28
00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:33.780
Margaret Vinci: Safe at Home. And of course, the world of zoom. So all of this kind of working through this so excuse if we make any errors today. This is all new

29
00:05:34.410 --> 00:05:46.560
Margaret Vinci: But we wanted to keep all of our ECA associates associates connected as a big part of the earthquake country alliance is our networking, being able to work together, being able to share ideas what we're doing.

30
00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:55.530
Margaret Vinci: For the ECA that then go ahead and create resources that you can use in your environment. And so we wanted to keep that going. Even in this world of coconut

31
00:05:55.980 --> 00:06:05.790
Margaret Vinci: That we hope the information that we will be sharing with you today is going to be informative and useful for all of you to continue to Sister communities and to making us all disaster resilience

32
00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:08.250
Margaret Vinci: Tidy

33
00:06:09.390 --> 00:06:20.220
Heidi Rosofsky: And I'm Heidi resolve ski. Obviously I echo what what Margaret had to say. But again, we've all been thinking and have had our eyes focused on the coven and as we all have

34
00:06:20.700 --> 00:06:29.190
Heidi Rosofsky: Been recognizing, you know, in the state. We've been, you know, our governor here in California has also started to speak about wildfires, which

35
00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:39.420
Heidi Rosofsky: We've had enough growth for that to be of great concern this coming year, and the concurrent disaster situation we, you know, seen the earthquake that happened in Las Vegas and

36
00:06:39.900 --> 00:06:46.920
Heidi Rosofsky: We've got a name storm, you know, in the gulf that that has already occurred. So we can't take our eyes off that ball.

37
00:06:47.340 --> 00:07:01.740
Heidi Rosofsky: And we have an opportunity to be able to harness the awareness that people have. And that's one of the things I think we'll be talking about today is how do we how do we

38
00:07:02.460 --> 00:07:21.840
Heidi Rosofsky: Take something that is negative and turn it into a positive to help people become more resilient. So we're very happy to have you all here and we hope we can provide you with a lot of great information that gets the brain cells firing and helps you to look at things with fresh eyes.

39
00:07:23.790 --> 00:07:30.210
Margaret Vinci: Yeah, and I think one of those positives is the communication. I think that the communication during this event has been great.

40
00:07:30.630 --> 00:07:44.760
Margaret Vinci: Both from our, our state leaders, our county leaders, our city leaders are local leaders. And I think that communication has really been great. And this has been I think one of the positives coming out of coven to be able to use this communication to

41
00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:55.170
Margaret Vinci: Make fear a little less impending and to make yourself comfortable as to what our next steps are going to be so our agenda today.

42
00:07:55.830 --> 00:08:03.030
Margaret Vinci: We're going to talk a little bit about what is earthquake country alliance when you have 500 people visiting us today and attendings meeting.

46
00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:41.580

47
00:08:42.330 --> 00:08:47.400
Margaret Vinci: The see disaster or with the DEF and community during out with earthquake preparedness.

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:13.590
Heidi Rosofsky: New. One of the things that, that you may not be used to as some of the

52
00:09:14.790 --> 00:09:24.330
Heidi Rosofsky: Abbreviations and and acronyms and da fn stands for disabilities access and functional needs and we'll get into later as to who that audiences.

53
00:09:24.690 --> 00:09:33.330
Heidi Rosofsky: So if you hear something that you don't know or don't understand, you know, jot it down into the chat room or something, it may be something that can be answered rapidly.

54
00:09:35.520 --> 00:09:36.840
Heidi Rosofsky: So back to you ever

Heidi Rosofsky: Are you clicking room I

57
00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:46.920
Margaret Vinci: Think you

58
00:09:47.610 --> 00:10:10.080
Heidi Rosofsky: Okay so earthquake country alliance as a brainchild of some folks who decided that in 2003 that we really needed to expand the ability of reaching people and really coming together and harnessing all of the groups that were trying to prepare for an earthquake here and in California.

59
00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:18.540
Heidi Rosofsky: And then after in 2009 after first shakeout it really kind of started to blow.

60
00:10:19.590 --> 00:10:30.030
Heidi Rosofsky: We have 1500 plus public, private, and grassroots leaders who come together and work on different projects and are involved in the ShakeOut the Great ShakeOut

61
00:10:30.690 --> 00:10:42.330
Heidi Rosofsky: Who share resources and best practices. And so it's a great place to come for defined the bat that better mousetrap. We have statewide sector based committees, where

62
00:10:42.750 --> 00:10:57.210
Heidi Rosofsky: We take a look at what people are doing and see, you know, look at it in the broader picture and what can we do to make sure that we can disseminate you know that better information incorporated in adapt it to

63
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:08.460
Heidi Rosofsky: whatever's going on update it. So there's a lot of committees going on that are are are working, somebody is moving the slides and I was out

64
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.220

Heidi Rosofsky: And then

67
00:11:18.090 --> 00:11:30.300
Heidi Rosofsky: And then we have the regional alliances and local events and outreach campaigns. And a lot of our support comes from the California Office of Emergency Services, without whom we would not be able to do a lot of the things that we do.

68
00:11:32.130 --> 00:11:34.740
Heidi Rosofsky: Okay, so, Margaret. I think it's back to you.

Mark Benthien: Let me go ahead and control it for you because I think it was going to quickly.

75
00:11:56.520 --> 00:11:58.230
Margaret Vinci: I think it has a mind of its own.

76
00:11:58.500 --> 00:11:59.340
Heidi Rosofsky: Okay, yeah, I was

77
00:11:59.550 --> 00:12:00.690

86
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:14.550
Margaret Vinci: Normally we try to have those in different areas of southern California. So it will accommodate everybody that they don't have to drive too far at least once a year.

87
00:13:15.390 --> 00:13:21.900
Margaret Vinci: Right now in the new world of course we're doing this on zoom and may we may go to more workshops on zoom

88
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:27.570
Margaret Vinci: After this, and in kind of working through this and see how it works. So we may start doing some more workshops on zoom

89
00:13:27.930 --> 00:13:34.260
Margaret Vinci: With us. We can be face to face. We do want to also continue those consistent important part, whether it's quite country alliance.

90
00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:46.680
Margaret Vinci: Is our networking, being able to meet other people in our field in able to share ideas. And that's a very important part of our workshops. So we will, as soon as we can and be safe.

91
00:13:47.430 --> 00:13:58.830
Margaret Vinci: Back to doing some of those, but also keeping some of these workshops as well. We also invite you to email us let us know some of the topics that you are interested in

92
00:13:59.520 --> 00:14:08.460
Margaret Vinci: The last year, we did a training with our healthcare partners on how to create an earthquake or a brittle and we hope to do that again this year.

93
00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:13.470
Margaret Vinci: That let us know some of the things that you want to have more information about

94
00:14:13.830 --> 00:14:21.420
Margaret Vinci: And will include that into our workshops. And then, of course, we support the Great ShakeOut we created great checkout at the 2008

95
00:14:21.780 --> 00:14:32.370
Margaret Vinci: That was created by the birthplace of country alliance and so we participate. We encourage and we do media events within the media to highlight many of the events across

96
00:14:33.150 --> 00:14:46.290
Margaret Vinci: Our are actually California and the Pacific Northwest and and United States has to highlighting. Many of the SHAKEDOWN events that are going on so that people can then take that information chair it, bring it back to their organization.

97
00:14:47.520 --> 00:14:56.220
Margaret Vinci: Mark is also going to tell you about all the resources we have available for you to do your own shake out. And, of course, that is something to think about what a shake out in

98
00:14:58.770 --> 00:15:04.020
Margaret Vinci: Look like. It may be different this year. And so that's something we will be thinking about as well.

99
00:15:07.530 --> 00:15:21.060
Heidi Rosofsky: So we do have a different coordinating committees that are committees that are working on many, many things and we have the list that are up there and you can see those a broad level of participation and including

100
00:15:22.530 --> 00:15:38.250
Heidi Rosofsky: I think one of our, our newer additions is Sherry Blankenship from callow as who is a senior Emergency Services Coordinator, and we want to invite you to get in touch with some of our

101
00:15:39.780 --> 00:15:43.170
Heidi Rosofsky: Our coordinators for some of our committees and

102
00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:55.350
Heidi Rosofsky: If it's something that you have an expertise or an interest in to get involved in some of the things that we're doing and bring your energy and your blood and your ideas to what we're doing back tomorrow.

103
00:15:56.190 --> 00:16:08.400
Margaret Vinci: Okay. And so one of the projects that we have. And I think I didn't mention that. We also support our tsunami week. And so in March and that kind of not way late this year with Pokemon of Mark is

104
00:16:09.030 --> 00:16:25.350
Margaret Vinci: Is a tsunami month. And so we support some tsunami events that go on across the country, of course, Pacific Northwest being vulnerable for tsunami. So we also support that. And then we have a lot of our statewide committees, so are many awards.

105
00:16:26.610 --> 00:16:39.450
Margaret Vinci: We need this year. Eric recovery for the last four years have been able to support many awards. And so we are allowed to give up to $500 to support some of your projects that that you will have

106
00:16:40.050 --> 00:16:48.120
Margaret Vinci: To be able to then give you money to be able to do some of these projects. So this year we're winners of our 2020 ECA So Cal many awards.

107
00:16:48.900 --> 00:16:51.270
Margaret Vinci: Are on the list that you're seeing right now.

108
00:16:51.870 --> 00:16:59.670
Margaret Vinci: These people will be invited to our next quarterly meeting to actually give an overview of what they accomplish with that money. And we're able to do

109
00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:09.120
Margaret Vinci: So that you can share some of what they've done and then take it back to your organization as well. So, some of those are ridgecrest certain group or St Andrews bungalows

110
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:21.060
Margaret Vinci: HOA our Palm Desert targeted middle school is doing SOS secure your school. This is a project that you can go to ECA has a marketplace where you can actually purchase some of those

111
00:17:22.020 --> 00:17:32.760
Margaret Vinci: Products to go and secure your schools Bakersfield parent nursery for preparedness are Colby Regency HOA them of the world school district Laguna insert

112

Margaret Vinci: Westminster Minister police department Bronco based and community organizations is going to be doing a help yourself with your neighbors what healthcare spring Knowles emergency response skirt Naples Improvement Association and Mark next line.

113
00:17:56.490 --> 00:18:05.850
Margaret Vinci: So these are just a few of the people never have received many awards for 2020 and we look forward to many of you applying for this for next year.

114
00:18:09.090 --> 00:18:14.730
Heidi Rosofsky: Okay, what are the things that you did when you registered was taking a we asked you.

115
00:18:15.300 --> 00:18:31.320
Heidi Rosofsky: How am I, you know, some questions on how the coven situation might affect your response in a damaging earthquake, some of these questions will be in the ideas will be included in some of the presentations today, but these are a sample of some of the

116
00:18:33.450 --> 00:18:48.270
Heidi Rosofsky: On your screen or some of the the responses that we got back a lot of people were concerned with challenges with social distancing and the standard things about communications and so forth.

117
00:18:49.710 --> 00:19:02.760
Heidi Rosofsky: The specialty pharmacy issue is one that actually comes under a lot of the kinds of work that I do have an issue with the CERT CERT teams, being able to deal with.

118
00:19:05.040 --> 00:19:05.550
Heidi Rosofsky: With

119
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:12.570
Heidi Rosofsky: How they're going to do their job and AFM access and functional need residents and so forth.

120
00:19:13.020 --> 00:19:17.190
Heidi Rosofsky: Those are some of the things that will be dealt with. I know Jenny's will be dealing with a lot of them.

121
00:19:17.490 --> 00:19:29.340
Heidi Rosofsky: This the answers to these slept to these questions on how the community and all in ones will be included in the capture that you will have access to so you'll be able to see the the

122
00:19:30.570 --> 00:19:37.830
Heidi Rosofsky: The answers into, but one of them. And that's very interesting is that a lot of the volunteers are in the higher risk range so

123
00:19:38.790 --> 00:19:49.860
Heidi Rosofsky: What items changed a lot of you, you know, we're concerned about about personal preparedness information. And that's something clearly that we're going to have to start looking at adding to

124
00:19:51.540 --> 00:19:59.310
Heidi Rosofsky: To our, our kits and to our map your neighborhoods and our certain types of things.

125
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:12.690
Heidi Rosofsky: The issue of opportunity to refresh emergency and consume all those are the kinds of things that we would regularly talk about in some of our type of our workshops and so forth, going forward.

126
00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:18.630
Heidi Rosofsky: government services were found to be the amongst the most important

127
00:20:20.430 --> 00:20:31.170
Heidi Rosofsky: Interesting that a lot of people thought that they didn't miss any clothes services that would certainly change in an earthquake. So you can see that there's a lot of things. A lot of people thought that

128
00:20:32.730 --> 00:20:40.500
Heidi Rosofsky: feminism has been doing a great job. And this will change from disaster disaster, depending on how the disasters going

129
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:44.280
Heidi Rosofsky: Infrastructure is obviously very different than an earthquake, so

130
00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:52.860
Heidi Rosofsky: How we view that may be different as well. So those are some of the things we have to look at in terms of what's the difference between Kobe. And what's the difference between an earthquake.

131
00:20:53.850 --> 00:21:07.260
Heidi Rosofsky: What are the changes to your personal organization planning. This is going to be very important in terms of what you're going to do in terms of the differences and the similarities. The PPS the communication is always an issue.

132
00:21:08.760 --> 00:21:11.820
Heidi Rosofsky: But I think it's very important that we get to thinking about

133
00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:24.630
Heidi Rosofsky: About what we need to do both from the pandemic and then taking that step to. What if an earthquake happens or and or what if an earthquake happens during a pandemic.

134
00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:28.890
Heidi Rosofsky: So those will be included.

135
00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:39.660
Margaret Vinci: Okay. And one last thing for the resources. All the links that you're going to see in these presentations at the end of presentation so few resources.

136
00:21:40.020 --> 00:21:44.400
Margaret Vinci: All of those are being put into a website mark will talk more about that at the end of this meeting.

137
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:58.530
Margaret Vinci: Or towards the end, and there will be a website that you can get all of the three sources from so you don't have to scramble to write them all down quickly or take a Photoshop to to have that they will be honored and on a website that we will leave it with the end of the meeting.

138
00:22:00.840 --> 00:22:02.040
Heidi Rosofsky: Marcus, Jenny.

139
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.930
Mark Benthien: Read you. I just want to acknowledge that there are a couple comments in the

140
00:22:07.830 --> 00:22:16.950
Mark Benthien: chat about sound issues and you can control your sound at the lower left, where you see the microphone. There's an arrow next to that.

141
00:22:17.370 --> 00:22:28.440
Mark Benthien: That you may be able to select a different audio output source or select a speaker, it will say, and you can select the speaker and that may be might solve your issue.

142
00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:37.200
Mark Benthien: And then we'll continue. Sorry about that. And also, a lot of people are asking about recording of the webinar, it will be available.

143
00:22:37.950 --> 00:22:55.440
Mark Benthien: You'll see the link to to the web page about the webinar. That's where it will be available. Hopefully by later this afternoon or by tomorrow we will be emailing out. Also, the link to that so that you will have that to be able to come and watch the webinar or share it with others.

144
00:22:55.950 --> 00:23:04.830
Heidi Rosofsky: One other question that what came up in that and is another an acronym, p, p, and that one's been not thrown around the news that's personal protective equipment.

145
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:23.370
Heidi Rosofsky: And that's the gloves, the masks the gowns, the kinds of things that we're seeing the frontline responders using to keep themselves protected from and and not spreading the the covert virus or any other type of infectious situation whether it was covert or something else.

146
00:23:25.800 --> 00:23:28.440
Heidi Rosofsky: So markets is Jenny ready

147
00:23:31.260 --> 00:23:32.340
Mark Benthien: Yes. Yes. Good.

148
00:23:33.030 --> 00:23:36.150
Heidi Rosofsky: Okay, welcome, welcome aboard, Jenny.

149
00:23:37.320 --> 00:23:51.930
Heidi Rosofsky: It is my distinct pleasure to be able to introduce Jenny Novak, who is an award winning certified emergency manager. She specializes in earthquake preparedness exercise, develop and response to recovery transition

150
00:23:52.410 --> 00:24:00.420
Heidi Rosofsky: She's currently working with the emergency services core as Emergency Services Coordinator for the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

151
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:13.980
Heidi Rosofsky: Before that she was responsible for the comprehensive Emergency Management program at Cal State University, Northridge and over the past. I'm not going to say how many years, but let's just say she has a lot of experience.

152
00:24:14.550 --> 00:24:19.170
Heidi Rosofsky: That she has served to municipalities and one large public university.

153
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:30.810
Heidi Rosofsky: One and one country in the fields of one county. Sorry, I need to get my glasses adjusted one county in the field of emergency management and fire.

154
00:24:31.230 --> 00:24:36.180
Heidi Rosofsky: Prevention so she has a wide base and wide view of of experience.

155
00:24:36.510 --> 00:24:45.390
Heidi Rosofsky: She is currently. She currently serves as the workshop coordinator for the earthquake country alliance and set for Southern California. We are delighted to have her

156
00:24:45.690 --> 00:24:54.360
Heidi Rosofsky: JENNY No back we'll be discussing will be providing the presentation on responding to an earthquake in the codec 19 era, Jenny. It's all yours.

157
00:24:55.620 --> 00:25:04.530
Jenny Novak: Alright, good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining our webinar. So I'm going to be speaking today about responding to an earthquake.

158
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:15.360
Jenny Novak: Or really, you know, other disasters to I'm also going to consider a tsunami, a little bit since that's the primary focus of this group during the pandemic era, which is something that we have

159
00:25:18.060 --> 00:25:30.000
Jenny Novak: Been really had extreme and I want to preface it by saying that I'm not an expert at doing that because I don't think anyone really is and my talk is going to probably or potentially bring up more questions than solutions for some of these

160
00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:36.930
Jenny Novak: Types of functions that we're going to be considering, but hopefully at the end of this talk. My goal is that you're going to

161
00:25:37.830 --> 00:25:53.820
Jenny Novak: Have some ideas for things to consider in your planning efforts at least and how covert 19 might impact the response and a little bit of recovery for an earthquake. Should we have one during the pandemic era. So let me

162
00:25:56.010 --> 00:26:03.840
Jenny Novak: Okay, that's my so multiple concurrent incidents, that's something that we have already talked about a little bit this morning and the intro

163
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:15.990
Jenny Novak: There are certainly instances of this happening. Mark mentioned the the damn breaking and flooding in Michigan that is happening currently we had tornadoes earlier this year in April.

164
00:26:18.090 --> 00:26:25.440
Jenny Novak: Oh, Andrea and that was during the pandemic era. There's been a lot of different instances of multiple disasters that have made situations and response.

165
00:26:26.100 --> 00:26:40.560
Jenny Novak: A lot more complex, including November 8 2018 which is a date that will always remember in California Emergency Management where we had to fight wildfires, and a mass shooting inventory county within 24 hours and the campfire started that day in nor Cal

166
00:26:41.580 --> 00:26:46.830
Jenny Novak: We had five wildfires happening at the same time. And so, Cal in December 2017

167
00:26:47.550 --> 00:26:54.120
Jenny Novak: In September 17 to Category five hurricane within 10 days and the US Virgin Islands.

168
00:26:54.510 --> 00:27:01.860
Jenny Novak: So there's certainly instances of this happening. Sometimes when we talk about planning, it seems like, well, this might be too extreme of a scenario.

169
00:27:02.130 --> 00:27:16.620
Jenny Novak: But it isn't because we can see that it has happened before. And that is something more and more that we need to start thinking about is how a second disaster my influence our planning and our response to the original disaster, so

170
00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:21.720
Jenny Novak: Earthquake impacts so so

171
00:27:24.090 --> 00:27:27.390
Jenny Novak: Pandemic and navigate back and think about how will

172
00:27:27.630 --> 00:27:43.110
Jenny Novak: Earthquakes potentially throw a wrench in that so disruption to communications is obviously one thing. So we're already isolated in terms of physical distancing but we would be more isolated in terms of our communications. A lot of us have been relying heavily on phones.

173
00:27:43.410 --> 00:27:55.890
Jenny Novak: And internet to keep in touch, you know, TV news broadcast to know what's going on. But that could be disrupted in an earthquake debris and hazards blocking the roadways. Fortunately, the pandemic isn't causing that right now.

174
00:27:58.140 --> 00:28:01.770
Jenny Novak: Oh well, geographic separation that we currently don't have to deal with.

175
00:28:02.340 --> 00:28:13.470
Jenny Novak: Supply Chain interruptions. While we've had some slowness on the PP the personal protective equipment we haven't had much of a problem with lack of food, water, or other critical supplies in this pandemic.

176
00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:21.780
Jenny Novak: So that would be something that an earthquake would definitely throw a wrench in building damages because it's a pandemic and it's a biological hazard.

177
00:28:22.230 --> 00:28:27.600
Jenny Novak: We aren't seeing the damages and the debris that a typical cluster or physical disaster normally brings

178
00:28:27.810 --> 00:28:35.430
Jenny Novak: So we would see that an earthquake and we would need to thinking about sheltering outside of the home, which is, you know, kind of flipping on its head. The current

179
00:28:35.910 --> 00:28:45.030
Jenny Novak: Stay At Home philosophy and then also our mental anxiety, everybody's already a little bit you know out of sorts, because of the pandemic. It's affecting

180
00:28:45.330 --> 00:28:56.160
Jenny Novak: Some people more than others, but a lot of people have been sad or depressed or felt lonely. Because of this, and an earthquake would certainly add to that kind of anxiety during the pandemic.

181
00:28:58.710 --> 00:28:59.340
Jenny Novak: So,

182
00:29:00.450 --> 00:29:05.670
Jenny Novak: In terms of emergency management, I want to kind of, as was mentioned earlier. Try to see some

183
00:29:08.130 --> 00:29:11.280
Jenny Novak: Of the public positives and in terms of emergency management.

184
00:29:11.820 --> 00:29:21.180
Jenny Novak: We have kind of some pros that in place already we have this massive organizational structure. So the state Operation Center has been activated for

185
00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:33.510
Jenny Novak: A long time. I think two months now at the highest level, and there is already an organizational structure in place. It's actually a very similar structure to what we had discussed when we were doing the

186
00:29:34.050 --> 00:29:41.250
Jenny Novak: Southern California catastrophic earthquake plan update these past couple of years. So this is actually this instance has allowed us to sort of

187
00:29:41.700 --> 00:29:48.090
Jenny Novak: Test out that organizational structure. So we have people filling all those seats up at headquarters in Sacramento.

188
00:29:48.690 --> 00:29:59.640
Jenny Novak: That is has been going on. So that's not something you know in a typical earthquake or emergency, we'd have to start that from scratch, you know, we'd have to act if we'd have to call people in, but in this case it's already happening.

189
00:30:02.130 --> 00:30:05.400
Jenny Novak: Funding. It's already 70 cities and counties across the

190
00:30:06.090 --> 00:30:13.710
Jenny Novak: The area we already have that structure in place, as I mentioned, staffing patterns already have been created. So people are already filling those seats.

191
00:30:14.010 --> 00:30:24.210
Jenny Novak: A resource request has process has been well established, and that is something that is really critical, and it has been difficult to get up and running in different

192
00:30:24.990 --> 00:30:35.520
Jenny Novak: Disaster. So we already have that it's running like a well oiled machine. We have a multi agency coordination group for scarce resources already established we have state of emergency.

193
00:30:38.130 --> 00:30:42.030
Jenny Novak: Are just be cool for getting things purchase quickly in an emergency.

194
00:30:42.570 --> 00:30:49.110
Jenny Novak: food distribution is already taking place at a lot of our food bank. So that would be something that an earthquake would also probably

195
00:30:49.470 --> 00:31:01.290
Jenny Novak: Yield. As a consequence, so that's already happening. So we just need to increase those efforts and then hospital search plants have already been activated. So we already have bed spaces available. It's not something that we'd have to ramp up

196
00:31:01.860 --> 00:31:06.240
Jenny Novak: During the earthquake. If one were to occur. So

197
00:31:07.650 --> 00:31:09.270
Jenny Novak: It went backwards. Let's see.

198
00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:21.150
Jenny Novak: Terms of the cons emergency operations centers have been active for months. So there is operational costs going through the roof in terms of to local governments staff fatigue.

199
00:31:24.120 --> 00:31:33.210
Jenny Novak: Potentially be the best one in this case some emergency operations centers are running virtually and obviously that could be interrupted of an earthquake happened.

200
00:31:33.630 --> 00:31:46.320
Jenny Novak: sheltering or staging sites already and use for coven 19 testing. So those facilities that we might normally use for earthquake response might not be available because coven has already claimed those those resources.

201
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:58.050
Jenny Novak: And then, you know, the new missions that would come up that would really be a critical priority would really push our systems to their limits. I think because we already are kind of stretched thin, in some ways,

202
00:31:58.380 --> 00:32:11.910
Jenny Novak: And I already sort of mentioned that supply chains would would be interrupted, and that's going to make everything worse in terms of the lack of availability of PP disinfectant, you know, right now we are able to move that stuff around but in an earthquake, we probably

203
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:18.150
Jenny Novak: Leave, not least, we'd have to be looking at alternative options for that.

204
00:32:21.990 --> 00:32:27.390
Jenny Novak: So key messaging for protective actions. I think this is really important. And I want to make sure that

205
00:32:27.990 --> 00:32:35.130
Jenny Novak: That these things do not really change. Yes, we are responding to a pandemic. But in terms of an earthquake, you still want to take those same

206
00:32:35.340 --> 00:32:40.050
Jenny Novak: protective measures, so drop, cover and hold on. It doesn't change because of the pandemic, the tsunami.

207
00:32:40.350 --> 00:32:44.880
Jenny Novak: Protective actions also do not change. If you are near the coast when a major earthquake happens

208
00:32:45.090 --> 00:33:01.710
Jenny Novak: Evacuated get to higher ground or go inland. So, you know, safe at home applies to the pandemic, but it does not necessarily supersede other emergencies. So you may be safer at home unless there's a wildfire or tsunami, something that you would normally want to act.

209
00:33:04.170 --> 00:33:10.620
Jenny Novak: Like you wait for those situations were to occur, but definitely take your same actions for an earthquake.

210
00:33:12.270 --> 00:33:12.600
Jenny Novak: Okay.

211
00:33:14.520 --> 00:33:22.620
Jenny Novak: So volunteer facts and resources. So a lot of you are involved in volunteer organization. So you're probably already familiar with the ways that some of these have

212
00:33:23.130 --> 00:33:37.680
Jenny Novak: Occurred so there are fewer senior senior citizen that available to volunteer for in person activities. That's certainly something that we've seen our regular in person monthly meetings can no longer happen. So we've had to struggle sometimes to find a virtual subsidy.

213
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:53.280
Jenny Novak: To for that there's probably more so than ever. And we need help with food bank distribution well checks meal delivery shelter assistance. All these things are happening at once, but there's fewer volunteers available.

214
00:33:53.850 --> 00:34:02.430
Jenny Novak: In terms of training and onboarding typically a lot of that's done in person, sometimes with a background check, which might be impacted by whether or not the courthouses are open.

215
00:34:02.970 --> 00:34:17.730
Jenny Novak: All that stuff might have is cancelled or delayed. So that's very difficult for volunteers, but on the pro side of things in terms of volunteer impact we have established a program statewide California and for all, which is an opportunity

216
00:34:20.190 --> 00:34:24.900
Jenny Novak: At five if they help a lot of people have a little bit more time available right now because of

217
00:34:25.410 --> 00:34:34.050
Jenny Novak: Unemployment or school closures, so people can sign up through this website and then the state will connect them with needs and local communities to fill gaps.

218
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:42.030
Jenny Novak: California Health Corps volunteer program for doctors and nurses and empties anyone with medical certifications can help that way.

219
00:34:42.750 --> 00:34:50.220
Jenny Novak: There's also a lot of virtual opportunities that are in place that people can help with 211 calls while checks that can be done virtually

220
00:34:50.610 --> 00:35:00.600
Jenny Novak: Mental Health help on some of the suicide prevention hotlines so you can see there's kind of pros and cons in terms of volunteer impacts because there are some resources available.

221
00:35:03.060 --> 00:35:10.860
Jenny Novak: sheltering impact. So, of course, this is something that comes to mind in a pandemic, you don't necessarily want to get everybody together in the same room sheltering

222
00:35:11.370 --> 00:35:25.530
Jenny Novak: The American Red Cross national headquarters has developed some guidelines for sheltering in a pandemic, the California Department of Social Services has also developed a framework that I just saw a draft of yesterday that should be finalized later this week.

223
00:35:27.810 --> 00:35:39.270
Jenny Novak: And in terms of sheltering though there are a lot of considerations health screening is something that you would need to do in a Kongregate shelter obviously social distancing. So as the photo. You can see there

224
00:35:39.930 --> 00:35:48.540
Jenny Novak: That would not be something that we could do having the cost that close together. I have seen in the Red Cross PLAN, THEY'RE LOOKING AT 110 square feet per

225
00:35:48.990 --> 00:36:03.660
Jenny Novak: Client, which is a lot. I have also seen that they really want to limit congregate shelters to 50 or fewer. You would also have to have a testing and isolation plan in place. Lots of disinfecting and handwashing place. So there's a lot of concerns.

226
00:36:06.210 --> 00:36:12.300
Jenny Novak: With console, the State of California is and the Red Cross to would prefer to go with non congregate options first

227
00:36:12.660 --> 00:36:18.450
Jenny Novak: So some things that might work trailers and Arby's that's something that could keep people part if they have that resource.

228
00:36:18.870 --> 00:36:29.490
Jenny Novak: The state did provide some trailers to local governments were coven 19 isolation that's mostly supposed to be for people impacted by homelessness, if they need isolation and they don't have a home to go to

229
00:36:30.030 --> 00:36:44.130
Jenny Novak: But that might be able to be repurposed weren't earthquake to occur vehicles I the plan that I saw involved a temporary evacuation point where people could come with vehicles and still stay dis that way because they're in their own car.

230
00:36:46.230 --> 00:36:51.330
Jenny Novak: Just came in with the the people managing the shelter to see where they could get redirected

231
00:36:52.080 --> 00:37:03.450
Jenny Novak: Hotels project room key is something that's ongoing. That's also a program to support people experiencing homelessness and terms of isolation but hotels would definitely be something that they would look into first

232
00:37:03.810 --> 00:37:11.430
Jenny Novak: And they're recommending that local governments have agreements with hotels in place if an earthquake or wildfire or something else happened where we'd have to do sheltering

233
00:37:11.730 --> 00:37:23.400
Jenny Novak: Hotels us the number one thing that that CD S S is recommending dormitories and other option with local colleges if colleges and in session, like a lot of them are not doing in person.

234
00:37:26.220 --> 00:37:33.750
Jenny Novak: Sessions might be and also outdoor options are a lot of campgrounds that potentially people could could use in an earthquake. If you had to

235
00:37:34.290 --> 00:37:47.970
Jenny Novak: Leave your home campgrounds either with a RV or trailer or with tent camping might be an option. So there's a lot of things that we traditionally wouldn't explore that are being thought about unexplored right now in terms of if we needed to evacuate people

236
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:59.940
Mark Benthien: Like me, this is market, just want to let you know I'm going to stop your video at the Great suggestion of one of our attendees that it may help with some of the bandwidth issues that are happening where your sound is breaking up let you know that

237
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:00.870
Jenny Novak: Yeah, no problem.

238
00:38:01.080 --> 00:38:02.040
Mark Benthien: We'll be seeing you anymore.

239
00:38:02.490 --> 00:38:12.330
Jenny Novak: Okay. Hopefully everybody can hear me a little better if that if that helps. I try to get as close to my router as I can. But you know, I don't know how well that works.

240
00:38:13.710 --> 00:38:20.850
Jenny Novak: So some of the disproportionate impact that I do want to bring up just as we are planning for any subsequent disaster to keep in mind that people are

241
00:38:21.450 --> 00:38:34.740
Jenny Novak: Experiencing the impacts of Kobe 19 different ones are having a harder time than high income populations. If you don't have financial savings in place. This can be a really difficult time. If you're getting

242
00:38:35.250 --> 00:38:45.030
Jenny Novak: Unemployment right now. Or if your hours have been cut, such as service industry workers. I know a lot of friends personally out of work that we're you know bartenders are worked at hotels.

243
00:38:45.390 --> 00:38:53.910
Jenny Novak: With conferences supporting those kinds of things. A lot of people are out of work and that is impacting people in a disproportionate way.

244
00:38:55.050 --> 00:38:59.880
Jenny Novak: Da fn populations definitely you know it's going to be harder on those

245
00:39:02.550 --> 00:39:04.020
Jenny Novak: And I think a little bit later.

246
00:39:05.040 --> 00:39:16.320
Jenny Novak: Chronically and terminally ill. Also, you know, if you're already feeling sick if you're already having a compromised immune system certainly don't want to introduce another virus to the mix. So those are also

247
00:39:16.650 --> 00:39:31.140
Jenny Novak: Those populations are also going to have a more difficult time with procuring groceries and other supplies that most of us were feel comfortable taking the risk institutionalized setting certainly that is a way that we're seeing the virus spread very, very

248
00:39:32.160 --> 00:39:41.820
Jenny Novak: quickly and rapidly. Those are a lot of the cases and most of the counties happening either at like a jail situation or a skilled nursing facility where everybody's close together.

249
00:39:42.120 --> 00:39:49.920
Jenny Novak: As everyone knows, senior citizens are a little bit more vulnerable to this proven that they tend to have a higher mortality rate.

250
00:39:50.730 --> 00:40:00.030
Jenny Novak: Than others so they of course are also nervous about that I mentioned a few resources for people experiencing homelessness. They of course, cannot really isolate very well.

251
00:40:00.570 --> 00:40:09.630
Jenny Novak: Unless the state has helped with these programs, people of color. There have been studies showing that people of color are experiencing the virus.

252
00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:24.690
Jenny Novak: At a higher rate of color. So these are all things that we need to consider if it just another disaster happened to these people are already disadvantaged in a way so that is important planning consideration.

253
00:40:25.950 --> 00:40:29.490
Jenny Novak: So in terms of how it impacts individual or family preparedness plans.

254
00:40:30.060 --> 00:40:37.920
Jenny Novak: A good thing and I think this was also mentioned that some of the answers to the questions is that many families are not currently separated by work and school so

255
00:40:38.220 --> 00:40:43.800
Jenny Novak: That's good. I think somebody had put in there, there would be less of a need for search and rescue in some of the commercial buildings. Yeah.

256
00:40:44.430 --> 00:40:55.860
Jenny Novak: You know, we always talk about the big one, potentially happening while people are at work and then you have to get reunited with other family members. And right now, most people are actually at home. So, so that could be a good thing.

257
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:01.620
Jenny Novak: A lot of people working on plans right now, things that the the

258
00:41:02.190 --> 00:41:10.290
Jenny Novak: Covert outbreak has brought up things that you might want to do, of course, securing your space in advance is going to make your home. The safest shelter. And that really is.

259
00:41:10.860 --> 00:41:22.860
Jenny Novak: more critical. I'd say now than ever, is that you want your home to continue to be the safest place because we discussed just recently all those sheltering options and none of them are really great. Like, you don't want to have to be

260
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:29.850
Jenny Novak: Going to a shelter at this time. So it's really important to try to perform some of that non structure.

261
00:41:32.250 --> 00:41:39.150
Jenny Novak: For all mitigation. How can be more time available since you're not commuting to try to do that. I'm considering a generator in case of power disruption.

262
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:54.330
Jenny Novak: We see how critical the electricity is right now I think because we are at home all the time you know we are communicating virtually and we're needing air conditioning in some of us as it starts to get hotter. So thinking about power disruption as a really

263
00:41:55.710 --> 00:42:01.080
Jenny Novak: Bad thing that could happen to make the situation a lot worse. So try to mitigate that in advance.

264
00:42:01.890 --> 00:42:11.670
Jenny Novak: And then of course sheltering as we talked about, if you, if there is a family or friend friend that's nearby that you might be able to stay with that's really something you might want to think about up front, maybe

265
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:19.170
Jenny Novak: Somebody that doesn't have serious risk of exposure that that's something people want to consider in their plans.

266
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:28.080
Jenny Novak: I talked a little bit about outdoor options for sheltering I think a lot of us have camping kits thinking about getting that preparing and getting that ready for Worst case scenario.

267
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:39.030
Jenny Novak: That that is something to consider. Fortunately, and so Cal, we have pretty decent weather and it's not as big of a concern isn't some or some other areas where they get really extreme heat or cold.

268
00:42:39.450 --> 00:42:45.720
Jenny Novak: And then, of course, as we discussed enhancing the financial emergency plan. I think a lot of people have lesson from this is

269
00:42:45.990 --> 00:42:56.250
Jenny Novak: Not having enough in savings to get through a difficult time like this especially this pro long pandemic disaster that is having huge impact on the stock markets huge impacts on employment.

270
00:42:56.790 --> 00:43:01.620
Jenny Novak: So that's a really important piece that that people probably want to consider. Now, more so than ever.

271
00:43:02.790 --> 00:43:06.420
Jenny Novak: In terms of the kids. I think that we had some good answers that were shared earlier.

272
00:43:06.900 --> 00:43:16.080
Jenny Novak: But one at one positive about the preparedness kit is that right now. People have stockpiled a little bit more supplies and they might normally because people actually did.

273
00:43:16.740 --> 00:43:21.600
Jenny Novak: You know, start to see that they needed to have supplies, maybe at home that they didn't have

274
00:43:21.930 --> 00:43:26.520
Jenny Novak: In place. So we did see that where people went and got additional supplies and hopefully

275
00:43:26.700 --> 00:43:36.270
Jenny Novak: You know, people will think about this as a continued preparedness measure. They don't want to be caught off guard again in the future. They don't want to have to go to the store and wait in a really online get those essential so

276
00:43:36.570 --> 00:43:41.850
Jenny Novak: The importance of a kit has really been understood. I think for a lot of people that didn't normally think about that.

277
00:43:42.420 --> 00:43:49.380
Jenny Novak: Of course, new considerations additional masks gloves other personal protective gear. That's such a shortage everywhere that

278
00:43:49.530 --> 00:43:59.730
Jenny Novak: I think those of us that did have that in our preparedness kits really feel fortunate. And that's something you really want to make sure, maybe you didn't think it was as important when you are preparing before but

279
00:44:02.340 --> 00:44:16.470
Jenny Novak: Now you see so critical. And if you can still in short supply, but hand sanitizer disinfecting supplies those things. I think some of us had in our kids. But again, maybe wasn't, top of the list, but we see that that can be really, really important for disaster situations.

280
00:44:18.870 --> 00:44:25.200
Jenny Novak: So, how to better prepare your organization. This is a good time to think about what things are going to look like when

281
00:44:26.100 --> 00:44:32.550
Jenny Novak: The pandemic starts to to die down a little bit. If it does, or we just move forward with our reopening plans.

282
00:44:33.090 --> 00:44:39.150
Jenny Novak: It's really a good idea to conduct a tabletop discussion X exercise about what actions that you might take

283
00:44:39.510 --> 00:44:49.800
Jenny Novak: If another disaster were to happen, EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMI wildfire, anything like that. How would your normal plan be different because of the pandemic and then update your plan based on that discussion.

284
00:44:52.920 --> 00:45:02.070
Jenny Novak: You can incorporate the rules for social distancing what kinds of virtual coordination tools, you might need to use just infecting handwashing p p

285
00:45:02.490 --> 00:45:09.300
Jenny Novak: One of the things that that public health has been talking about is for as were reopening especially larger organizations like schools.

286
00:45:09.990 --> 00:45:22.590
Jenny Novak: You have to have a testing plan in place if there was a positive in your organization, how are you going to make sure that everyone gets tested. How are you going to trace those contacts, that's something that you want to discuss within your organization.

287
00:45:24.090 --> 00:45:33.090
Jenny Novak: So that's kind of wrapping up my talk, I when I was putting this together. I came across quite a few really great resources that we're going to link to you on the website.

288
00:45:33.720 --> 00:45:43.470
Jenny Novak: We California coated website. Of course, I think most of your local counties. I didn't list them all out here have their own covert 19 information websites, even some cities do

289
00:45:44.070 --> 00:45:50.100
Jenny Novak: Now more than ever. I think is really important to get dialed into your local emergency notification systems and spread the word.

290
00:45:52.350 --> 00:46:06.240
Jenny Novak: Heard about that, as I said, You coven 19 updates through my local emergency notification system just even for example STREET SWEEPING whether or not we're going to get tickets for leaving our cars on the street. The city had lifted that for about

291
00:46:08.610 --> 00:46:19.080
Jenny Novak: A minute. They just that I can place to get tickets. So I'm getting those notices through that system and that is a really important thing. If there was another disaster. It's a very quick way to find official information.

292
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:30.180
Jenny Novak: So, and then also, these are just some other resources for people that have been thinking and writing about this topic already great article in The Atlantic Lori angler who helps with

293
00:46:30.810 --> 00:46:34.590
Jenny Novak: The ECA branch up in the north coast wrote an article this weekend.

294
00:46:35.190 --> 00:46:41.970
Jenny Novak: There is a working group work at looking at earthquakes and other geo hazards on time of pandemic. Our friend Bob de Groot is involved in that.

295
00:46:42.240 --> 00:46:49.800
Jenny Novak: And then an article by one of our member groups, the Coachella Valley disaster preparedness network. There's a great video showing the new

296
00:46:50.220 --> 00:47:06.030
Jenny Novak: Standards for sheltering and coven 19 I encourage you to check that out and FEMA also put together an exercise starter kit on how you can get some of your operations back up and running. So doing a tabletop exercise that would be a really great way to do that. So I think that

297
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:10.230
Jenny Novak: At that is bring down

298
00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:15.090
Jenny Novak: Okay, I don't think I can advance the slides anymore. It looks like so.

299
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:18.090
Mark Benthien: That's why we have a couple questions for you.

300
00:47:18.390 --> 00:47:18.780
Okay.

301
00:47:20.550 --> 00:47:28.530
Gabriela Noriega: Okay, so I'm Robert West is asking, what is the typical evaluation time for bridge clearance post an earthquake.

302
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:42.000
Jenny Novak: Okay, well, I don't know if there is really a typical time in place. I think it's going to depend on the the the earthquake itself and how many impacts. It has

303
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:47.310
Jenny Novak: As but I do know that called anyway as as a state employee.

304
00:47:47.730 --> 00:47:57.870
Jenny Novak: Has a system in place where based on the earthquake. As soon as it happens, there is a model that goes into the geographic database and shows all the bridges that they have a

305
00:47:58.170 --> 00:48:05.250
Jenny Novak: An eye on for monitoring and sort of projects, whether or not that bridge would have survived that earthquake based on its construction.

306
00:48:05.670 --> 00:48:16.080
Jenny Novak: So they've got a really great database with that and that is a system that's going to help them pinpoint which ones they need to go and take a look at first. So that's through Caltrans. But of course you know i mean it.

307
00:48:18.390 --> 00:48:24.690
Jenny Novak: Depends on you guys get to do know that that information is pretty immediate that they will be receiving at at least the headquarters level.

308
00:48:24.900 --> 00:48:33.090
Jenny Novak: And then of course it would take some time to get the message out to the district office and to get actual boots on the ground to go and evaluate those bridges, but I do know that it is

309
00:48:33.660 --> 00:48:42.810
Jenny Novak: Definitely a priority and turn our earth big plan and that they do have that system in place. So I hope that helps. At least, to give you an idea of the process.

310
00:48:44.040 --> 00:48:50.490
Gabriela Noriega: Thank you, Steve is asking wouldn't hotels and dorms be vulnerable to earthquake hazards.

311
00:48:51.660 --> 00:48:57.990
Gabriela Noriega: In an effective area would authorities need to evacuate the population to non earthquake affected areas.

312
00:48:59.940 --> 00:49:16.080
Jenny Novak: So it's a good question. I think that in California. We have really great building standards, especially in buildings that have been built recently. So in the last 20 years I mean really anything that was built after versus 7070s when when Bill

313
00:49:18.420 --> 00:49:27.540
Jenny Novak: When codes were really upset San Fernando earthquake that happened here building codes really became an enhanced here. So I think that if it construction was recent enough

314
00:49:28.230 --> 00:49:32.790
Jenny Novak: Hopefully these buildings would be able to withstand most earthquakes that we have here.

315
00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:40.860
Jenny Novak: It's, it's hard to envision a situation where, where every building would just be completely destroyed from an earthquake, because we know this hazard.

316
00:49:41.850 --> 00:49:48.090
Jenny Novak: Exists and it is a thread in this area, we have been building to really high standards for new construction. So

317
00:49:48.570 --> 00:49:57.900
Jenny Novak: I do think that before we move people into hotels or dorms that they would have to have an evaluation by a building instructor inspector to make sure that those

318
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:05.070
Jenny Novak: facilities were still inhabitable and of course would be difficult with aftershocks to continue to have to assess that.

319
00:50:05.580 --> 00:50:16.020
Jenny Novak: But that that is what we look at with an earthquake and we do know that some people might want to leave the area. But I don't think that it'd be a necessity based on every building being completely destroyed.

320
00:50:18.930 --> 00:50:31.590
Gabriela Noriega: Okay, thank you. And then the last question is Will with people on alternating schedules. How do you recommend keeping track of who is on site at work in case of an earthquake to keep track of people

321
00:50:32.640 --> 00:50:34.260
Gabriela Noriega: Always counted after an earthquake.

322
00:50:34.980 --> 00:50:44.670
Jenny Novak: Yeah, I think that is really a good point in terms of a planning consideration because yes I think that as we move back toward normal operations. We're going to start having

323
00:50:45.240 --> 00:50:51.210
Jenny Novak: You know, half the staff in on Sundays half on another day. And that will become more difficult. So I would

324
00:50:51.660 --> 00:51:01.920
Jenny Novak: Encourage people to try to come up with a verte virtual check ins and systems like that. However, obviously the earthquake can disrupt those type of system. So anything where you may be able to

325
00:51:04.410 --> 00:51:09.990
Jenny Novak: Have everybody come and virtual goods and also be able to have kind of a hard copy of that roster downloaded to a device.

326
00:51:10.350 --> 00:51:19.530
Jenny Novak: might also be be a good option because yeah i think that that that will would certainly be a challenge our normal protocols might not work for that in terms of

327
00:51:19.890 --> 00:51:28.830
Jenny Novak: You know, knowing everybody's supposed to be in the office on a certain day. So yeah, definitely. Let's add that one to the list for discussions and tabletop exercises.

328
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:39.480
Mark Benthien: Okay. We'll move on now and I just want to say again, we're still getting a lot of questions about the recording and links and other aspects of that there will be

329
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:46.560
Mark Benthien: Everything's going to be posted to our website and you'll see the link to that soon. And it's been posted in the Q AMP a

330
00:51:47.070 --> 00:51:56.640
Mark Benthien: So, and will also be emailing that out to you. So all of these links are already on the website, you'll see that late coming up shortly. And now we'll move on to

331
00:51:57.390 --> 00:52:10.710
Mark Benthien: Heidi rostowski to we're running a little bit behind. So we want to continue their highly. I'm going to go ahead and control the slides. So you just say next. And we'll keep moving. I'm going to keep your video off just to keep the

332
00:52:11.370 --> 00:52:11.850
Heidi Rosofsky: Yeah.

333
00:52:12.120 --> 00:52:12.780
Heidi Rosofsky: We're having

334
00:52:13.260 --> 00:52:14.040
No problem.

335
00:52:16.050 --> 00:52:23.010
Margaret Vinci: And I want to say thank you to Danny and understanding the needs and feeling comfortable working with people without disaffected youth.

336
00:52:23.430 --> 00:52:32.760
Margaret Vinci: Is important for neighbors helping neighbors. So to help us to understand more about that we have teachable moments that are being presented to us by how do you resolve it.

337
00:52:33.060 --> 00:52:40.290
Margaret Vinci: It has been involved in emergency management for more than 40 years upon receiving a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.

338
00:52:40.590 --> 00:52:47.700
Margaret Vinci: I turned her focus to improving the ability of all levels of emergency management to meet the needs that community members who need assistance.

339
00:52:48.000 --> 00:53:00.030
Margaret Vinci: Or accommodations to receive understand and act upon emergency information before, during, and after a disaster is currently with global visions consortium as their senior consultant for inclusive planning.

340
00:53:00.690 --> 00:53:13.680
Margaret Vinci: He is the National Coordinator for the Abilities Expo emergency preparedness initiative and a member of the earthquake country alliance senior and people with disabilities committee and a co chair for the earthen country lines serving California region Heidi.

341
00:53:15.660 --> 00:53:21.270
Heidi Rosofsky: Hi everybody. So you've heard a little bit about who we are and some of the

342
00:53:21.900 --> 00:53:32.610
Heidi Rosofsky: Little bit in Jenny's presentation. So who are the people that come under this magical word you know disabilities access and functional needs that a lot of people do not understand.

343
00:53:33.180 --> 00:53:41.760
Heidi Rosofsky: The public does not relate to that word. It's kind of an internal emergency management world. So our audience. Our people with disabilities, which is like

344
00:53:41.790 --> 00:53:42.900
Heidi Rosofsky: One in five

345
00:53:43.590 --> 00:53:53.070
Heidi Rosofsky: Seniors in institutional settings. We've seen the effective coven with that and you can read the list that's there, some of which you may not have considered next

346
00:53:55.080 --> 00:53:55.890
Heidi Rosofsky: Mark next

347
00:53:57.390 --> 00:54:04.770
Heidi Rosofsky: So basically what you need to remember that we're looking at. Anyone who is going to need some kind of an accommodation or assistance.

348
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:14.070
Heidi Rosofsky: And ease and access and functional needs does not have to be anyone who has a disability, or if you look like that. It's just anyone who requires

349
00:54:14.340 --> 00:54:27.750
Heidi Rosofsky: Some kind of physical or problematic, you know, access to be able to ensure that they can have the ability to respond. The ability to receive the ability to keep themselves safe, just like anyone else next

350
00:54:30.600 --> 00:54:32.400
Heidi Rosofsky: Mark. Thank you.

351
00:54:33.960 --> 00:54:42.420
Heidi Rosofsky: One of the things within the disability community because of the fight for ADA is nothing about us without us. And this is true for any group that we're working with.

352
00:54:42.660 --> 00:54:49.410
Heidi Rosofsky: We needs to be a group, the stakeholders need to be involved. We need to work together in order to be able to

353
00:54:50.010 --> 00:54:57.630
Heidi Rosofsky: Come up with messages that are specifically specific and relevant to the audience that we are working with

354
00:54:58.080 --> 00:55:05.700
Heidi Rosofsky: And they must be reviewed and revised by that group because there have been too many times that we have had on there have been

355
00:55:06.660 --> 00:55:21.690
Heidi Rosofsky: Suggestions or there have been information that's been presented and the assumptions that have been built in or not actually useful and are not accurate, for whom we've needed to go, whom we really wanted to be working with next

356
00:55:24.090 --> 00:55:31.590
Heidi Rosofsky: Coded has helped us in this way, as you see, the gentleman standing before a situation where this the

357
00:55:32.220 --> 00:55:37.440
Heidi Rosofsky: shelves are bare. But what we need to do is to be able to use that as a jumping point

358
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:47.370
Heidi Rosofsky: To be able to to help people get to the next place of what else they need to to put in their kits, the things they need to do about rotating them.

359
00:55:47.580 --> 00:56:04.620
Heidi Rosofsky: So coded can be a positive teachable moment. It doesn't all have to be negative. And that's what we need to do is find that meat that we can do to say you've taken this step. Now take the next and Mark That's next

360
00:56:06.090 --> 00:56:22.230
Heidi Rosofsky: So personal planning and within the access and functional needs audiences preparedness is the key to maintaining independence. So that's what we want to work with is finding those things that help individuals maintain their independence.

361
00:56:22.590 --> 00:56:29.760
Heidi Rosofsky: You know, Jenny talked about the trying to stay at home and at home, being the best place, you know, to be

362
00:56:31.020 --> 00:56:42.540
Heidi Rosofsky: In the coven world. It's also, if possible, the best place to be for someone who is already had it set up for their maintaining their independence as well. So that's what we're trying to do. Okay, next.

363
00:56:46.680 --> 00:56:53.700
Heidi Rosofsky: Neighbor helping neighbor is really another situation that we need to really look at

364
00:56:54.960 --> 00:57:02.970
Heidi Rosofsky: In my own particular situation. I'm actually at a very high risk because I not only have Ms. But I have an immune suppressive issue.

365
00:57:03.480 --> 00:57:09.240
Heidi Rosofsky: So what did I do, I built my own little support network out of some folks that I know and

366
00:57:10.050 --> 00:57:19.770
Heidi Rosofsky: So I have some people that will go hit the Costco for me. Most of the time, and this net me other and a lot of neighbors have come together to help the focus on their blocks, they know

367
00:57:20.550 --> 00:57:28.230
Heidi Rosofsky: Maybe L older or have an issue already. That's what we need to start harnessing and making it more concrete.

368
00:57:28.590 --> 00:57:42.030
Heidi Rosofsky: And to make it more of a situation that we build that out to be able to be multi hazard to be able to work in an earthquake what the difference between main difference between cove ID.

369
00:57:42.300 --> 00:57:53.130
Heidi Rosofsky: And an earthquake is now we can go down to Costco and or the grocery store and even though there may be supplies out to supply chain is still reasonably intact.

370
00:57:53.550 --> 00:58:00.720
Heidi Rosofsky: after a disaster that supply chain is not likely to be in anywhere near as intact as it is now.

371
00:58:01.170 --> 00:58:09.120
Heidi Rosofsky: And then the ability to get to those places because of potential road damage or or other things debris in the roads, that kind of thing.

372
00:58:09.540 --> 00:58:21.390
Heidi Rosofsky: Is going to make it also more difficult. So the ability to move it into the neighborhood and to, you know, to be able to pull what you need from your kits, you know, to

373
00:58:21.870 --> 00:58:36.420
Heidi Rosofsky: Work it from something smaller from, you know, in, in, in that case is necessary. So from that neighborhood, we need to come down to a personal support team, which can be part of a certain team or panty part of a

374
00:58:36.930 --> 00:58:49.260
Heidi Rosofsky: Map your neighborhood where folks I know are actually assigned to go help someone who has an access and functional need we want at least three people. Why, because you only have one that's the one who's out of town. When this happens,

375
00:58:50.070 --> 00:59:08.100
Heidi Rosofsky: They need to know how to help someone specifically not making assumptions. This is a team that works together trains. Together they know how to assist. They know the supplies they know what to do and they plan practice and and and work together next

376
00:59:10.590 --> 00:59:17.190
Heidi Rosofsky: You know, they know the surf the earthquake safety actions they learn them together, they work together.

377
00:59:18.810 --> 00:59:22.020
Heidi Rosofsky: The expression is if you can't get back up. Don't get down.

378
00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:41.460
Heidi Rosofsky: There are earthquake country Alliance has has put together some things to do. If you can't get under a desk or get back up and out. So we have the drop, cover and hold. We have things on you know what to do.

379
00:59:42.390 --> 00:59:51.300
Heidi Rosofsky: Where you can find that information I'm practicing a certainly in key is key instructing others how to assist you.

380
00:59:51.660 --> 00:59:59.460
Heidi Rosofsky: But, you know, one of the things is that the the key issue, too, is you need again that check someone to check on you and that personal support team.

381
00:59:59.730 --> 01:00:07.170
Heidi Rosofsky: Because if you've gotten into a situation where you've protected yourself. But there's debris around you. You may not be able to get out of the

382
01:00:07.410 --> 01:00:22.500
Heidi Rosofsky: Your house or whatever it is, without someone helping you get out. So you may have done the right thing but step two, maybe part of what you need help with. So those actions and these know your safety actions are also part of the resources that we have

383
01:00:24.390 --> 01:00:25.080
Heidi Rosofsky: In the

384
01:00:26.910 --> 01:00:34.710
Heidi Rosofsky: On the resources for quick country alliance. We also have a wide variety of wonderful

385
01:00:36.180 --> 01:00:45.660
Heidi Rosofsky: pieces that are meant for the disability access and functional needs audience. There's an eight page guide that really goes into some very specific and meaty

386
01:00:46.380 --> 01:00:55.680
Heidi Rosofsky: Recommendations for that are relevant and specific for different types of disabilities. We have a video that

387
01:00:56.190 --> 01:01:07.590
Heidi Rosofsky: Is for mobility disabilities that was that the people that are showing the actual actually have disabilities that was done by people with disabilities for people with disabilities.

388
01:01:08.310 --> 01:01:17.310
Heidi Rosofsky: You know, we're working with seniors who do not necessarily identify with the disability community on getting appropriate messaging for them.

389
01:01:17.940 --> 01:01:28.680
Heidi Rosofsky: Um language guidelines for inclusive emergency management is a FEMA document that helps you understand, particularly for the disability community which is its own culture.

390
01:01:29.160 --> 01:01:37.890
Heidi Rosofsky: Like any other culture that you need to understand that culture and how best to approach them respectfully and remember that a lot of these

391
01:01:38.220 --> 01:01:46.320
Heidi Rosofsky: The age and and disability and things of that nature income and so forth crosses all color and racial lines.

392
01:01:47.220 --> 01:01:57.420
Heidi Rosofsky: racial and cultural lines. So we need to understand all cultural from all cultural basis from that aspect and make sure that we include

393
01:01:57.810 --> 01:02:14.040
Heidi Rosofsky: Our ability to provide messaging in called in a culturally correct context so that that it is accepted by the people that we are trying to get those messages to so those resources are available will be available on the

394
01:02:15.870 --> 01:02:32.850
Heidi Rosofsky: On the resource page that you have and I touched a little bit on the map your neighborhood and certain type of situation and to tell you just a brief bit about it is Margaret Vinci, who is my aunt, my, my coach your partner.

395
01:02:39.750 --> 01:02:41.970
Heidi Rosofsky: And as we said Margaret, is

396
01:02:44.010 --> 01:02:50.250
Heidi Rosofsky: Margaret has served as the manager of the office of the earthquake programs at Caltech since 1973

397
01:02:51.600 --> 01:02:55.410
Heidi Rosofsky: She's the coordinator of the Southern California regional

398
01:02:56.130 --> 01:03:08.550
Heidi Rosofsky: Shake alert earthquake early warning program and along with being one of my soap help partner chair co chair partners, Margaret has the distinction of being one of the earthquake country alliance and shakeout

399
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:22.650
Heidi Rosofsky: founding partners. She serves as passive demons pasadena's map your neighborhood coordinator and remains fiercely devoted to increasing business and community emergency preparedness and resilience. I give you, Margaret.

400
01:03:23.460 --> 01:03:37.560
Margaret Vinci: Thank you. Heidi and just, this is going to be a brief overview of our map your neighborhood program you've heard about that today, you've also heard about. It's all about survivability in a disaster is going to be neighbor helping neighbor.

401
01:03:38.370 --> 01:03:44.910
Margaret Vinci: To be able to survive. We all know that our first responder in a disaster is going to be the person next to you, but

402
01:03:45.360 --> 01:03:55.830
Margaret Vinci: How do you get to know that person next to you when you need it. And that is part of that is what the map your neighborhood program is it is a plan that helps you to create

403
01:03:56.220 --> 01:04:01.560
Margaret Vinci: The end to know your neighbors ahead of time to be able to then survive any disaster.

404
01:04:02.010 --> 01:04:09.480
Margaret Vinci: And so first of all you get to know your neighbors, you make a plan with your neighbors. So this is going to be specific to your neighborhood.

405
01:04:09.720 --> 01:04:15.600
Margaret Vinci: Do have a plan and the key to map your neighborhood is actually working it out with your neighbors.

406
01:04:15.870 --> 01:04:23.670
Margaret Vinci: Not one person having the plan and keeping it to themselves and directing everybody everybody in the neighborhood, creating that plan together.

407
01:04:24.000 --> 01:04:30.750
Margaret Vinci: And be and being a part of that plan and that is how the map your neighborhood works, you will see the acronym NY in

408
01:04:31.200 --> 01:04:35.220
Margaret Vinci: I will use that to shorten my presentation. It represents a map your neighborhood.

409
01:04:35.580 --> 01:04:45.810
Margaret Vinci: And so after neighborhood fills the gap between you and the community and the emergency responders. What do you do in the meantime, so it is divided up into two different

410
01:04:46.560 --> 01:04:53.100
Margaret Vinci: Projects. So first, you will recruit leaders in your group. So one block Captain that's going to take the lead organized neighborhood.

411
01:04:53.790 --> 01:05:01.500
Margaret Vinci: And with define your neighborhood neighborhood is between 18 and 22 household because you need to get details on within the first hour

412
01:05:02.220 --> 01:05:12.210
Margaret Vinci: And to be able to help with people. You're then going to scout the area. Look for assets. Look for risks in the neighborhood, you're going to create or identify a meeting place.

413
01:05:12.420 --> 01:05:17.730
Margaret Vinci: So in that disaster after you have kept your own household. You then need to go to a meeting place.

414
01:05:17.970 --> 01:05:29.940
Margaret Vinci: So we'll definitely have your neighborhood. It is a plan. So the outcome that disaster you scan on your front porch. Do you see now what do I do, and this is a plan that helps you to develop. What are you going to do after that. Next slide.

415
01:05:31.080 --> 01:05:37.080
Margaret Vinci: And so within the nine steps to map your neighborhood and the training for this takes about 90 minutes

416
01:05:37.380 --> 01:05:43.800
Margaret Vinci: And in that 90 minutes you will then learn how to, first of all, what are you doing immediately after that earthquake.

417
01:05:44.040 --> 01:05:51.360
Margaret Vinci: We are a multi hazard state. We are encoded right now. Many people are using map your neighborhood plan for coconut

418
01:05:51.720 --> 01:06:00.210
Margaret Vinci: In an earthquake. What do you need to do after that earthquake kits. The first six steps are part of the map your neighborhood program you're going to first of all dressed for safety.

419
01:06:00.570 --> 01:06:04.950
Margaret Vinci: But on your helmet, you're going to put on your hard hat and gloves, your security choose

420
01:06:05.250 --> 01:06:12.630
Margaret Vinci: And always dress for site safe, you need to take care of yourself first step for injuries in your household debt for leaking gas turn off the water

421
01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:20.520
Margaret Vinci: But it helping okay sign in the window, and then you go to your meeting place and that is the first steps as to what you do after an earthquake.

422
01:06:20.820 --> 01:06:24.750
Margaret Vinci: And then within your plan for map, you're never going to already a form teams.

423
01:06:25.080 --> 01:06:35.760
Margaret Vinci: And both teams within your body or gathering spot and then the teams will go out to each household there within kept for leaking gas, it will turn off the water, they will bring anybody that has special needs.

424
01:06:36.330 --> 01:06:42.810
Margaret Vinci: To know your neighbors to know who the needs are, who has animals. So if you're stuck at work, somebody and then able to feed.

425
01:06:43.740 --> 01:06:51.360
Margaret Vinci: Me feed your animals, they can carry a small children, knowing the elderly who needs help coming bringing them to the gathering spot.

426
01:06:51.750 --> 01:07:05.040
Margaret Vinci: And so those teams will go out, do their job and then everybody will survive together in a meeting place with potent that might be a little bit different. You might have to have distancing but that's okay that's being actually done today. Next slide.

427
01:07:07.170 --> 01:07:16.230
Margaret Vinci: And so actually in the coronavirus many of our map your neighborhood teams. I've been in contact with those in Pasadena. Many of our map your neighborhood teams are actually

428
01:07:17.100 --> 01:07:24.930
Margaret Vinci: Working their plan. So they have been connecting with their neighbors, they may not be able to go door to door and check on them, but they have been calling them.

429
01:07:25.350 --> 01:07:30.960
Margaret Vinci: texting them eating in daily contact with their neighbors need to know the neighbors, a lot better.

430
01:07:31.680 --> 01:07:39.870
Margaret Vinci: I've seen some map your neighbor neighborhoods, being able to put out lawn chairs in front of their house and then they can talk to the neighbor that that is next.

431
01:07:40.170 --> 01:07:49.590
Margaret Vinci: Door. And so at happy hour be able to do that, picking up groceries or prescriptions are running errands for some of the people in the neighborhood said give you too fearful to bow out

432
01:07:50.100 --> 01:08:01.140
Margaret Vinci: Because of their age or because of different risks and being able to run those errands. This has been an issue with one of the limitations with the throne of our virus is our volunteers.

433
01:08:01.770 --> 01:08:12.150
Margaret Vinci: Any of the volunteers themselves or elderly, maybe they have certain medical risk. And so that is a limitation, but many of our neighborhoods are working through that they have discovered secondary plans.

434
01:08:12.780 --> 01:08:16.710
Margaret Vinci: Bringing in maybe even some of their friends to be able to help out as well.

435
01:08:17.160 --> 01:08:22.290
Margaret Vinci: And so these are some of the things that our map your neighborhood are doing now communicating with our neighbors.

436
01:08:22.680 --> 01:08:30.420
Margaret Vinci: These are some of the resources. So where do you go to learn about your neighborhood. We actually will be planning a training here in our country alliance.

437
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:36.990
Margaret Vinci: Please let us know if you're interested in that 9090 minute training so that you can become the advocate in your neighborhood.

438
01:08:37.290 --> 01:08:44.940
Margaret Vinci: Bring it back to your neighborhood. We will also help you to create resources, the implication that you will need to invite people to the neighborhood.

439
01:08:45.180 --> 01:08:52.530
Margaret Vinci: Hope you walk the neighborhood help you invite the neighbors walk you through that. But these are some of the resources that you can go to to find out more about that.

440
01:08:52.830 --> 01:08:59.040
Margaret Vinci: And these again will be on our website. I would be remiss because I am aim to shake alert regional coordinator

441
01:08:59.370 --> 01:09:06.660
Margaret Vinci: And in an earthquake. We also need to know what to do. So know that we do have now have the ability to provide if you set up the warning.

442
01:09:07.200 --> 01:09:17.010
Margaret Vinci: Really have an impending curse, depending on where you are. You will receive alert before, during or after depending on your location and distance from that earthquake zone.

443
01:09:17.550 --> 01:09:33.360
Margaret Vinci: But we do now have the ability to provide that alert. So please go to and download one of the three apps that is now being tested for earthquake early warning and one is my shake. The other one is quick alert USA and the third one is shake alert la

444
01:09:34.440 --> 01:09:44.070
Margaret Vinci: La is for LA County, you have to be in LA County to get that alert and of course you will get an alert if it meets the threshold, depending on where you are and and the

445
01:09:44.700 --> 01:09:57.090
Margaret Vinci: Intensity of checking for that particular is Republic alerting that it also for automated operations will be able to open fire station doors open elevators, slow down, trains, being able to stop surgeries.

446
01:09:57.570 --> 01:10:13.050
Margaret Vinci: Things that can create to eliminate damaged during that earthquake, so please go and download one of the apps to be able to get that alert for early warning at the at the brief overview that I wanted to then be able to provide so that as you hear us talk about

447
01:10:14.100 --> 01:10:26.130
Margaret Vinci: Your neighbors, do you have an idea of what that is. And so, let us know if you want more information and training and we will be able to provide that to you. So I'm not going to turn everything over to our

448
01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:31.590
Margaret Vinci: Backyard or Margaret to our founder of country alliance. Uh huh.

449
01:10:31.980 --> 01:10:33.210
Margaret Vinci: We have one question. Yep.

450
01:10:34.200 --> 01:10:38.730
Gabriela Noriega: Okay, now is, is there a train the trainer for map your neighbor.

451
01:10:40.320 --> 01:10:43.230
Margaret Vinci: There is a train the trainer. I do the training here.

452
01:10:44.280 --> 01:10:45.270
Margaret Vinci: in Pasadena.

453
01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:56.340
Margaret Vinci: With Cogan and I had to cancel the last one, but we will, as soon as we can have another training, looking at different options to have those online. So I might do a webinar online for that.

454
01:10:56.700 --> 01:11:12.360
Margaret Vinci: As soon as if you can provide me with your information, then I will certainly let you know when we do have a training here LA City also does matter your neighborhood they have trainings. So as soon as posted, we will let you know when those things are going, going on the train the trainer.

455
01:11:14.190 --> 01:11:15.750
Margaret Vinci: And so I'm going to

456
01:11:17.880 --> 01:11:19.890
Mark Benthien: The merchant who asked that question is actually

457
01:11:19.890 --> 01:11:23.220
Mark Benthien: Joining us looks like from humbled to the northern end of the state. So,

458
01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:30.210
Mark Benthien: I'm saying locally. There may be matter neighborhood programs. So, contact your local Office of Emergency Services.

459
01:11:31.860 --> 01:11:40.620
Margaret Vinci: Yeah. And if they say, or not this was created by the state of Washington. So you can go to their, their on the reference desert that I provided

460
01:11:40.890 --> 01:11:45.720
Margaret Vinci: You can go to the state of Washington. They have all the things or you can call me, you can contact me.

461
01:11:46.560 --> 01:12:01.650
Margaret Vinci: I will have Mark provide you with my contact information, I am happy to walk you through this program on myself. There is videos online that you can do it. And I can help. I can provide you any digital documents that I have for map your neighborhood.

462
01:12:03.510 --> 01:12:11.040
Gabriela Noriega: And last question. Kimberly was asking, are the apps available on iOS and Android.

463
01:12:12.270 --> 01:12:13.920
Margaret Vinci: Yes, they are. Yes.

464
01:12:15.210 --> 01:12:15.630
Gabriela Noriega: Thank you.

465
01:12:19.710 --> 01:12:25.470
Mark Benthien: There are a few other questions that will come back to at the end, I'm going to just very quickly go through

466
01:12:26.550 --> 01:12:28.830
Mark Benthien: The slides I have for you this morning.

467
01:12:30.750 --> 01:12:38.610
Mark Benthien: These present the whole presentation and the recording again will be available for you to to download in view.

468
01:12:39.810 --> 01:12:54.690
Mark Benthien: By tomorrow. Some aspects are already on the website, you'll see that link coming up soon. A lot of the links that have been presented today. One of the things that we really want you to understand is that what you can do now, even when yours.

469
01:12:55.740 --> 01:13:06.480
Mark Benthien: stuck at home, your shelter in place or your, you know, in this situation, there are some steps that you can take for your overall preparedness and specifically for earthquake preparedness.

470
01:13:06.810 --> 01:13:24.210
Mark Benthien: And one of those really key things of the seven steps to earthquake safety is what we call secure your space and this is identifying things that might fall or fly at UC carrying them so that they won't do. So that to reduce injuries and damage. So you can see here, your top heavy furniture.

471
01:13:25.230 --> 01:13:27.150
Mark Benthien: Your TVs and electronics

472
01:13:28.890 --> 01:13:39.270
Mark Benthien: Your wall hangings, all of these types of ways to secure things are shown on the slides just for a matter of time. I'm not going to go in depth here.

473
01:13:39.660 --> 01:13:47.490
Mark Benthien: But you can see. And you can also view this in the PowerPoint itself and on our website at earthquake country.org slash. Step one.

474
01:13:47.970 --> 01:14:01.020
Mark Benthien: smaller items can be secured with putty and wax is really quite effective for at least in the maybe not the biggest earthquakes. The largest shaking but preventing these things from falling because you bumped them one day.

475
01:14:02.010 --> 01:14:10.710
Mark Benthien: kitchen cabinets are really important to secure the top cabinets, because they can prevent that big mess that you might have in the broken glass, you might have and the loss of

476
01:14:11.130 --> 01:14:19.440
Mark Benthien: Food and other objects. Other things that you need. After I just asked her, and very importantly, to have. Make sure that your gas appliances are

477
01:14:19.830 --> 01:14:31.200
Mark Benthien: Secure to the wall so they don't break their get gas connections and fall. You don't want to lose your water and your water heater so security that there will be very helpful for that purpose. So today.

478
01:14:32.070 --> 01:14:41.820
Mark Benthien: Like right now right after the webinar, you can move something that's heavy to her lower location and it won't fall and hurt you, even if the earthquake were to happen, this afternoon.

479
01:14:42.630 --> 01:14:51.270
Mark Benthien: Go to the website earthquake country.org slash. Step one. To see a variety of ways that you can see here a variety of types of objects in your home or workplace.

480
01:14:51.600 --> 01:15:00.510
Mark Benthien: Make a plan for doing that. These are items that you can order online to be delivered to you so you can do that work. You can perhaps go to home improvement store.

481
01:15:01.200 --> 01:15:18.030
Mark Benthien: They all have these types of straps and different types of ways that you can secure your space. We also will be sending out information about a special webinar on this topic plan for June 11 where we all even should have live video of people taking this these actions.

482
01:15:19.500 --> 01:15:22.020
Mark Benthien: So overall the seven steps earthquake safety.

483
01:15:23.400 --> 01:15:29.670
Mark Benthien: Start with that earthquakes. You want to make sure you secured things. So you're not injured in the first place, then you can put your plan into place.

484
01:15:29.970 --> 01:15:36.120
Mark Benthien: That you've developed in advance and of course how to protect yourself during earthquakes drop, cover and hold on all these

485
01:15:36.780 --> 01:15:42.840
Mark Benthien: Resources are available on our website at earthquake country.org and in Spanish, which are most.org

486
01:15:43.530 --> 01:15:55.350
Mark Benthien: And of course, we are also the coordinator of shakeout in California. And I'll talk about that in a second. But there are a lot of resources to that you can get from our website earthquake country.org slash stay safe.

487
01:15:55.860 --> 01:16:05.610
Mark Benthien: Is a set of booklets that are in multiple languages online English, Spanish and Chinese. You can also, we also have 10 regional versions in English.

488
01:16:06.270 --> 01:16:17.610
Mark Benthien: That you can find that have more custom information for, for example, in the SoCal region. So Cal coast Ventura la in Orange County, Illinois. So Cal

489
01:16:18.630 --> 01:16:25.950
Mark Benthien: Riverside San Bernardino and Imperial County and for San Diego. And then there are other booklet versions for other parts of the state to

490
01:16:27.210 --> 01:16:36.300
Mark Benthien: We do have sector based committees that we encourage you all to be a part of you can join us by emailing info at earthquake country or if you'd like to contribute to

491
01:16:36.660 --> 01:16:48.360
Mark Benthien: The creation of resources for these different sectors to outreach to the sectors and we really would welcome your participation as part of being a member of ECA

492
01:16:50.070 --> 01:17:00.990
Mark Benthien: One of those examples of that is what the seniors and people with disabilities committee have created. As mentioned earlier, you can get these resources that earthquake country.org slash disability.

493
01:17:02.610 --> 01:17:16.770
Mark Benthien: And also mentioned what to do during earthquakes. We have these this graphic that you can share. We also have videos that go over what that information is and what really show people what to do in different situations.

494
01:17:17.730 --> 01:17:23.610
Mark Benthien: Great ShakeOut will be happening this year it will likely be different than it's been in many years because of

495
01:17:24.750 --> 01:17:32.850
Mark Benthien: The current situation at the time and you know there's a lot of uncertainty of what we're all going to be dealing with still by October, but

496
01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:37.860
Mark Benthien: You know, last year we had 10.8 million, California. And so it was a record year

497
01:17:38.550 --> 01:17:54.960
Mark Benthien: Participation, we're not expecting that this year because of the situation. But one of the goals we have is to really be encouraging more at home drills. So organizations and schools have been having, you know, drills with their employees and students.

498
01:17:57.030 --> 01:18:08.520
Mark Benthien: That's what you do with the earthquake happens when you're at work or at school. Well, we want people to be practicing what to do at home as well. We spend more time out of work in school than we do at home.

499
01:18:09.630 --> 01:18:20.790
Mark Benthien: And normally, all right now. But how do we adapt the drills to where organizations can coordinate them in that way. So be looking for information about that.

500
01:18:21.780 --> 01:18:38.070
Mark Benthien: Here are those videos I mentioned to you that are available for what you can use to help educate people that you can download these you can link to these share them on social media right now. Great way and making sure people are getting good safety information. So with that,

501
01:18:39.090 --> 01:18:47.820
Mark Benthien: Do we have any questions for me directly. Looks like not but we have other questions for our final Q AMP. A Gabby.

502
01:18:49.020 --> 01:18:49.320
Mark Benthien: Sure.

503
01:18:49.530 --> 01:19:05.340
Gabriela Noriega: We have one question. I think it's a good question for the panel with hundreds of thousands in apartments and condominiums. How would resident build resiliency during extended power outages since generators are not authorized in this communities.

504
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:15.360
Mark Benthien: Jenny is that maybe a question that you might have some insights on or or anyone

505
01:19:18.600 --> 01:19:27.570
Margaret Vinci: Well if Jenny doesn't with the map your neighborhood program at. We also include working with apartments breaking up into floors. So each floor work.

506
01:19:28.020 --> 01:19:35.220
Margaret Vinci: Individually as a neighborhood. And of course, this again is going to be part of your supplies, knowing the elevators are not going to be working

507
01:19:36.120 --> 01:19:42.180
Margaret Vinci: Knowing the needs of people for evacuation and how you're going to get them out of that building with elevators not working.

508
01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:53.970
Margaret Vinci: With the lap of electricity. This is going to be part of your planning of being able to to be able to have lighting is number one. So the Jordan dark being able to have solar

509
01:19:55.140 --> 01:20:07.140
Margaret Vinci: Way ways of so there's so solar batteries or solar lights that you can get to put up and being able to have those supplies and electricity is probably the one thing we did not see it in this disaster.

510
01:20:07.620 --> 01:20:11.430
Margaret Vinci: So, people didn't need to be buying water because water was being come to their house.

511
01:20:12.090 --> 01:20:25.470
Margaret Vinci: And we had communication with this disaster. You're also not going to have that maybe with an earthquake, so you will be your world will be your neighborhood and being able to then have that neighborhood prepared for these last these things that you're not going to build

512
01:20:26.970 --> 01:20:34.200
Heidi Rosofsky: Basically this is Heidi basically one of the issues. The biggest question that I get asked regarding that has to do with

513
01:20:35.250 --> 01:20:44.280
Heidi Rosofsky: refrigerated medication. And so one of the ways that and I have a refrigerated medication. So my workaround.

514
01:20:44.790 --> 01:20:52.890
Heidi Rosofsky: Is in my medication comes with something that it actually tells me you know when it's you know nearest temperature

515
01:20:53.550 --> 01:21:04.890
Heidi Rosofsky: I leave it in the refrigerator till it starts getting too warm. I put it in the freezer until it starts getting to room temperature. And then if you get this small kind of like the lunch or the small style.

516
01:21:06.990 --> 01:21:08.160
Heidi Rosofsky: What they call the

517
01:21:09.990 --> 01:21:10.800
Heidi Rosofsky: That you can put

518
01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:29.850
Heidi Rosofsky: I can figure, the word they're there. They keep things cold that and like that you can put a sandwich or a drink or something in, and you get the, the type of chemical ice packs from the drugstore. You can crack those and and help keep things cold and those

519
01:21:30.960 --> 01:21:31.620
Heidi Rosofsky: Type of

520
01:21:32.790 --> 01:21:41.640
Heidi Rosofsky: Small containers that are meant to keep you know food cold or something that you, you know, you know, if you take it with you for lunch or something like that. So if you get

521
01:21:41.670 --> 01:21:52.110
Mark Benthien: Started with a soft sided cooler of some sort. Yes, yes, something like that. So you so you can't you have that multiple step and those, those, those chemical, you know,

522
01:21:52.710 --> 01:21:59.640
Heidi Rosofsky: Kind of ice packs that you break open for injuries are easily stored in an earthquake kit as a backup.

523
01:22:02.790 --> 01:22:03.690
Mark Benthien: I see a question.

524
01:22:04.500 --> 01:22:05.250
Mark Benthien: About the

525
01:22:05.760 --> 01:22:22.950
Mark Benthien: Number for minimize financial hardship. I didn't touch on that. That is really where you're looking at you know what our greatest financial hardship. If you're a homeowner might be damage to your house. So what can you do to retrofit your older home if it, if it's especially

526
01:22:24.030 --> 01:22:39.210
Mark Benthien: Built perhaps before 1980 might be looking at ways to improve it. So we'll have less damage, of course, securing your space while also prevent loss of valuables. But you can also consider earthquake insurance and

527
01:22:40.350 --> 01:22:48.930
Mark Benthien: In all of that information is listed at earthquake country.org slash. Step four. So just go to our website to look for more about that.

528
01:22:49.500 --> 01:23:00.210
Mark Benthien: I also see a question about, you know, child care setting and in a rainy day. What are some recommendations for teachers and students to do in a rainy day. I assume that means if an earthquake were to happen.

529
01:23:01.170 --> 01:23:12.660
Mark Benthien: On a rainy day just not general recommendations and, you know, this is really where it's key to to adapt your response plan, whether you might be

530
01:23:13.710 --> 01:23:23.970
Mark Benthien: Moving outside because you want to make sure that you're building this not damaged or perhaps to do an assessment of everyone being okay, especially for a school

531
01:23:25.140 --> 01:23:31.980
Mark Benthien: If it's a very rainy day and it doesn't seem like you have immediate damage. You may not be

532
01:23:33.330 --> 01:23:42.210
Mark Benthien: Having your meeting place outside. So that has to be part of your plan, what would you do, and your and that's going to vary from building and school to child care setting.

533
01:23:42.780 --> 01:23:56.520
Mark Benthien: It's really going to be based on what you have available to you. So just always be adapting your plan and having that those types of considerations are really what this webinar has been all about what would you do if it wasn't like, you know, your normal plan.

534
01:24:00.390 --> 01:24:09.030
Heidi Rosofsky: You know, the whole process of planning, you know, is to really think have bring those questions up and think about, you know,

535
01:24:09.630 --> 01:24:19.980
Heidi Rosofsky: If the things I regularly use on a day to day basis are not available to me. What are my workarounds. What am I going to do, what am I going to need and whether or not you

536
01:24:20.400 --> 01:24:40.020
Heidi Rosofsky: Are a member of the access and functional needs community or not. You really have to assess your personal situation and take a look at what you use on a need on a regular daily basis and take a look at what happens if that's not available, and how are you going to bridge that gap.

537
01:24:41.550 --> 01:24:49.170
Mark Benthien: Thanks it. I'm going to read it. It's, it's more of a not a question but information being shared by Steve Granada.

538
01:24:49.590 --> 01:24:53.910
Mark Benthien: Says, people might consider using rechargeable power banks with solar panels.

539
01:24:54.360 --> 01:25:07.620
Mark Benthien: They are relatively more expensive than gasoline generators and they didn't have the same wattage or of life. Still, they may be a major improvement over no backup power and have a renewable energy source because their solar and there are

540
01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:10.830
Mark Benthien: I'm seeing more and more of these.

541
01:25:11.190 --> 01:25:14.040
Mark Benthien: becoming available as the technology improves

542
01:25:14.430 --> 01:25:17.250
Mark Benthien: And it may provide that for your needs.

543
01:25:19.470 --> 01:25:33.240
Mark Benthien: We also have a question that back to Margaret, we have a little time for I know this is a maybe a complicated answer. But why is the shake alert app not working during real earthquakes.

544
01:25:34.110 --> 01:25:44.160
Margaret Vinci: Okay, the shake alert app is working, you may not be receiving the alert, because it is not meeting the intensity threshold in your area so

545
01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:57.030
Margaret Vinci: The app, the alert is being delivered. If it magnitude is a 4.5 earthquake and the intensity of shaking is a level three or above at your location so

546
01:25:57.990 --> 01:26:07.230
Margaret Vinci: The earthquakes that occurred in July did not trigger the apps in in Los Angeles, because the shaking here was only an intensity to

547
01:26:07.680 --> 01:26:16.890
Margaret Vinci: It wasn't intensity eight at Red Cross, but as those ways propagate outward a dimension strength. So by the time they reached us here in Los Angeles.

548
01:26:17.130 --> 01:26:24.060
Margaret Vinci: They were only an intensity to it, not trigger the app because they answered set a trigger at an intensity three

549
01:26:24.480 --> 01:26:37.290
Margaret Vinci: With a magnitude 4.5 earthquake, because that's the image is going to start to occur at a make an intensity for now as we get feedback from people that say no. They want those tools. Anyway, even though there's not going to be Tammy.

550
01:26:38.070 --> 01:26:47.820
Margaret Vinci: USGS may decide to lower that level, but we're making now that that level is said in intensity three and shaking where you are or a magnitude 4.5 verse

551
01:26:49.410 --> 01:26:52.410
Margaret Vinci: But it was working it has worked in all of our earthquakes.

552
01:26:52.920 --> 01:27:04.830
Mark Benthien: So I've shared a picture of the shake Bap from the that very large earthquake last July. And you can see that near the epicenter. It was had severe shaking, but

553
01:27:05.790 --> 01:27:15.090
Mark Benthien: Most people in the more populated areas of southern California only experienced very weak shaking. And so we're not notified that there was an earthquake.

554
01:27:17.280 --> 01:27:21.750
Mark Benthien: And so it's a really depend on where you are in terms of what type of notification. You'll receive

555
01:27:22.080 --> 01:27:29.580
Margaret Vinci: Yeah, and actually during that earthquake, the intensity of shaking was actually set higher. It was a set at a level four of shaking

556
01:27:30.030 --> 01:27:36.960
Margaret Vinci: And that was lowered. After that, even when people reported that they would like to feel have a three at

557
01:27:37.380 --> 01:27:47.430
Margaret Vinci: The app to trigger at a lower intensity. So even if they even though there's no damage they would still like to know it. So it was Lord from a fort with three after the ridgecrest earthquake.

558
01:27:48.030 --> 01:27:56.790
Margaret Vinci: It's finding that balance between what are people going to complain about and what are they going to complain for on either side. So feedback is important.

559
01:28:01.230 --> 01:28:10.770
Mark Benthien: There's also a comment that it would seem like the Merc modified Mark Holly scale would be most useful to us. Generally, and not depend on the Richter scale.

560
01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:19.950
Margaret Vinci: Actually, that's exactly right. And we are trying to wean people over we have for the past several years actually been trying to win people over to understanding

561
01:28:20.700 --> 01:28:29.700
Margaret Vinci: Intensity or magnitude is on the Richter scale that is the spring that that earthquake. So, that is what how how scientists

562
01:28:30.090 --> 01:28:36.660
Margaret Vinci: Label after is quite as based on the amount of shape amount of energy that was created and that is called magnitude

563
01:28:37.230 --> 01:28:43.140
Margaret Vinci: At does not take whatever's going the earthquake is a magnitude five or six or seven does not change.

564
01:28:43.650 --> 01:28:50.760
Margaret Vinci: What does change is the intensity and that's what you care about is what are you going to feel because that is going to translate into damage.

565
01:28:51.000 --> 01:29:01.830
Margaret Vinci: So what do you actually care about is nothing magnitude because we can have a 7.8 on the San Andreas Fault and maybe that doesn't affect you and you might be further away from that event, but

566
01:29:02.130 --> 01:29:07.350
Margaret Vinci: So what you care about is intensity is of shaking and that is the modified more calories scale.

567
01:29:07.620 --> 01:29:16.410
Margaret Vinci: Of one to 10 one being not felt two and three things are falling off the shelves four or five and six. You're starting to have damaged to building just starting to have casualties.

568
01:29:16.650 --> 01:29:27.030
Margaret Vinci: 789 years starting have heavy casualties fatalities and heavy damage to the buildings. And so that's really what to care about is the intensity of shaking but message is

569
01:29:27.300 --> 01:29:33.720
Margaret Vinci: When you get an alert or when you feel shaking drug cover HOLD ON TAPE protective actions now.

570
01:29:33.960 --> 01:29:44.790
Margaret Vinci: Because you don't know if an earthquake is going to become larger and shaking is going to get stronger. So even if it's like shaking still take protective actions practitioner rocker. Hold on.

571
01:29:45.060 --> 01:29:50.850
Margaret Vinci: If it was only an intensity to it, your location. All you've done is practice and that's what we want you to do anyway.

572
01:29:55.830 --> 01:30:03.480
Mark Benthien: Thank you, Margaret. There's also a comment. There are many apps that you can install to track. Smaller events and one distinction between

573
01:30:03.870 --> 01:30:16.650
Mark Benthien: A lot of those apps that are out there and had been available for many years is that they're letting you know where the earthquake was usually within a minute or two or three after the earthquake stop shaking so

574
01:30:16.740 --> 01:30:17.970
Mark Benthien: You see that information.

575
01:30:18.660 --> 01:30:28.710
Mark Benthien: Earthquake early warning app like my shake is telling you that the earthquake is on its way. And this it's a much faster message that is going out.

576
01:30:29.580 --> 01:30:39.330
Mark Benthien: If you are too close to the earthquake, you won't get it in time. But if you are kind of far enough away, you will get that notice and was Margaret said act immediately.

577
01:30:39.780 --> 01:30:48.000
Margaret Vinci: Yeah. And so what you're talking about here is a co size me tool of earthquake early warning, the earth is happening on a prediction. The earthquake is happening.

578
01:30:48.390 --> 01:30:59.940
Margaret Vinci: versus earthquake notification, which is information sent after the earthquake. Now all workstations have reported accurate information about the magnitude location in depth better is quick.

579
01:31:01.170 --> 01:31:02.670
Margaret Vinci: And that you can get at

580
01:31:03.780 --> 01:31:10.590
Margaret Vinci: Through the USGS is called ns. And so you can go to their website and sign up for earthquake notification.

581
01:31:12.840 --> 01:31:28.770
Mark Benthien: Okay, there's one final question here before we end it and it's without emergency services available during a disaster. How might residents contain a house fire that evolves beyond handheld fire extinguishers

582
01:31:30.090 --> 01:31:31.980
Margaret Vinci: Hmm. Good question.

583
01:31:35.910 --> 01:31:43.470
Mark Benthien: This is also related to, if the fire department's not able to come. I think it's really comes down to, again, your plan. Consider that possibility.

584
01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:53.850
Mark Benthien: And work with your local fire department get information on what ways, it might be to to to help that situation, but it may be more of the response of getting yourself safe.

585
01:31:54.870 --> 01:32:03.600
Mark Benthien: And not trying to put out a large structure fire with an extinguisher as, as mentioned in this question, but what other

586
01:32:05.280 --> 01:32:08.340
Mark Benthien: Tools, you might have Jenny, did you have any insight on that.

587
01:32:10.200 --> 01:32:10.890
Mark Benthien: By chance,

588
01:32:11.130 --> 01:32:23.100
Jenny Novak: I'm just a one on one thought or idea because I don't think that you'll be able to do very much to save a structure in that situation. While it's already happening. But I think that possibly

589
01:32:23.460 --> 01:32:33.780
Jenny Novak: Consider some of the the mitigation that we advise people that live in wildfire hazard areas to do so don't have vegetation close to your house don't have

590
01:32:34.350 --> 01:32:43.800
Jenny Novak: A wood patio. The type of roof, you have, I think that some of those things could could minimize the damage or cause or prevent the fire from spreading.

591
01:32:43.980 --> 01:32:53.490
Jenny Novak: To other buildings or through your backyard and everything. I don't think there's too much you can do, though, if you know what water pressure might be compromised and you don't have the tools, but

592
01:32:53.760 --> 01:33:05.070
Jenny Novak: You know mitigation first removing dead and dying brush from near your house. I think is a good rule of thumb, even if you're not in a wildfire hazard area for that reason.

593
01:33:05.430 --> 01:33:12.060
Margaret Vinci: And you can also, if you have a pool, you can utilize a pump system to pump the water out of your pool.

594
01:33:12.360 --> 01:33:22.830
Margaret Vinci: And so a pool may not be drinkable in an earthquake that you can use it for hygiene and for putting out fires and that would have been would be part of your preparedness to have a pump that you're able to do that. My

595
01:33:23.310 --> 01:33:27.090
Mark Benthien: Question is, should people install both my shake

596
01:33:27.150 --> 01:33:30.180
Mark Benthien: And shake alert la if they're in the Los Angeles area.

597
01:33:30.660 --> 01:33:38.280
Margaret Vinci: That's a very good question, know that all of these apps are under test mode, we really do not know how the cell phones are going to perform in a disaster.

598
01:33:38.640 --> 01:33:49.110
Margaret Vinci: And right now running all three are they going to cancel each other out. We don't know so far they have not. And so to run them, you can

599
01:33:49.770 --> 01:33:57.960
Margaret Vinci: We would definitely like your feedback on that. But knowing these apps are still under test mode. We've not had a lot of large earthquakes to actually test.
