UPDATE FROM THE MAYOR August 21, 2020 This week has been an emotional and life changing week for many in the Bay Area and all around California. There are currently 370 fires burning across California, including fires in San Mateo County. While property in South San Francisco has not been affected, there is a good chance that we all know people impacted by these fires. Sadly, several of our City Staff have lost their homes due to the fires, and our hearts go out to them. Please be mindful to watch out for any fires and if you see any active flames, please call 9-1-1 immediately. We are in the heart of fire season and it is important that we catch active flames sooner than later. Take care, too, to avoid the smoke if possible. Make sure to check up on loved ones, especially since we are also still in the midst of a pandemic. As of August 20, 2020, there are 7,472 reported COVID-19 cases with 128 deaths in San Mateo County. In South San Francisco, there are 755 positive cases. The county is sharing data daily on the cases, which can be found here. Visit San Mateo County's All Together Better website here to explore local data on a broad range of topics, such as demographic information, health outcomes and important resources in our County. We are still on the State's COVID-19 Monitoring List, but I am hopeful that San Mateo County can follow suit of Calaveras, Napa, Placer, Santa Cruz, and San Diego county whom have all recently been removed from the monitoring list. Please continue to stay home, wash your hands, and social distance at least 6' from others. Stay strong. We will get through this together. The City of South San Francisco is here for you. We have set up a dedicated website, www.ssf.net/Coronavirus which is updated daily with new information and resources. I also encourage you to sign up for our citywide email distribution list. We can also be reached via email at [email protected] or we're just a phone call away, (650) 877-8502. COVID-19 Testing San Mateo County's free COVID-19 testing is available without restriction to anyone, although appointments are required.

Orange Pool Temporarily Closing Again Unfortunately new direction from state government concerning the state's COVID- 19 restrictions require us to shut down the city swimming pool. This will be effective starting tomorrow, Saturday, August 22nd. Firefighters Deployed to Help our Neighbors The City has deployed some of our SSF firefighters to help with fires in California. Battalion Chief Chris Campagna and his strike team continues to provide structure protection for areas affected by the River Fire in Salinas. The incident has grown to 35,000 acres and is 7% contained. Captain Brian Wisler and his Incident Management Team have assumed responsibility for the North Complex fire in the Plumas National Forest. That complex includes numerous fires and is 8,600 acres with an estimated 0% containment. Firefighter Paramedic Leo Granados continues to serve as a Line Paramedic for the firefighters actively engage at the Loyalton Fire, approximately 30 miles North of Lake Tahoe. The Loyalton Fire is 47,000 acres with 38% containment. Engine 161 with Captain Todd Rael, Engineer Stanley, Firefighter Broughton, and Firefighter Hagar have been incredibly busy providing structure protection in both San Mateo County and Santa Cruz Counties as part of a strike team response to the CZU August Lighting Complex. E161 is currently in the Bolder Creek Area as the fire moves southward towards Highway 17. The August Lightning Complex 40,000 acres with 0% containment. Our SSF Police Department has also contributed to the effort, helping to evacuate residents in the Pescadero area due to a nearby fire. Our thoughts are with our brave first responders and hope they soon return home safely. 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment Granting Women the Vote This past week the City ran a social media campaign featuring 5 incredible and remarkable women in our South San Francisco community relating their stories and the importance of the 19th amendment. Our speakers include U.S. Representative Jackie Speier, Councilmember Karyl Matsumoto, Councilmember Flor Nicolas, City Clerk Rosa Govea Acosta, and Vice Chair of the Personnel Board Frances Luster. Check out the campaign on our following social media pages: Facebook Twitter Nextdoor MyNabes YouTube We will also be lighting up City Hall with gold and purple lights on August 26 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment.

    Valley air about to get worse as wildfire smoke has nowhere to go By Corin Hoggard and Dale Yurong Tuesday, September 29, 2020 FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Air quality is about to take a turn for the worse as a changing weather pattern will combine with wildfires to fill the Central Valley with smoke again. The last few months have produced a stretch of the worst air quality on record, according to the Air Pollution Control District. Satellite images show smoke gently blowing from several California fires out to the Pacific Ocean, a weather pattern keeping the Valley's air relatively clean for several days now. "Right now we're seeing the smoke aloft," said Maricela Velasquez of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. "It's above us. But as the week goes through, we'll continue to see that smoke come onto the Valley floor." Here's how: When you have a fire in the Central Valley -- which is essentially just a bowl -- the smoke can usually get out and air quality won't be bad everywhere. But when a high pressure system comes in, it essentially puts a lid on the bowl and the smoke has nowhere to go so it just collects on the Valley floor. "The blocking high, basically, once it sits over a certain spot it likes to stay there for quite a while," said meteorologist Carlos Molina of the National Weather Service in Hanford. Forecasters at the NWS say the lid will sit on our bowl for at least a week. Air Quality Science Director Jon Klassen of the Valley Air District said, "We're expecting that to continue in the coming days." By that time, our air will have collected smoke from the Creek Fire, the SQF Complex Fire, and even more recent fires to our west, like the Glass Fire in the Bay Area.

    Northeastern California Ethanol Manufacturing Feasibility Study

    Northeastern California Ethanol Manufacturing Feasibility Study Prepared by: Quincy Library Group California Energy Commission -f California Institute of Food and Agricultural Research Plumas Corporation TSS Consultants National Renewable Energy Laboratory November 1997 'tt NREIJTP-580-24676 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The State of California is facedwith severalcritical issues relatedto how its biomassresources are used and managed.In particular,due to suppressionof forestfires, large quantitiesof dead/diseased treesand underbrush have accumulatedin the forest,creating dangerousfuel loadingwhich threatens human life and property. Resultingfires are so intensethat they destroythe forest ecosystem.In addition,the unnaturalecosystem producedby fire suppressionis endangeringforest health. To deal with theseissues, the Quincy Library Group has put forth a plan to strategicallythin the forestsso as to reducefire danger,improve forest health, and restoreecosystem balance. However, a key questionis what will be donewith the smallertrees (both live and dead)once they are removed from the forests. This reportpresents the resultsof onepotential use of the biomass- conversion to fuel ethanol and cogenerated electricity.This option has appeal in that the technologyfor ethanol productionfrom biomass is readyfor demonstrationand the demandfor fuel oxygenates,such as ethanol and ETBE, is growing in California. In addition, thereare synergistic benefits to the existing biomass-electricity industry.Finally, the technologyis ecologicallysound. The Quincy Library

  • Smoke Still Hurting Northern California Air Quality, but LNU Fire Isn't Main

    Smoke Still Hurting Northern California Air Quality, but LNU Fire Isn't Main

    Smoke still hurting Northern California air quality, but LNU Fire isn’t main culprit By Michael McGough Sacramento Bee, Monday, Aug. 31, 2020 The air remained unhealthy in the Sacramento area Monday morning as wildfires continue to burn across Northern California, and some of the morning relief that helped out last week is absent. Monitors from local air quality districts showed AQI readings in the “unhealthy” classification, from 151 to 200, in the early morning hours across the capital region, according to SpareTheAir.com. Pollutant levels are expected to stay in that range most of the day, with the sky already hazy and the smell of smoke apparent outdoors as of 6:30 a.m. A couple of days last week, an overnight Delta breeze helped clear some smoke away from Sacramento and kept AQI readings significantly lower until pollutants rolled in around midday. The weather hasn’t been quite as cooperative this week. The Spare The Air forecast page says that a “strong temperature inversion” combined with onshore winds Sunday increased wildfire pollutant buildup for Sacramento. Poor air quality will persist as northerly winds continue. Smoke has sullied the skies in Northern California for two weeks, ever since dozens of large fires and hundreds of smaller ones sparked during a powerful thunderstorm that brought down thousands of lightning strikes. For much of that stretch, Sacramento’s air pollution has come primarily from the LNU Lightning Complex, which as of Sunday evening had scorched more than 375,000 acres in parts of Napa, Sonoma, Solano, Yolo and Lake counties west of the capital.

    Economic Impacts of Recent Wildfires on Agriculture in California Daniel A. Sumner, University of California, Davis For presentation at a hearing of the California State Assembly hearing of the Committee on Agriculture, Wednesday November 18, 2020 Economic losses from fire are large, varies and complex. But, before turning to agricultural economic losses we must first be clear that the dominate consequences have been the loss of life and serious injury to individuals in both rural and urban areas. In addition, loss of homes and personal treasures represent much more than monetary loss to the people affected. California wildfires have meant personal tragedy for individuals and families throughout the state. Many farm families, including farm owners and operators and farm employees are among those who suffered tragic losses, including deaths and loss of homes. Calculating the economic impacts of those losses is beyond the scope of the data presented below. Here I consider only the reduced capital value of productive farm assets and loss of agriculture income flows caused by wildfires in recent years. This is just a part of a larger whole. It is important to state at the outset that I do not have and have not seen any up-to-date aggregate assessment of agricultural losses from recent wildfires. The most recent round of fires is too new to have complete data, and even for older fires the impacts are so disparate we may never have a full set of economic models and calculations that covers all losses. In that context, it is vital to highlight examples of specific impacts, which provides vital human context to dry calculations.

    San Bernardino County Reports 158 New COVID-19 Cases, 14 More Deaths Saturday Active Coronavirus Cases Drop While Deaths Increase Due to Data Verification

    San Bernardino County adds 158 COVID-19 cases, 14 deaths Saturday 9/13/20, 8:46 AM NEWS San Bernardino County reports 158 new COVID-19 cases, 14 more deaths Saturday Active coronavirus cases drop while deaths increase due to data verification Christopher Damien Palm Springs Desert Sun Published 8:50 p.m. PT Sep. 12, 2020 San Bernardino County officials announced more than 150 new cases of coronavirus and 14 new virus-related deaths among county residents Saturday. The increase in deaths, along with a decrease of about 1,000 active cases reported since Friday, is due to officials revising errors in previously reported data. As of Saturday, San Bernardino County's positivity rate is 9.34%, placing it in the purple, or strictest, of the state's new four-tier framework for reopening. This tier restricts the most business activity and has the most capacity restrictions because COVID-19 is "widespread." The state looks at both rates — positivity and cases — to determine whether a county is allowed to reopen. The purple tier is for counties with widespread COVID-19 cases. It represents counties with a case rate of greater than seven cases per 100,000 people or a positivity rate of 8% or higher. This tier limits indoor operations for many non-essential business sectors, including restaurants. In order for San Bernardino County to move to the next level, the red tier, it has to document fewer than seven new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents on a rolling seven- https://www.vvdailypress.com/story/news/2020/09/12/san-bernardino…nnounces-158-new-coronavirus-cases-and-14-more-deaths/5782409002/ Page 1 of 4 San Bernardino County adds 158 COVID-19 cases, 14 deaths Saturday 9/13/20, 8:46 AM day average, and its positivity testing rate must be less than 8% in the same period.
