Very important issue. Shame on the City to not have addressed this issue. I will be meeting with Tom next week and would be happy to introduce you. Tom is a AWSS/EFWS expert, who has championed this issue for many years. My goal is to form a citizens expert group to raise awareness of this issue, to help the coalition to form an aligned position, and ultimately our demand to the City.
Thanks for lifting this up, John. I remember a former fire chief telling me about this situation back in 2017. And it seems like nothing has been done. Why there is *any* talk of upzoning areas whose fire hydrant systems would be demolished in an earthquake is beyond me. We have neighborhoods that would be literal death traps in the event of an earthquake/massive fire outbreak. As San Franciscans, we deserve better from our leaders.

Thank you, John. Very scary.
