This Fleet Week, San Francisco put preparedness into practice.   Today, the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management, in partnership with San Francisco Public Works, the Department of Building Inspection, the Office of Resilience and Capital Planning, and the San Francisco Fire Department, hosted the Fleet Week Capstone Functional Exercise. The exercise brought together over 40 local, state, regional, federal, private-sector, volunteer, and military partners and over 200 participants to strengthen how we coordinate in the aftermath of a major earthquake.   As part of the exercise, San Francisco stood up the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC), a multi-agency Incident Command Post, and the Public Works and Department of Building Inspection Department Operations Center (DOC) to practice coordination across multiple levels of emergency response.   This year’s exercise focused on post-earthquake response and recovery, including emergency route clearance, situational awareness, interagency coordination, resource request and logistics, and the evaluation of buildings, facilities, and critical infrastructure for safety.   Fleet Week also provides an important opportunity to exercise alongside our military and federal partners while they are in San Francisco, strengthening the coordination that would be critical following a major disaster. @SFFDPIO @SF_CityADM @sfdbi @sfpublicworks

Air quality is expected to continue to be unhealthy for sensitive groups today.  Children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with heart or lung conditions should limit outdoor activity. Avoid prolonged or intense outdoor exercise if you’re in a sensitive group. It’s OK to be active outside, but take more breaks and choose less intense activities. Watch for symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath. People with asthma should follow their asthma action plans and keep quick-relief medicine handy.

Heating up this week! 🌡️ Heading to the coast to cool off? The water is a bit warmer than usual, but don't let your guard down. Rip currents are a sneaky threat. If you enter the water it's best to be near a lifeguard and stay safe! 🌊🏖️ #cawx

A mountain lion was spotted in the area of 44th and Ulloa. Animal Care and Control is on scene. If you see the mountain lion, slowly back away, do not run. Call Animal Care & Control at 415-554-9400 or 911 in a life safety emergency.   If you have a child with you - pick them up - and keep dogs on leash. If the mountain lion approaches - make yourself ‘big’ wave your arms, shout, throw something, and again, do not run.
