTION. FOR EXAMPLE. OF SOME
OF THE WORK WE'RE ENGAGED IN
THROUGH- THE AUTHORITY THE
OFFICE THAT WAS CREATED THROUGH
SENATE BILL ONE OH NINE. IS TO
TEST TECHNOLOGY JUST LIKE THAT
CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A
MESH NETWORK DEPLOYED WITHIN THE
JACKSON DEMONSTRATION FOREST.
THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT A AYE.
IN PROCESSING MY NEW SIGNATURES
OF SMOKE WITHIN THE AIR BEFORE
EVEN. YOU KNOW- ICE CONCEDE OR
THE OR THE NOSE CAN SMELL IT.
WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS IS
IT IS ALLOWS US IN A- A MESH
NETWORK THROUGHOUT A VERY
AUSTERE ENVIRONMENT IN DEEP IN
IN THE JACKSON FORCED TO BE ABLE
TO COMMUNICATE THAT INFORMATION.
NOT ONLY FROM THE GROUND BUT
SNIFFING THE AIR PUSHING IT TO
THE CLOUD BACK TO AN OPERATIONS
CENTER PRESS TO ANALYZE IT
FURTHER TRIANGULATED THAT
INFORMATION AS ANOTHER INJECT
INTO THE INTEL PROCESS. A. I.
HAS BECOME SOMEWHAT OF A
REVOLUTION IS WE'VE ALL HEARD IN
THE NEWS- WE ARE CAUTIOUSLY
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT SOME OF THE
BENEFITS AND PROMISES THAT- IT
PURPORTS BUT WE ARE SEEING SOME
FANTASTIC RESULTS. SPECIFICALLY
THROUGH EARLY FIRE DETECTION
SMOKE DETECTION- AND MODELING AS
WELL. GREAT WE'RE GOING TO WANT
TO GET ON TO THE EXPELLER COUPLE
COUPLE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I
ASKED THE FIRST PANEL THAT WE
NEEDED ASKED TO YOU. ARE THE
CAMERA SYSTEMS- OBVIOUSLY I
BELIEVE THERE FACT OF I'M SURE
YOU BELIEVE THEY'RE AFFECTED BUT
ARE THERE ENOUGH OF THEM IS
THERE ENOUGH BUDGET TO GIVE YOU
WHAT YOU NEED IS OR SHORTFALL.
THE SYSTEMS- ARE EFFECTIVE AND
WE UTILIZE THEM AS A MATTER OF
FACT I'M LAST YEAR- WITHIN MY
PROGRAM IS INTO A PROGRAM AND-
IN A REPORT ON CONDITIONS I
ASKED THAT WE ADD A LINK TO THE
CAMERAS- TO INITIAL ATTACK. FIRE
SO THAT- THOSE THAT RECEIVED
THAT REPORT ON CONDITIONS CAN
AUTOMATICALLY CLICK THE LINK TO
THAT AND SEE IN REAL TIME-
WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND. THAT
INITIAL ATTACK EXTENDED TECH BY
OR A MAJOR FIRE UP FOR THAT
POINT SO YES THEY ARE VERY
BENEFICIAL- TO EVERYONE. AND MY
UNDERSTANDING AS OF LAST WEEK
WERE UP TWO HUNDRED NINETY TWO-
CAMERAS IS PARSED- BEING
SUPPORTED- BUT FUNDING. I
HAVEN'T HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS
ABOUT FUNDING BUT- IS OUR
SHORTFALL- THREAT. I HAVEN'T I
HAVEN'T HEARD THAT ARE FELT THAT
YEAH OKAY PERFECT- I THINK COME
OUT WELL THE OTHER ONE THE OTHER
QUESTION WAS- ABOUT THE TECHNO
STILL THE FIRES IN THE WILDFIRE.
OF FIRE CAST WILDFIRE BEFORE
CASTING TECHNOLOGIES- SOUND LIKE
YOU WERE PUT YEAH THAT WAS GOING
JUST FINE AND- YEAH IT'S- IT'S
PERFECT IT IT'S ACTUALLY
INTEGRATED INTO PERFECT IT'S
ACTUALLY INTEGRATED INTO THE AT
THE WITH TECH- DALY PRODUCT. OF
TOOK THIS OVER I THINK THERE'S A
TAKEAWAY THAT ON WE'VE TAKEN
THAT IS THAT WHAT THE TAKE A
LOOK LIKE TODAY. IT'S NOT GOING
TO LOOK AT COUPLE YEARS WE
EXPECT TECHNOLOGY TO TAKE US TO
DIFFERENT LEVELS AND SO- IT YOU
KNOW. WE A MINDSET GROWING. IN
THE SYSTEM IN THIS- SPACE.
BEFORE WE CLOSE- OKAY. YES WILL
HAVE PLEASE SORRY BEFORE WE
CLOSE OUT I JUST SAY HOW IN. I
OF THE TWO. IN A RESEARCH WE
HAVE A CAL. AND BEING THAT I
THAT I IN THE MOUNT REGION OF A
LOT MY NEIGHBOR COMMUTER
BUSINESS. AB AG- LET. ARE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE WILD SEASON
YEAR AFTER YEAR. AND IF I WOULD
HAVE IT MY WAY I WOULD HAVE CAL
FIRE BE IN CHARGE OF EVERY
SINGLE FIRE HERE IN CALIFORNIA-
BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT
THE WAY THINGS WORK. AND SO CAN
YOU SAY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE FOR OUR
PREVIOUS PANEL ABOUT HOW WE
COORDINATE LEADERSHIP- WITH OUR
LOCAL AGENCIES. OPPORTUNITY FOR
US TO STREAMLINE SO THAT CAL
FIRE CAN'T TAKE A LEAD IN- SOME
OF THESE WILDFIRES. THAT
CONTINUE TO AB DEVASTATE OUR OUR
COMMUNITIES. TWO OR THREE FOR ME
CHOI THE NUMBER AT THE- STATE.
AN EXCELLENT QUESTION AND ALL
INCIDENTS BEGIN SMALL BEGIN
LOCAL AND THEN THEY THEY GROW.
MY JOB IT- YES IS TO COORDINATE
THAT MUTUAL AID SYSTEM.
WEATHERED THE FIRES ON FEDERAL
LAND OR STATE RESPONSIBILITY
AREA LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESPONDS
IN ASSIST THOSE FIREFIGHTING
AGENCIES. AND THAT'S A SYSTEM
THAT DOESN'T EXIST ANYWHERE IN
THE NATION. RIGHT HERE IN
CALIFORNIA IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT COLOR YOUR FIRE ENGINE IS
WHAT PATCH YOU HAVE ON YOUR
SHOULDER EVERYBODY RESPONDS TO
THE EMERGENCY AND I HAVE A C.
SAYING IT OH YES NO ONE STANDS
ALONE AND THAT IS THE- IS A TRUE
STATEMENT HERE IN CALIFORNIA HOW
WE RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES. AND
ALTERNATE BACK TO CHEAP BROWN
YEAH HE HE HE SAID IT BEST A ALL
BUYERS START- LOCAL AND THERE'S
VARIOUS MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS-
FOR OTHER AGENCIES- TO SUPPORT
LOCALLY BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COMMENTS CENTER RASPY. HELLO
THANK YOU DIED IN WANT TO MISS
WOULD SET O. SHE HAD ONE YES AB
THE THING YOU FOR HIGH. THE
EFFORTS OF OUR LOCAL BECAUSE YOU
KNOW WITHOUT THEM YOU KNOW SMALL
FIRES TURN INTO INCENDIARY
INFERNOS- I ALSO REALIZE THAT WE
HAVE SO MANY FIRE STATIONS THAT
ARE CLOSING AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
AND OUR MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES ARE
REAL COMMUNITIES REALLY RELY ON
THOSE- THOSE FIRE STATIONS TO
STAY OPEN- AND I'VE HEARD OF ALL
DIFFERENT REASONS WHY- YOU KNOW
RESOURCES ARE NOT GOING TO DO.
TO OUR LOCAL FIRE STATIONS. IF
ANYTHING FROM YOU KNOW JUST KIND
OF UPGRADING THE FACILITIES
ENSURING THAT WE HAVE- A PLAN
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT WE'RE
PROTECTING OUR FIRE FIGHTERS
AGAINST CARCINOGENS- AND REALLY
JUST ENSURING THAT WE HAVE
ENOUGH LOCAL FIRE STATIONS-
THROUGHOUT THE RURAL
COMMUNITIES. SO CAN YOU SAY A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE STATE
SUPPORTS LOCAL JURISDICTIONS IN
TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT WE
HAVE THE RESOURCES SO THAT THEY
CAN FIGHT THESE FIRES ON THE
GROUND. TO PREVENT US FROM
HAVING THESE LARGE AND FURNACE.
WELL AGAIN I'LL GO BACK TO THE
MUTUAL AID SYSTEM- WE HAVE WITH
THE INCIDENT STARTS WHETHER IT'S
A WILD FIRE OR THE FLOODING-
INCIDENTS THAT WE'RE FACING
RIGHT NOW HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
WOMEN INTERNET BECOMES TOO MUCH
FOR A LOCAL JURISDICTION THEY
PICK UP THE PHONE AND THEY CALL
FOR HELP. AND THE CLOSES
RESOURCES START RESPONDING
EITHER THROUGH THE MUTUAL AID
SYSTEM. AND AS SEEN DURING THIS
RECENT WINTER STORM OF THAT THE
STATE'S MISSION TASKING TAU FOR
CAL FIRE TO RESPOND. SO IT'S
REALLY A SEAMLESS INTEGRATION TO
SUPPORT THOSE SMALLER RULE FIRE
DEPARTMENTS THAT- NEED HELP WE
ARE INVENTORYING OUR ENTIRE FIRE
RESCUE MUTUAL AID SYSTEM RIGHT
NOW TO GET A BETTER GRASP OF
WHAT'S OUT THERE AND- AND FIGURE
OUT HOW WE CAN SUPPORT THEM. BUT
THE BOTTOM LINE THEY CAN PICK UP
THE PHONE AND CALL FOR MUTUAL
AID AND FIRE FIGHTERS WILL COME
. SEND ME TO BRING US BACK TO ON
GROUND EXAMPLE AND IF YOU CAN
HELP WALK ME THROUGH- TO THE
COUNTER FIRE SO THIS IS A FIRE
THAT REALLY DEVASTATED MY SENATE
DISTRICT- AND THOSE OF US WHO
RELY ON THE ECO TOURISM OF THE
MOUNTAIN REGIONS. AND THIS
NOTION OF WATCHING AND WAITING
WATCHING A FIRE AND WAITING TO
SEE WHAT IT WILL DO- REALLY-
TOOK US DOWN A PATH OF
DEVASTATION WITH THE COUNTER
FIRE- WE LOST ENTIRE COMMUNITIES
LIKE GRIZZLY FLATS IN ORDER OUT
OF COUNTY- I SAW LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS DO AMAZING STUFF-
FOR EXAMPLE IN IN IN TAHOE- YOU
KNOW SAVING THE CHRISTMAS VALLEY
I THINK THAT WAS. AMAZING WORK-
WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS THAT
WE HAVE LESSONS LEARNED AND
WE'RE STILL SEEING THESE
WATCHING WEIGHT PATTERNS ARE
THEY COMING FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WHERE THAT WHERE
THOSE- WHERE ARE THOSE
DIRECTIVES COMING FROM AND WHAT
WE LEARNING FROM FIRES LIKE
CALDOR SO WE DON'T REPEAT THOSE
. WELL AS YOU KNOW CALPERS AN
AGENCY WE AGGRESSIVELY- ATTACK-
ALL FIRES ARE BECAUSE WE KNOW
WHAT THE DEVASTATION THAT THEY
CAUSE I THINK FROM. OTHER
FEDERAL AGENCIES UP LAST YEAR
WITH AND REGION FIVE- THEY ALSO
TOOK THAT STANCE- HERE WITHIN
THE REGION. AND SO- I THINK
EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS CERTAIN
CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR AND
DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON THE
WEATHER. IS THAT- YOU CAN'T- A
FIRE TO GROW AND SO. I THINK
THERE'S A MOVE AFOOT- IF IT
HASN'T HAPPENED THIS YEAR FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT I CAN'T
SPEAK WITH THEM IS TO TAKE THE
SAME STANCE- THEY DID LAST YEAR.
WITH I TO PERCENT- SUPPRESSION I
WOULD HOPE. SURE DID A GREAT JOB
WITH THAT LAST YEAR I CAN TELL
YOU THAT CENTER ASHBY. THANK YOU
CHAIRMAN DIED HE GREAT QUESTIONS
FROM MY COLLEAGUE THERE SENT HER
OVER OUT OF GUILT I JUST WANT TO
TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY
THANK YOU. I COME FROM
SACRAMENTO CITY OF SACRAMENTO SO
. I OFTEN WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE MUTUAL AID WHERE WE'RE
SENDING IT IN. REALLY PROUD OF
SACRAMENTO'S URBAN SEARCH AND
RESCUE TEAM WHICH YOU ALL KNOW
IT'S- BEEN ALL AROUND THE WORLD
MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE AT NINE
ELEVEN AND KATRINA AND ALL
ACROSS OUR STATE. I THINK FOR ME
AND THIS MAY BE MORE OF A
STATEMENT THAN A QUESTION BUT IF
YOU HAVE FEEDBACK I'D BE HAPPY
TO HEAR IT. I WORRY COMING FROM.
A BIG CITY THAT'S WELL FUNDED
FOR THE FIRE SERVICE AND HAS-
SURROUNDING COUNTY ALSO WELL
FUNDED. FOR ITS FIRE SERVICE. I
WORRY ABOUT OUR CALL VOLUME
INTERNALLY IN THE CITY AND HOW
THAT'S IMPACTED WHEN WE SEND
RESOURCES OUT. TO OTHER PARTS OF
THE STATE. WHEN THEY'RE ON CALL
FOR MUTUAL AID. AND ONE OF THE
REASONS I WORRY ABOUT IT IS
BECAUSE I THINK OUR EMS SYSTEM
FOR CALL NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM IS
ANTIQUATED MEANING. I THINK OF
PARTICULARLY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
IS OVER BURDENED WITH CALLS THAT
THEY AREN'T NECESSARILY THE
RIGHT ENTITY TO RESPOND TO. AND
I THINK FOR THE LONG TERM
TRAJECTORY I'M A NEW MEMBER BUT
I THINK IN MY TIME HERE ONE OF
THE THINGS I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT.
IS HOW FROM A STATE PERSPECTIVE
WE COULD ADDRESS THAT NINE ONE
ONE SYSTEM. HOW WE COULD CREATE
OPPORTUNITIES I KNOW THERE ARE
LOTS OF CITIES NOT JUST MINE.
DOING INNOVATIVE WORK AROUND
HYBRID MODEL SOME OF THAT HAS
TO. CREATIVELY COME FROM THE
FIRE SERVICE THEMSELVES WHERE
YOU PUT IT BEHAVIORAL TECH
PERSON WITH FIRE EMTS AND MEDICS
AND YOU GO OUT AND- DEAL WITH A
CERTAIN CALL VOLUME THAT THAT
MAKES SENSE FOR THAT. I RESOURCE
SO I'M JUST INTERESTED FOR THE
LONG TERM OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. I WOULD AGREE WITH
YOU THAT MUTUAL AID SETS US
APART IT'S REALLY. ONE OF THE
THINGS WE DO BEST IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA AND I'M VERY PROUD
OF IT VERY PROUD TO BEEN A
CHAMPION. OF THOSE RESOURCES IN
IN MY OWN CITY AND HOPE TO
CONTINUE THAT HERE BUT WOULD
LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK
ABOUT HOW WE CAN PROTECT THOSE
CITIES. THAT ARE REALLY
PROVIDING ALL THAT MUTUALLY
DOESN'T COME FROM NOWHERE
THEY'RE NOT SITTING ON THE
BENCH. THEY'RE COMING OUT OF
STATIONS HERE. TO GO HELP
SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY CLOSE THEIR
STATION SO I JUST LOVE TO HEAR
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT AND- KIND
OF LAID OUT THERE IS. SOMETHING
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT A
PRIORITY FOR ME IN THE TIME
THEY'LL SPEND HERE. YES TO
ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION ON- MAKING
SURE THE HOMELAND IS PROTECTED
BEFORE MUTUAL AID AND THAT IS A
SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. IN EVERY
FIRE CHIEF AND AN ELECTED
OFFICIAL. REALLY MAKES THAT
DECISION ON. THEIR LEVEL OF
COMFORT. WE DO KNOW HOWEVER THAT
WHEN YOU GO HELP. YOU'RE
PROBABLY GOING TO NEED HELP IN
THE FUTURE AND IT'S THAT WIN WIN
THAT THAT MUTUAL AID SUPPORT.
THAT NEIGHBOR HELPING NEIGHBOR
BENEFITS EVERYBODY BUT
ULTIMATELY THE FIRE CHIEF MAKES
THAT DECISION. DO WE RESPOND ON
MUTUAL AID OR DO WE HAVE A
THREATEN HOME WHERE WE NEED TO
STAY BACK AND WHAT WE SEE HERE
IN CALIFORNIA IS. THIS THIS
UNPRECEDENTED CLIMATE CHANGE
WITH A FIRE SEASON THAT
STATEWIDE- IT DOES BECOME
CHALLENGING AND THAT'S WHERE WE
GET ON THE PHONE AND WE TALKED
TO OUR MUTUAL AID PARTNERS. AND
WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
UNDERSTANDING THEIR NEEDS.
TRYING TO PLAN OUT NOT TODAY OR
TOMORROW BUT INTO YOU KNOW A
WEEK OR TWO WEEKS OUT IN FRONT
BECAUSE THESE FIRES JUST DON'T
GO OUT- IT IS A CHALLENGE BUT WE
CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH OUR
VARIOUS- SYSTEMS SUCH AS FIRE
SCOPE. TO MAKE SURE WE ARE
DELIVERING THE BEST SERVICE
POSSIBLE TO THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA. THERE ARE ALSO SAY
THAT JUST DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL
OF STAFFING- THAT LEFT THE HOME
FRONT FIRE CHIEF MAY DECIDE TO
UP STAFF TO REPLACE THOSE-
ENGINES THAT ARE GONE AND SO
THEY MAY NOT BE A GAP OTHER IT
APPEARS TO BE ON. ALSO IN IN
YOUR AREA WE HAVEN'T FULLY
IMPLEMENTED NEXT GENERATION- ONE
IN SACRAMENTO AND WHEN YOU SEE
THAT COME IN YOU'RE GOING TO
SEE- NEW TECHNOLOGY WE WERE
BASICALLY DEAL WITH NINETEEN
FIFTIES AND SIXTIES TECHNOLOGY
RIGHT NOW WITH LEVEL ONE SO.
WE'RE WE'RE GONNA SEE NEW
TECHNOLOGY WE'RE GONNA SEE
BETTER- GEO INFORMATION TO HELP
RESPOND OR SO- I CAN JUST SAY AS
WE CONTINUE ON THE NEXT GEN NINE
ONE ONE PATH- THERE IS GOING TO
BE SOME ENHANCEMENTS OR THAT YOU
SHOULD SEE IT SHOULD BE HAPPY
YEAH MAYBE YOU CAN COME TALK TO
ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT I'D
LOVE TO LEARN MORE AND- JUST TO
BE CLEAR AT. SACRAMENTO IS A
GOOD ACTOR THEY LOVE TO RESPOND
TO THE MUTUAL AID CALLS AND I'M
PROUD OF THEM FOR DOING SO I
JUST AS YOU'RE TALKING UP ALL I
CAN HEAR IN THE BACK OF MY LOCAL
MIND IS MANDATORY OVERTIME SO. I
APPRECIATE YOU THOUGH THANK YOU
. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE. WITHOUT GETTING INTO ANY
HISTORY OR ANYTHING I JUST WANT
TO SAY. IT IS REALLY REFRESHING
TO SEE YOUR TO ORGANIZATIONS.
WORKING SEAMLESSLY TOGETHER.
IT'S A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO-
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND WE
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. YOU
CAN KEEP YOUR- OKAY WILL NOW
MOVE TO OUR FINAL PANEL FOR THE
FRONT LINE PERSPECTIVE- PLEASE
COME FORWARD AND IDENTIFY YOUR
NAME AND ORGANIZATION. AND
PROCEED THROUGH THE GENDER. WHEN
YOU'RE READY. THANKS FOR YOUR
PATIENCE AND WAITING.
GOOD MORNING CHAIR GOOD MORNING
THIS YEAR AND COMMITTEE- MY NAME
IS JONATHAN WITH MY MOM WITH
SENDING GAS ELECTRIC I'M THE
DIRECTOR OF WILD FAMILY GEISHA
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT WITH THE
COMPANY. I AM HAPPY TO BE HERE
AND THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY HERE IN
THIS COMMITTEE. I WANTED TO
REPRESENT TO THE JOURNEY THAT
ESTY GENIE CENTER GOT SELECTED
HAS TAKEN. OVER THE LAST FIFTEEN
YEARS SINCE THE TWO THOUSAND
SEVEN FIRES WHICH DEVASTATED ARE
COUNTY- BACK THEN. AND WE'VE
LEARNED A LOT WE'VE COME A LONG
WAY SINCE THEN AND IT'S- BEEN
THROUGH PREPARING PREVENTING AND
PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY. AND
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT
WE'VE LEVERAGED COURSES
TECHNOLOGY AND SOME OF THAT
TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT I WANTED TO
SHARE WITH YOU THIS MORNING. IT
STARTS WITH SITUATIONAL
AWARENESS AND AS WE'VE HEARD
FROM CAL FIRE AND OTHERS IT IS
INDEED A KEY TOOL FOR US IT IS A
WAY FOR US TO KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING OUT THERE AND GET
UNDERSTANDING OF THE ENVIRONMENT
BEFORE WE CAN ACT. AND SO BACK
IN THE EARLY DAYS- STARTING
ABOUT TWO THOUSAND TEN WE HARD
NEUROLOGISTS TO BE BROUGHT IN
FIRE SCIENCE EXPERTS WE ALSO
DEVELOPED AN EXPANSIVE WEATHER
STATION NETWORK ALONG WITH
CAMERA NETWORK THAT HELPS US.
WITH THAT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS.
AND SO WE DEVELOPED NOT ONLY THE
TOOLS AND THE AND THE VIEW AND
THE WAY TO LOOK AT THE SITUATION
BUT ALSO THE WAY THAT MEASURE
THINGS AND PUT INDEX OUT THERE
THE FILE POTENTIAL INDEX IN
PARTICULAR. WAS A TECHNOLOGY
THAT WE'VE LEVERAGED AND SENT
THE SANTA ANA WILDFIRE THREAT
INDEX AND WHAT THESE TWO INDEXES
HELP US TO DO. IS TO REALLY
GAUGE THE LEVEL OF THREAT FROM
WILDFIRE RISK AND BE ABLE TO
MITIGATE AGAINST THAT AND
PREPARE. NOT ONLY OURSELVES BUT
ALSO OUR COMMUNITY. AND SO.
TWICE DAILY RUN. THE WEATHER
NETWORK INFORMATION THAT WE
GATHER. THROUGH OUR SUPER
COMPUTERS. TO REALLY FORECAST
WHAT THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE
DOING. AND THAT'S ONE WAY THAT
WE PREPARE. THE OTHER WAY THAT
WE DO THAT IS BY THE REIMERS
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND ARMORS
MANAGEMENT GROUP LOOKS LEVERAGES
THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM. AND
HELPS NOT ONLY A PREPARE
EMPLOYEES BUT COLLABORATES WITH
COMMUNITY SAFETY PARTNERS. TO
PREPARE CROSS OUR COMMUNITY SO
THAT WE'RE READY FOR EACH SANTA
ANA WIND. CONDITIONS WE ALSO
LEVERAGE THE COLLABORATION WITH
THE THAT WITH ACADEMIA AND BEING
ABLE TO- USE TECHNOLOGY TO GO TO
THAT NEXT LEVEL AND USE AI. TO
UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN BETTER
FORECAST OUR WEATHER. AND OUR
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
CAPABILITIES HAVE GROWN TO THE
POINT WHERE ARE A IS FAIRLY
ACCURATE TO THE REAL CONDITIONS
AND RULES REAL TIME SITUATIONS.
AVACTA THERE'S BEEN SO MANY
TIMES WHO'VE LOOKED AT OUR SANTA
ANA WIND CONDITIONS AND THE A.
I. COMPARED TO BE JUST RIGHT NOT
AND IT'S BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE IN
HELPING US MANAGE. AND ALSO
PREPARE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT
COMMUNITIES CAN BE IMPACTED AND
GIVEN THE PROPER NOTIFICATIONS
AND PROPER PREPARATION AHEAD OF
TIME SO THAT COMMUNITIES ARE
BETTER KIND OF SET UP FOR SAFETY
. AND THAT PREVENTION AREA WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO REALLY LEVERAGE OUR
ABILITY TO DO USE DRONES FOR
INSPECTIONS ON THAT TECHNOLOGY
HAS REALLY GONE BEYOND JUST
USING THE CLOSE UP VIEW THAT
DRONES CAN GIVE YOU. THROUGH THE
CAMERAS AND HIGH QUALITY IMAGES
BUT ALSO TO USE ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE TO TAKE THOSE
MILLIONS OF IMAGES THAT WE'VE
GATHERED OVER OUR INSPECTIONS IN
THE LAST THREE YEARS. WE'VE
INSPECTED OVER EIGHTY THOUSAND
POLES GATHERED ABOUT TWO MILLION
IMAGES AND USING THAT. PROVIDED
MACHINE LEARNING TO COMPUTERS
WHERE THE MACHINES ARE NOW
DETECTING ISSUES WE CAN EVEN
DETECT A LOOSE BOLT ON A POLE.
AND SO WITH THAT CAPABILITY 85%
ACCURACY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
HELP. KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE
BUT ALSO FIND AND REPLACE
EQUIPMENT THAT HOUSE PROBLEMS-
THIS WAS ALSO TAKEN US TO THE-
TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF
NOTIFICATIONS RIGHT THROUGH OUR
PS PS OUT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
POWER SET OFF. UP TO OUR
COMMUNITY SAFETY PARTNERS TO
HELP TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANIES
AND OTHERS PREPARE AHEAD OF TIME
RIGHT WITH GENERATORS AND THINGS
LIKE THAT. TO BE ABLE TO
EFFECTIVELY THAN A MITIGATE
AGAINST PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUT
OFFS RIGHT AND THE IMPACTS THAT
THAT CAN BRING. A RISK MODELS
HAVE ALSO BENEFITED FROM THE
INFORMATION WE GATHER FROM THIS
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS FROM THE
ASSETS YOU KNOW FROM OUR DOORS
FRACTIONS. AND INCLUDING THAT
THE MODEL SO WHEN WE HAVE OUR
RISK MODELS THAT ARE LEVERAGING
THE TECHNO CIVIL MODEL WHICH BY
THE WAY WE WERE THE FIRST TO
BRING IN TECHNO SILVA. BACK IN
TWENTY THIRTEEN AND LEVERAGE
THAT- TOOL THAT TECHNO SO
DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY WITH US
AND FOR US TO THEN SHARED WITH
THE STATE WE WANT TO HAVE THIS
TRANSPARENT. CAPABILITY OF
SHERRY WEATHER INFORMATION. AS
WELL AS RISK MODEL INFORMATION
UNDERSTANDING FIRE PROPAGATION
WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN BUT EVEN
BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO BE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND HOW FIRE BEHAVIOR.
CAN COME OUT OF ANY ISSUES THAT
COME OUT FROM UTILITY
INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO THAT HAS
HELPED US TO PRIORITIZE. OUR
LEARNINGS FROM THE A. ISLANDS
FROM THE SITUATION AWARENESS OUR
LEARNINGS FROM THIS THE
INSPECTIONS AS HELP JUST
PRIORITIZE WHERE TO HARDEN OUR
ASSETS ARE GREAT BASICALLY. AND
THAT HAS LED US TO MORE A SHIFT
FROM OUR ASSET REPLACEMENT
PROGRAM THAT WE HAD WHERE WE
WERE PLACING. OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
FROM THERE WHY TO LARGER BALAK.
TO COVER CONDUCTOR BUT ALSO TO
MORE UNDERGROUND. WE'RE SHIFTING
TO WANDER AROUND BECAUSE WE WANT
TO REDUCE WILDFIRE RISK AT A
HIGHER RATE. BUT ALSO TO PREVENT
THE IMPACTS OF PUBLIC SAFETY
POWER SHUT OFFS AND REALLY
TRYING TO GET RID OF THAT. FOR
THE IMPACT THAT HAS ON OUR
COMMUNITIES. AND SO WITH. THESE
ADVANCEMENTS IT THAT IT HAS A
LOT OF PLAN. YOUR PLAN THE WAY
WE'RE GOING TO UNDERGROUND
FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES. AND THE
NEXT TEN YEARS AND THE THREE
UNDERSTANDING MILES MILES OF
COVER CONDUCTOR. AND SO WITH
THAT WE HOPE TO HAVE. EIGHTY
PLUS PERCENT REDUCTION WILDFIRE
RISK. AND THAT'S OUR GOAL. WE
HAVE A HIGHLY IMPACTFUL
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
THAT'S THAT STARTED IN THE
NINETIES. AND- WE HAVE ABOUT
FOUR HUNDRED OUTAGES OR FOUR
HUNDRED- CONTACTS FROM THE TREES
TO IN ON A POWER LINES THAT
CAUSED ISSUES ON OUR
TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRIC
DISTRIBUTION LINES. AND NOW IT'S
AT FIFTEEN PER YEAR ON AVERAGE.
AND SELL IT ALL OVER TIME.
LOOKING AT WHAT WE CAN DO WITH
OUR A. I. AND OUR DISTRIBUTION
DATABASE THAT HOUSE VEGETATION
INVENTORY OF ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED
SEVENTY THOUSAND TREES. WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO- AND LOOK AT GROWTH
RATE OF THE TREES THE SPECIES.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID LAST WHEN
WAS THE LAST ISSUE THAT WE HAVE
THE THREE WHEN WAS IT LAST IN
CONTACT WITH ELECTRIC LINE. AND
BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ALL OF THAT
AND PUT A RISK BASED APPROACH SO
NOW NOT ONLY DO WE INSPECT EVERY
INVENTORY TREE THAT WE HAVE IN
OUR DATABASE EVERY YEAR. BUT
TWICE A YEAR IN THE HI FI THIRD
DISTRICT SOLD OVER TWO HUNDRED
THIRTY THOUSAND TREES TWICE A
YEAR. BEFORE SANTA ANA WIND
CONDITIONS PEAK IN SEPTEMBER AND
SO ARE ABLE TO THEN HAVE
ADDITIONAL MITIGATION AGAINST
WILDFIRE RISK. AND SO. WE TALKED
WEEK WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT
HELICOPTERS EARLIER- WHEN WE
WHEN WE LOOK AT HOW WE PROTECT
OUR COMMUNITY HELICOPTERS WERE
KEY AND WE LEARNED THAT FROM A
TWO THOUSAND THREE FIRE. IN A
TWO THOUSAND SEVEN FIVE. AND WE
HAVE THE LARGEST HELICOPTER THE
AIR CRANE WHICH CAN HOLD ABOUT
TWENTY NINE HUNDRED GALLONS OF
WATER. AND WITH THAT CAPABILITY
WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE THAT
RESOURCE. OUT OUT. DISPATCHED
OUT TO THE VARIOUS AREAS WHEN
THE NEED ARISES AS WELL AS THE
FIRE HAWK THAT WAS MENTIONED
EARLIER AS WE ABOUT THREE
HELICOPTERS THAT WE- CAN DEPLOY-
FOR RESOURCES THAT ARE WHEN THEY
ARE NEEDED. AS WELL AS THE A. I.
IT ME- THAT'S INTEGRATED NOT
CAMERAS. THAT'S ABLE TO WITH THE
TECHNOLOGIST AND THAT'S THERE
TODAY. TO THEN DETECT SMOKE AS
WAS MENTIONED EARLIER FROM CAL
FIRE BUT ALSO. THE SATELLITE
TECHNOLOGY IS ABLE TO WORK ALONG
WITH IT AND FOR IT CAMERAS AND
TRIANGULATE THE LOCATION AND
MORE ACCURATELY SHOW. WHERE
FIRES HAVE STARTED BEFORE THEY
GET BIG. AND THEREFORE. NOT ONLY
HELPS US TO DISPATCH I RESOURCES
BUT HELPS. THE PART COMMUNITY
SAFETY PARTNERS LIKE CALFIRE
LIKE OTHER FIRE AGENCIES TO GET
OUT THESE SITUATIONS FASTER AND
ACT MORE QUICKLY. AND SO. WITH
ALL OF THIS IT'S. REALLY SHOWN
TO BE PUT FACTOR WE HAVEN'T HAD
WHILE. THAT CAST OFF WEALTH
SINCE THOUSAND- COURSE WE REMAIN
HUMBLE READ WE DO NOT WANT TO
CHALLENGE MOTHER NATURE RIGHT
SO- WE CONTINUE THOUGH TO LOOK
FOR IMPROVEMENTS WE CONTINUE TO
LEARN FROM OTHERS. WE PARTNER
WITH A COMMUNITY SAFETY PARTNERS
AND WE HAVE SEEN A REDUCTION OF
ABOUT EIGHTY FOUR PERCENT. ON A
TRANSMISSION FALLS AND 45% FROM
OUR DISTRIBUTION LINES WHEN IT
COMES TO WILDFIRE RISK. AND SO
WE CONTINUE TO NOW LOOK AT THE
NEXT LEVEL THAT WE CAN DO WITH
TECHNOLOGY AND THE THAT THAT HAS
TO DO WITH TRYING TO GET HAD OF.
THE RICH TRYING USE RISK BASED
APPROACH FOR INSPECTIONS
RESPECTS APPROACH FOR OUR
RESPONSE AS WELL AS LOOKING AT
WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN LEVERAGE
BETTER COMMUNICATION. LIKE A
PRIVATE LTE NETWORK WITHIN OUR
SYSTEM. THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IN THE
AISLE AND THERE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH WELL DONE. SIR BUT VICE
CHAIR AND DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THE
IMPACTS OF YOUR PASSED
LEGISLATION. I'LL BE FOCUSING
MORE ON SENATE BILL- SEVEN
NINETY FOUR- THE SUBJECT IS VERY
DEAR AND NEAR TO THE- HEARTS OF
THE RESIDENTS OF SONOMA COUNTY.
AND ME PROFESSIONALLY MY NAME IS
SAM WALLACE- I AM THE COMMUNITY
ALERT WARNING MANAGER- FOR THE
SONOMA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. OF
FOLLOWING THE WINE COUNTRY
FIRESTORMS OF OCTOBER TWENTY
SEVENTEEN THE COUNTY OF SONOMA-
SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC LOSS WITH
NEARLY SEVEN THOUSAND STRUCTURES
DESTROYED AND TWENTY TWO LIVES
LOST- ARE ALERT AND WARNING
PROGRAM. IS PROBABLY ON PAR WITH
MOST COUNTIES IN THE STATE AT
THE TIME- BUT IT PERFORMED
INADEQUATELY- I WOULD LIKE TO
TAKE A MOMENT- AND LYFT SIDES
COME UP HERE. OF TO GO OVER
BRIEFLY THE LATE MORNING
PROGRAM- THAT WE HAD SO I CAN-
PUT HOW WE THIS LAW ACTIVELY-
PROVES OUR ABILITY TO ALERT INTO
SOME CONTEXT. AND SHOW HOW IT
MIGHT BE IMPROVE SOME MORE- LIKE
MOST COUNTIES- WE HAD SEVERAL
SYSTEMS- THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO
US- DISPOSAL BY CHOICE- IN
POLICY OUR PRIMARY SYSTEM WAS A
REVERSE NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM
CALLED LOCALLY. CHAU KOHLER
USING A VENDOR'S PLATFORM CALLED
CODE RED- THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS-
BY THE USING OF A DATABASE OF
ADDRESSES AND PHONE NUMBERS.
ALLOWING US TO GEO TARGET-
ALERTS WITH ACCURACY. ALTHOUGH
SOCO ALERTS CAN SEND TEXT
MESSAGES AND EMAILS THE IMMENSE
VALUE OF THE SYSTEM AS WE
LEARNED IN THE THOSE FIRES IS
OUR ABILITY TO HAVE PHONES RANG.
AND SEND RECORDED MESSAGE OUR
ABILITY TO DO THIS EFFECTIVELY
WHEN PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO LIFE
SAFETY. A TEXT OR AN EMAIL
SIMPLY WON'T WAKE ANYBODY UP. WE
HAVE ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT- WE
USED AT THE SAME TIME YOUR EMAIL
BE FAMILIAR WITH THAT NEXT ROLE
AS WELL AS SOCIAL MEDIA. AND
THEY'RE ALL GOOD SYSTEMS FOR
GETTING OUT INFORMATION BUT THEY
ALL HAVE THE SAME FLAW- THEY
DON'T WAKE ANYBODY UP BUT
NOBODY'S EVER BEEN WOKEN UP BY
AN EXCELL. OUR PROGRAM RELIES ON
EXCELLENT SOCIAL MEDIA TO
AMPLIFY AND CLARIFY OUR INITIAL
ALERTS BUT IT ISN'T OUR PRIMARY
SYSTEM SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THAT-
ISSUE- THERE HAS BEEN SOME
DISCUSSION HERE ABOUT- A CAKE
KEY SYSTEM THAT WE DID NOT USE
DURING TWENTY SEVENTEEN
WILDFIRES THAT WE DO NOW. AND
THAT IS THE FEDERAL INTEGRATED
PUBLIC ALERT AND WARNING SYSTEM
WHERE I PAUSE- HYPOTHESIS
ACTUALLY SEVERAL INTERCONNECTED
SYSTEMS- YOU'RE PROBABLY MOST
FAMILIAR WITH THE WIRELESS
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM IS
BROUGHT UP- BEEN BROUGHT UP-
HERE TWICE TODAY. WERE WE HAVE-
BASICALLY IT'S AMBER ALERTS- AND
IT IS A GOOD SYSTEM- WE
ABSOLUTELY USE IT- THERE ARE
SOME CHALLENGES WITH LEAH- IT IS
PROPOSED THAT- THAT GETS A HOLD
OF ALL PEOPLE WITH CELLPHONES IN
THE AREA. OR TESTING- DOESN'T
SUPPORT THAT- IT- DEPENDING ON
WHERE IT IS IT MAY BE A LOWER
PERCENTAGE OF THAT AND I DON'T
SAY THAT TO DENIGRATE- THE WE
HAVE SYSTEM IS AN EXCELLENT ONE-
BUT WHAT IT DOES TELL US IS. NO
ONE SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE ABLE
TO COMMUNICATE WITH A 100% OF
THE- THE POPULATION. SO WE USE
WE A- DURING DISASTERS BUT WE
ALSO USE OUR OWN HOME GROWN
SYSTEM- OTHER SYSTEMS THAT WE
HAVE- IN THE- I PAUSE SYSTEM
YOU'RE ALL. VERY FAMILIAR WITH
I'M SURE THE EMERGENCY ALERT
SYSTEM- SENDING OUT THOSE TONES
OVER UP RADIOS AND TELEVISIONS
AGAIN A GOOD SYSTEM FOR US TO
GET INFORMATION OUT. BUT NOT A
GOOD ALERT AND WARNING SYSTEM AS
FAR AS WAKING PEOPLE UP AND LETS
YOU HAPPEN TO BE SLEEPING WITH
YOUR TELEVISION ON- VIEW ALSO
MAYOR MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH
THE NOAA WEATHER RADIO SYSTEM-
THIS IS ACTUALLY A FAIRLY. OLD
SYSTEM- IT'S BEEN IN USE IN THE
MIDWEST PRIMARILY FOR TORNADO-
RESPONSE. AND FOR THE LAST
THIRTY PLUS YEARS- WE HAVE
LEANED HEAVILY ON IT- IN SONOMA
COUNTY. AS AN AUXILIARY
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM- BASICALLY
ALLOWS US TO- TURN ON A RADIO IN
SOMEBODY'S HOME- WITH A LOUD
ALARM. AND GIVE THEM SOME BASIC
INFORMATION- WE AIM TOWARDS THIS
BECAUSE WHAT WE REALIZED- DURING
THE NUNS TUBBS FIRE AND TWENTY
SEVENTEEN. IS THAT THE-
TELEPHONE SYSTEM MAY NOT BE.
ABLE TO PERFORM IN A LARGE SCALE
DISASTER WE LOST SEVENTY TWO
CELL PHONE TOWERS DURING THAT-
WILDFIRE. SO THIS GIVES US AN
ABILITY TO SEND OUT ALERTS-
ABOVE AND BEYOND- WHAT WE CAN DO
WITH THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM. BUT
WITH ALL THAT WHAT I WOULD LIKE
TO DO IS GO BACK TO THAT KEY
SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE IN SOCO
ALERT AND- WRAP THIS ROUND ABOUT
HOW IT AFFECTS HER HUSBAND
AFFECTED- BY THE PASSAGE OF A
SUN SEVEN NINETY FOUR. AND AS A
REMINDER OF WHAT- SEVEN NINETY
FOUR- DID IS ALLOW US TO GO TO
PUBLIC UTILITIES AND GET-
CUSTOMER SERVICE DATABASES. SO
BASICALLY THEIR ADDRESSES AND
THEIR PHONE NUMBERS WHICH IS
WHAT WE NEED FOR THE SYSTEM. SO
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU- THIS-
HIGHLIGHTED- AREA RIGHT HERE
THIS IS A- ACTUAL ALERT THAT
WENT OUT- DURING THAT- NUNS
TUBBS FIRE. AT ABOUT- THREE IN
THE MORNING- TO A VERY LARGE
PART OF THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ROSA- IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN. WE TARGETED SEVEN
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
SEVEN PHONE NUMBERS- FOR THAT
AREA. NOW TO PUT THIS IN PER- TO
GIVE YOU A REASON WHY THAT IS
THAT AT THE TIME WE RE DOING-
USING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY- LAN
LINE DATABASES FROM EIGHTEEN T.
WHICH WE PURCHASE ON ANNUAL
BASIS. WELL THE PROBLEM IS THAT-
LAND LINES HAVE BEEN DYING OFF-
THERE BEING MUCH REDUCED. SO NOW
LET ME SHOW YOU THE NUMBER THAT
WE GET WHEN WE INCLUDE THE-
PRIMARILY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE
DATABASE FROM THE UTILITIES AS
WELL AS OF. A FEW OTHERS OF
PEOPLE OPTING IN TODAY IF WE DO
THAT SAME AREA IS TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
SIX PHONE NUMBERS. SO THIS IS
MORE THAN A 2100% INCREASE
OBVIOUSLY AND- IN THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR DATABASE
BECAUSE OF THAT- BUT I ALSO WANT
TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER- KIND OF
VIEWPOINT ON THAT RATHER THAN
RAW NUMBERS SO THAT YOU CAN ALSO
PUT IN PERSPECTIVE- THIS. AREA
RIGHT HERE IS ONE BLOCK OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ROSA- YOU CAN SEE
HOPEFULLY ON THE OUTLINE ALL THE
STRUCTURES THERE THERE'S
APPROXIMATELY FIFTY FOUR
STRUCTURES THAT ARE ON HERE.
EACH ONE OF THOSE DOTS
REPRESENTS A PHONE NUMBER OR
MULTIPLE PHONE NUMBERS THAT WE
HAVE FOR THAT SPECIFIC
STRUCTURE- IN THIS CASE AS YOU
CAN SEE. WE ONLY HAVE SEVEN
STRUCTURES THAT HAVE A PHONE
NUMBER- IN FOURTEEN FOUR NUMBERS
TOTAL- IN THAT OF THAT IS FROM
THE NINE ONE ONE DATABASE. WHICH
IS- BASICALLY YOUR AT&T LAND
LINE DATABASE AND AS YOU CAN SEE
THAT'S WHOLLY INSUFFICIENT. WANT
TO SHOW YOU THAT SAME BLOCK ONCE
WE INCORPORATE- THE E. NINE ONE
ONE THE COMCAST. LOCAL UTILITIES
AND PG&E- BASICALLY EVERY
STRUCTURE AT THAT POINT WE HAVE
A PHONE NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH-
THAT AREA- OF. CITIES ARE GOOD I
WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT IF I MAY
TO ACTUALLY SHOW YOU THE SAME
THING. OUT IN A RURAL AREA AND
IN MY OPINION THIS IS ACTUALLY
MORE IMPORTANT- RULE AREAS FOR
INSTANCE- THAT PREVIOUS ONE THAT
I SENT YOU ALSO USE THE DATABASE
FROM- THE- LOCAL WATER AGENCY.
YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A
WATER AGENCY IN A RURAL AREA-
THIS IS AN AREA JUST OUTSIDE OF-
BUT DIG A BAY- UNEQUIPPED. SKEWS
ME ON CORPORATE SONOMA COUNTY-
FOR THIS PARTICULAR AREA WE HAD
TO TWENTY EIGHT- PHONE NUMBERS-
THAT WERE ABLE TO- REACH WITH
USING LANDLINE DATABASE. BUT
WHEN WE INCORPORATE PG&E IT GOES
UP TO A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX-
SO AS YOU CAN TELL THERE IS A-
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE
EFFICACY. OF THESE SYSTEMS- ONCE
WERE ABLE TO- INCORPORATE. THAT
UTILITY DATABASE- SO UP PLEASE
ALLOW ME TO- SUMMARIZE THAT TO
MY ASSIST MISSION THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR ALERT
WARNING SYSTEMS. HAS BEEN
DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED BY THE USE
OF THE SB SEVEN NINETY FOUR LAW.
HOWEVER SONORA COUNTY HAS BEEN
FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE RESOURCES
AND THE DRIVE- TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THIS LAW. OF MANY OF MY
COLLEAGUES ESPECIALLY IN SMALLER
COUNTIES- HAVEN'T BEEN AS
FORTUNATE- LOOKING FORWARD IN
THE NEAR FUTURE TO WORKING WITH
THE- CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES AND THE
CALIFORNIA MERCY SERVICES
ASSOCIATION. TO PROPOSE SOME
POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THIS CODE
THAT WOULD RESULT IN A
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT TO BUILD
ON WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN VERY
EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION. OF THE
COUNTY OF SONOMA APPRECIATES THE
COMMITTEE'S INTEREST IN EFFORTS
TO ADDRESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
YOUR LEGISLATION ON PUBLIC
SAFETY. I THANK YOU AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO ANSWERING YOUR
QUESTIONS THANKS TO BOTH THE
FURTHEST I MEAN JUST GREAT
INFORMATION- WE'VE GOT ABOUT TEN
MINUTES FOR QUESTIONS. AND
PUBLIC COMMENTS SO WE'VE GOT TO
GO TO- AKAKA'S MADE THAT'S-
SENATOR RUBY. KISSIMMEE YES LOOK
YOU VERY MUCH AND THE FOR THIS
PRESENTATION. AND YOU CLEARLY
HIGHLIGHTED ALL THE SYSTEMS ARE
YOU SEEN TO IMPROVE FILE IN THE
I GUESS HALF REACHING EVERYONE
IN THAT COMMUNITY OR ANY
COMMUNITY FOR THAT MATTER BUT I
HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU I KNOW
THAT IT'S A MATTER OF USING ALL
SYSTEMS TOGETHER VERSUS ONE OR
THE OTHER IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT'S IN THE WORKS THAT YOU
MIGHT OF. THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT
THAT YOU'VE HEARD AT THAT
CREEPING DEVELOP THAT WOULD TAKE
THE PLACE OF ALL THESE DIFFERENT
SYSTEMS THAT MIGHT WORK IS OR
SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE IT. ON
OUR RADAR OR PERHAPS WE SHOULD
BE LOOKING INTO. I WOULD NOT
REALLY AWARE OF ANYTHING
THERE'S- THERE'S REALLY A WHOLE
BUNCH OF DIFFERENT SYSTEMS
APPLICATIONS THAT SORT OF THING-
BUT THERE'S NO REALLY ONE. ONE
SYSTEM THAT- IS TRYING TO BRING
IT ALL TOGETHER AT THIS POINT-
AND UNFORTUNATELY THE NATURE OF
TECHNOLOGY- EVERYBODY GETS THEIR
INFORMATION THEIR OWN WAY. UP
SOME PEOPLE OF SMARTPHONES- SOME
PEOPLE HAVE OPTED FOR FLIP
PHONES SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL
HOLDING ON TO THEIR LAND- BUT
THE BEST CHANCE THAT I HAVE IS-
GETTING. THE DATA- IF YOU WILL
THAT ALLOWS ME TO COMMUNICATE
WITH EVERYBODY LIKE THAT.
CATATAN WOULD TO SAVE THAT THERE
IS SOMETHING OUT THERE WHENEVER
YOU HEAR ABOUT IT WE'D LIKE TO
KNOW ABOUT IT THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR THANK YOU FOR THAT THANK
YOU SIR. SO REVEREND GILL. I
JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR
HIGHLIGHTING- THE OPPORTUNITIES
TO IMPROVE- ARE LEGISLATION TO
SUPPORT SMALL WORLD COMMUNITIES-
AND I WOULD LOVE TO FOLLOW UP
WITH YOU AFTERWARDS TO AND HEAR
MORE ABOUT. WHAT YOUR
SUGGESTIONS ARE FOR SMALL WORLD
COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU SHERMAN.
SO I I'D CERTAINLY APPRECIATE-
YOU KNOW BEING. REPRESENTING
ABOUT THE LOWER THIRD STOMACH
COUNTY- THE WHERE WHAT HAPPENED
IN TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN. THE
PROGRESS THAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE
TO MAKE OVER THERE. DO YOU FEEL
LIKE- WHAT'S- IT APPEARED TO ME
THAT- YOU KNOW THE- THE NUMBER
OF LIVES THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW
BUT WE STILL HAVE THE SITUATION.
OF ARE PEOPLE REPORTED THEIR
CELL PHONES. ALL THE TIME OR THE
- HOW EFFECTIVE IS IT. REALLY AT
THE END OF THE DAY YOU GOT MORE
PEOPLE SO YOU'RE CONTACTED MORE.
THAT'S OBVIOUSLY OUT STEADY BUT
AT THE END OF THE DAY. WHAT
PERCENTAGE OF THE OF THE
POPULATION WE ARE CONTACT.
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION SENATOR
AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT- I
GRAPPLE WITH- TRYING TO FIND OUT
EXACTLY HOW EFFECTIVE OUR
SYSTEMS ARE- WE DO WE'RE KIND OF
UNUSUAL I THINK IN SONOMA
COUNTY- SIMPLY BECAUSE OF WHAT
HAPPENED DURING NUNS TUBBS IS
THAT WE DO A LOT OF- TESTING
OVER ALERT WARNING SYSTEMS. IN
FACT IN TWO DAYS I'M DOING A
ALIVE A TEST OF THE CIRCLE-
SYSTEM- FOR THE NORTHWEST CORNER
OF OUR COUNTY- BUT THE CHALLENGE
ALWAYS IS WE DON'T KNOW HOW
EFFECTIVE- EVERYTHING IS IT
GROUND TROOPS AND- I'VE HAVE
BEEN TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE
SYSTEM- WHERE WE ACTUALLY GO OUT
INTO- THE COMMUNITY- COMPARE
WHAT OUR DATABASES- TO WHAT'S
ACTUALLY ON THE GROUND- BUT- IT
IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I
DON'T HAVE A HUNDRED PERCENT-
SHRUTI OF WHERE WE ARE. I KNOW
THAT- BASED ON MY TESTING THAT
I'M LOOKING AT- 8286%
EFFICIENCY- WHICH IS A MUCH
BETTER THAN WHAT WE USED TO
HAVE- BUT WE'RE TRYING
CONSTANTLY TO GET TO THAT 100%
GUYS LIKE THE THAT HAVE THIS IS
FAR AWAY FROM THEIR BAD AS
POSSIBLE. THE DEBRIS BANK- WHAT
WE'RE DOING I'M THINKING. I
THANK YOU VERY MUCH YEAH- I WILL
TELL YOU THAT S. D. G. B. YOU

OF LEGISLATION THAT I PUT
