Is that again, 52 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: I think our city has already been planning. You know, 53 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: our past two mayors laid down a great road map 54 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: in terms of climate change. You know, we are leaders 55 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: in the country and our city and in our state, 56 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 3: and so we have to continue the planning because one 57 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: thing that I'm also so proud of is that in 58 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: our city and in our state, we don't play around 59 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 3: with climate change. We know that it is here, we 60 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: know that it is impacting us. It is not a debate, 61 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: and so we are preparing long term for changes like this. 62 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: We don't know next year we might have hurricane season. 63 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: Remember how we used to have fire season, And now 64 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: we can have fires at any point in time. 65 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: Just in time for you to be the mayor, just 66 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: in time for me to be the mayor. 67 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: And now we're just waiting to see if the locusts 68 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: are going to come. 69 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: Oh no, don't add to the list here. 70 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: I'm curious to ask you something a little more specific. 71 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: But because you know, communication and awareness and information is 72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: such a major part of all of these things, whatever 73 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: the natural disaster may be. What the city's doing for 74 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: the unhoused during the storm, and how you communicate, how 75 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: do you reach out to them, how do they get information? 76 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: Well, you know, the city and the county work together 77 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: hand in hand, and it is about street outreach, street 78 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: outreach going to where we know the unhoused are. And 79 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 3: then of course the most dangerous thing over the weekend 80 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: were the unhoused who are near the river beds, because 81 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: you know, we didn't know if they were aware that 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: there was going to be an extreme weather emergency, and 83 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 3: so it happened by air. Helicopters went over and notified 84 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 3: people in the river beds to evacuate, as well as 85 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: outreach workers went out and talked to people, offered them shelter. 86 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 3: Now I'll find out today about the utilization of shelters, 87 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 3: but we started on Thursday letting people know that they 88 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 3: should go shelters. 89 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: And Mayor Basward us before we let you go. 90 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: I know you have a very busy day reports of 91 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: you having a role in ending the strike here in 92 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 2: Hollywood with the writers and the actors. 93 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: What do you think that looks like for you? And when? 94 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: Well, actually, I mean I have been in talks with 95 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: everyone really from the beginning, the unions as well as 96 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: the studios, and you know, I am encouraged. After weeks 97 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 3: and weeks and weeks of no communication, the fact that 98 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 3: there is communication and negotiations going on between the WGA 99 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: and the studios is a little daylight. And so considering 100 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: this is such a fundamental part of our economy locally, 101 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 3: and then after a devastating event that is going to 102 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: cost millions and millions of dollars last night, we can't 103 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: take continued hits on our economy. And the individuals who 104 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: are striking have to be able to will forward to 105 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: live in our city. And that's a problem that we're 106 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: seeing across the board, which is why we see so 107 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: many labor disputes happening right now. 108 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 2: You mentioned the storm and how it impacts the residents 109 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: here who work in this major industry in something California. 110 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: Does that move things faster? 111 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: In your opinion? Can it help? I dost the process? 112 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: I certainly. I don't know.
