that they do send out notifications if there is a major event but they do not send out
notifications when the event is not a significant incident. He added that he did not want
notifications to become white noise to residents but acknowledged the need to communicate
information as deemed appropriate.

No update on Senior Safety Forum from Commissioner Sahai.
Commissioner Chao spoke about an annual child care seat inspection event that will take
place on September 29, 2018 at the Target store on Stevens Creek Blvd in Cupertino. The
event will be held from 8am- noon or until car seats run out. The event is being sponsored by
Senator Beall’s office who will be working with CHP. The office is asking for car seat
donations to help the event. They are currently working on flyers to promote the event and
more information will be forthcoming.
Commissioner Huang inquired if County Fire could participate in the event along with CHP.
Commissioner Chao responded that she doesn’t see a problem with County Fire but will have
to check. Commissioner Huang also asked Ms. Francavilla if she would be able to contact
Apple in the event that they would like to make a donation. Commissioner Chao added that
in the past, donations have been received from Lucille Packard and CHP. However, the office
always welcomes donations from anyone, since the event is popular and the supply is
limited. Fire Chief Justice adds that this event is very important due to 80% of car seats
installed incorrectly and children get injured. The fire stations do provide car seat inspections
for citizens.

4. Subject: Demo of One Concern Software
Recommended Action: Discuss One Concern Software
Ms. Francavilla gave the group a presentation on One Concern Software. She went on to
explain that the three different organizations that are critical in disaster preparedness are the
City of Cupertino, CERT, and OES. She explained a limitation where a member of the group
must be signed up to engage in the software and collaborate with others. Ms. Francavilla
will continue to work on the software to see how we can get all three organizations under
one program working efficiently, especially when a disaster incident occurs. It will be great
to be able to use this across the board since it allows one to see schools, pumps, structures,
city buildings, freeways, bridges and all other structures including the Sheriff’s Office.

strength of the earthquake. It also indicates if aid will be needed. This program also gives a
percentage of the population that gets effected by any type of event that should arise. It also
gives stats on buildings that have or have not been retrofitted. Commissioner Huang asked
both Fire Chief Justice and Captain Urena if there was an earthquake larger than an 8.0 what
would be the plan for action. Fire Chief Justice informs the group that they would open up
the bay doors, take out the engines and all equipment, take an inspection of their own
structure and upon completion they would head out and start checking their first due areas.
Captain Urena also informs the group that they would also be busy with calls requiring them
to start prioritizing calls and responding to the critical calls first while collaborating with the
fire department.
Ms. Francavilla completed the presentation and answered questions.
5. Subject: Distracted Driving Proposal(s)
Recommended: Discuss Distracting Driving Proposal(s)
Teen Juhi Mohile gave the commission a presentation on Distracted Driving at Commissioner
Nellore’s direction. She explained that the largest distraction is texting while driving. The
majority of fatal accidents were due to distracted drivers. Ms. Mohile would like to spread
awareness with a presentation at different events upon obtaining approval from the Public
Safety Commission. She also would like to give presentations at schools to inform youth
drivers.
Fire Chief Justice inquired about the appropriate age group for this presentation. Ms. Mohile
responded that it would be for all age groups but would like to focus on high school and
college age groups.
Commissioner McCoy agreed that this is a very important topic to spread awareness upon.
Commissioner Huang also agreed that high school aged students would be a great place to
start since they are new drivers and they should be aware of the dangers of driving
distractions. Commissioner McCoy asked Captain Urena if there was a way to find out how
many citations were given for distracted drivers. Captain Urena explained that it may be
possible to find some information as collision forms filled out by deputies due have an area
that captures distracted driving. Commissioners requested Ms. Mohile try and find the stats
for the City of Cupertino and/or Santa Clara County.
