B. Resilient Sunset Program Background and Overview
Resilient Sunset Program Background and Overview
In 2013 District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang launched an unprecedented initiative called the Sunset
Blueprint project. Overthe course of the year she convenedworkshops on issues facing the
community including land use, public transportation and economic development. A key focusarea
that drew a lot of resident input was public safety & emergency preparedness. Specifically they
called for the following;
Develop comprehensive, district-specific disaster management plan for the Sunset District.
Develop programs to create neighborhood stockpiles of food, water, medical and survival
supplies.
Develop a district-wide emergency communication plan that accommodates all
communities, including seniors, disabled and non-English speaking individuals.
Providetraining and incentives for residents to make emergency preparation
improvements.
Identify centralized areas, both physical and online, to provide resources and information in
the event of an emergency.
In partnership with the San Francisco Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (SF
NERT),develop program to establish neighborhood emergency groups to facilitate an
effectivecoordinated response in the event of an emergency.
In 2014, Supervisor Tang’s Officepartnered with the City’s Neighborhood EmpowermentNetwork
(NEN)to implement its EmpoweredCommunities Program (ECP). The ECP is a community based
planning process that convenes stakeholders and supports them as they participate in a series of
workshops that ultimately generates Resilience Action Plan that will encapsulate the objectives
outlined in the Sunset Blueprint. A program management team comprising of NERT, The City
Administrator’s Office,The Dept. of Health, The Department of Emergency Management and staff
from Supervisor Tang’s Officecreated an initial community engagement plan that help guide the
4. ECP’s deployment over the course of the next seven months. The initiative was branded Resilient
Sunset and on May 23rd 2015 the first community steering committee was convened. Overthe
course of the next few months the committee participated in a series of exercises that helped
generate a district wide engagement plan that will advance the goals of the Sunset
Blueprint.
The series of exercises were geared towards bringing the existing infrastructure of social
capital in the Sunset neighborhood to the surface and to identify and inventory the skills,
capacity and tools of Sunset residents and organizations. In October of 2015 the
Neighborhood Empowerment Network and the Resilient Sunset Steering Committee hosted
two half-day summits at the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church on Ulloa Street. The
NEN/ECP program management team ran the Run Your Resilientville Workshop that
helped residents and organizations understand the relevance of the ECP for their
neighborhood and unveiled the layers of social capital already present in the
neighborhood. The other two workshops of the series were a Vision and Mission workshop
and a Goals and Objectives Setting Workshop. The collection of outputs of these three
workshops supported the development Resilience Action Plan. The Resilience Action Plan
of 2016 is the primary foundation for the Resilient Sunset Steering Committee to plan fo r
the continuation of the ECP in their neighborhood. The next steps of the ECP in the Sunset
include: establishing Working Groups that will address neighborhood issues related to
disaster preparedness and developing annual plans to annually assess the needs for the
ECP implementation in the Resilient Sunset Neighborhood.
Resilient Sunset Resilience Action Plans: The Resilient Sunset (RS) Resilience Action Plans
are developed on the basis of a participatory community approach. The development
process is designed to provide all essential community stakeholder organizations and
residents an opportunity to contribute to the creation of a unifying Resilience Action Plans
for the neighborhoods in the Sunset. Partners in all RS nodes have contributed to craft a
customized resident planning process that reflects their location and availability.
Neighborhood partners of NEN are identified by the nature and scope of their work and
their location in certain parts of the Sunset neighborhood. The Resilient Sunset Steering
Committee has organized the community into 7 nodes that cumulatively make up the
Sunset District. Each node is defined in relation to walkability to key open spaces and
include:

Benchmarks/Calendar of Activity:
Benchmark and calendar activities for 2016 are in development
D. RiskHazardSummary
The Empowered Communities Program (ECP) of the Neighborhood Empowerment
Network (NEN) prioritizes the research and identification of the likely risks and hazards
that can affect the Sunset neighborhood. NEN has partnered with the Department of Health
from the City of San Francisco to identify natural, human-generated and technological risks
and hazards that confront the Sunset neighborhood. The Department of Health (DPH)
6. conducted a Risk and Hazard Assessment to identify the types and likelihood of certain
hazards in the Sunset Neighborhood. The most likely hazards to impact the Sunset
Neighborhood are: earthquakes, flood inundation, tsunamis, extreme heat and air pollution.
The Risk Hazard Assessment shows how these hazards are caused, which parts of the
neighborhoods will be most heavily impacted and who might be most heavily affected.

Vision and Mission development exercise outputs
The Empowered Communities Program (ECP) supports the creation of a unified vision for a community’s
resilience strategy that is culturally competent and reflects the values of the neighborhood stakeholders
who will be essential to the implementation of the Resilience Action Plan. The importance of the Vision
and Mission development is an important first priority of the ECP program because the Vision and
Mission statements offer the cohort of agencies and organizations that are advancing the ECP work an
important anchor from an ethos standpoint that offers a social “contract” that they have all agreed to. The
Vision statement articulates what the ideal resilient condition of the community will be as a result of the
implementation of their Resilience Action Plan. It also articulates who will benefit from such a condition,
describes the measurable outputs and outcomes and mentions the high level tactical abilities that the
community will possess.
Resilient Sunset community members participated in the Vision and Mission development exercise in the
summer of 2015. The NEN program management team asked the Sunset residents and organization leads
5 questions: who will benefit from the Empowered Communities Program (ECP) in the Sunset; what is
envisioned ideal condition that you hope to reach with the ECP; what are the measurable benefits of the
ECP in the Sunset; what kind of tactical abilities should ECP participants have; and what are your desired
measurable outcomes for the ECP in the Sunset? The answers to these questions are shown below in the
‘vision development’ table. The answers to these questions (the workshop/exercise outputs) were
synthesized with the help of ‘helper sentences’ and ‘summary sentences’. The combinations of the
synthesized workshop outputs construct the final vision statement.

Statement
The Sunset Neighborhood is a safe, friendly community that cares about all of its residents and organizations, especially the most
vulnerable, and has a pervasive culture that prioritizes connection, loyalty and preparedness.
In times of stress all stakeholders act in a unified fashion and share resources to ensure that the community can recover and be
stronger and more resourced.
10. The NEN/ECP program management team also asked the Sunset residents and organization leads 5
questions of which the answers would help develop the Mission statement. The questions were: who will
be identified as the initiative for the ECP implementation in the Sunset; what type of work effort is
required in order to implement the ECP; what are the values that will influence the ECP; what actions are
required to successfully implement the ECP in Sunset; and is the timeframe that the identified community
initiative entity is willing to identify itself to? Similar to the vision development process, the answers to
these questions were synthesized and finalized into the Mission statement with the help of ‘helper
sentences’ and ‘summary sentences’. All the exercise outputs that were used for the Mission statement
development are shown below the ‘mission development’ table.

11. Goals and Objectives development exercise outputs
The Empowered Communities Program (ECP) prioritizes the creation of goals and objectives for a
community’s resilience strategy that is culturally competent, and will provide opportunities for direct
mitigation and preparedness that a majority of key stakeholders will be committed to achieving. The
Empowered Communities Program includes a suite of strategies and technical resources to be used for
the development of Goals and Objectives for each particular phase of the ECP in the Sunset neighborhood.
In the fall of 2015 Resilient Sunset residents and organization leads participated in a Goals & Objectives
exercise. The NEN/ECP program management team provided goals for the Sunset neighborhood at the
community, organization and individual level. Community residents and organization leads were asked to
list all the connections, resources and capacities present in the neighborhood at the community,
organization and individual level. Resilient Sunset community residents and organization leads selected
the most important connections, resources and capacities from those lists. The selected outputs were
used to draft the first objectives for the Resilient Sunset ECP in 2016. The provided Goals and the
Objective setting exercise outputs are shown below.
Resilient Sunset Goals
Community –The Resilient Sunset has the capacity to respond collectively to times of stress in a
manner that reflects the goals and priorities of its residents and stakeholder organizations.
Organizational – The faith based organizations, businesses, non-profits and community
organizations of the Resilient Sunset have the capacity to support both the needs of their existing
constituencies, and emerging audiences, during times of stress.
Individual - Every resident has the capacity to care for themselves, and their neighbors, during
times of stress.

19. Run Your Resilientville: Worksheets and Data
The Run Your Resilientville exercise is an interactive exercise that helps community residents and
organization leads to locate places for shelter, communication and transportation resources, places with
food and water, and medical facilities in their neighborhood. When community participants of the
exercise locate all the resources in the neighborhood they are immediately asked to classify them as well.
The classification in to ‘strengths’, ‘weaknesses’, helps the particpants to apply a ‘gap analysis’ that will
show the neighborhood members what resources they are missing. The participants are invited to think
about solutions (classified as ‘opportunities’) and barriers to the solutions for the missing resources. All
the outputs are captured on the Run Your Resilientville worksheets. The worksheets are large printed
community maps with columns on the sides. Pictures of the worksheets that were used during two half-
day community summits are copied below. All the exercise outputs were synthesized by the NEN/ECP
program management team. The overview of the synthesized outputs are listed below the Run Your
Resilientville worksheets. During the Run Your Resilientville workshop Resilient Sunset community
members were also asked to identify the most vulnerable population in their neighborhood and what the
potential impacts of disaster would be on the vulnerable population. All this information is posted in the
same ‘Run Your Resilientville overview’.

25. Strength Weakness Opportunity Barrier
Shelter The community's
strength for
sheltering comes
from the various
large locations
that provide shelter.
The Police Station at
Taraval is an extra
strength to the
community.
This community's
weakness for
sheltering comes
from the lack of large
open air spaces and
public resources
easily accessible
from all parts of the
neighborhood.
This community's
opportunities for
sheltering can
potentially be the
Lawton Elementary
School, Sunset Rec
and Park and the
Incarnation Church.
Barriers for
sheltering can be: to
get everyone on the
same page for a long
term commitment.
Food/Water This community's
strength for food &
water comes from
the
many restaurants
and schools, and the
reservoir.
This community's
weaknesses for food
& water come from
the lack of large
grocery stores
evenly distributed
over the
neighborhood.
This community's
opportunities for
food & water can
potentially be
making sure that
shelters have
supplies.
Barriers for food &
water can be the
inability to
sufficiently replenish
supplies.
Power This community's
strength for power
comes
from the few
generators at large
convenience stores
and the police
station.
This community's
weakness for power
comes from the
insufficient
availability of
backup power like
generators.
This community's
opportunities for
power can
potentially be to
identify places with
generators.
Barriers for power
and communication
can be the lack of
generators.
Health This community's
strength for health
comes from local
medical centers and
the fire station.
This community's
weaknesses for
health come from the
absence of hospitals.
This community's
opportunities for
health can
potentially be a
health plan made in
partnership with
large homes and S.I.
Barriers for health
can be the lack of
clinics and supply
lines.
Transportation This community's
strength for
transportation
comes from personal
public means of
transportation
This community's
weaknesses for
transportation come
from the risk of
damaged and block
infrastructure.
This community's
opportunities for
transportation can
be people and
organizations that
own vehicles.
Barriers for
transportation can be
the lack of skilled
drivers and blocked
roads.

27. SectionIII:Reports and Maps
A. Riskhazard Assessment:
Hazard Assessment – Earthquakes (Very High Risk)
The Sunset Neighborhood lies adjacent to the Pacific Ocean only miles from the San Andreas Fault. In
the event of an earthquake, proximity to community assets and commercial resources increases in
importance if there are gaps in transportation, electricity, water, and other important services.
There are two maps on the next page. The first map is a liquefaction/landslide map. According to the
liquefaction/landslide map, much of the Sunset Neighborhood has been built on sediment and
unstable land predicted to liquefy in an earthquake. Structures built on top of liquefaction or
landslide zones are more prone to more severe shaking in an earthquake. Liquefaction and landslide
zones are a significant threat to public health. However, liquefaction is just one indicator that may
predict the damage caused by an earthquake.
The second map, courtesy of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) shaking intensity
viewer, shows the shaking intensity of a 7.9 magnitude earthquake on the San Andreas Fault. Areas
that are ‘red’ in this map would have a high shaking intensity. In this scenario, much of the outer
sunset would experience severe shaking intensity. Areas with higher shaking intensity are more
likely to suffer more damage in an earthquake event. The ABAG viewer can be found at
http://gis.abag.ca.gov/website/Hazards/.
Both maps only offer some insight into the neighborhoods most likely to be impacted by an
earthquake. Although liquefaction and shaking intensity are two established ways to predict the
extent of damage, an earthquake’s impact may be more or less than described on the following maps.
28.
29. Hazard Assessment - Flood Inundation (High Risk)
As climate change accelerates the pace of sea-level rise, and erratic precipitation patterns and
pineapple express atmospheric rivers cause extreme storms, flood inundation will become a
problem for San Francisco’s east and west coastlines.
48-inch flood inundation, a conservative prediction, demonstrates how flooding threaten parts of
Ocean Beach and the Great Highway. In addition, not all flooding during extreme storm events will
happen along the coastline. San Francisco is also prone to sewer overflows, downed trees and
power-lines, and other inland effects of storms. According to a rough analysis of 311 calls regarding
flooding during the most recent extreme storm event, the Sunset experienced inland flooding events.
30. Hazard Assessment – Tsunami (High Risk)
The coast of the Sunset Neighborhood lies in a Tsunami Hazard Zone. A tsunami would occur after a
large earthquake off the Pacific Coast. The impact of a tsunami could be devastating to San Francisco
coastal communities.
The following map was created by the California Emergency Management Agency, the
California Geologic Survey, and the Tsunami Research Center at USC. The map shows communities
especially at risk for tsunami inundation. This map combines various inundation scenarios and does
not represent inundation from a single scenario event. A tsunami off the Pacific coast may produce
more or less flooding than represented on this map.
31. Hazard Assessment - Extreme Heat (Medium Risk)
The Sunset is kept cool by the marine layer. As the marine layer off the Pacific Coast moves
over San Francisco in the late afternoon or early evening, the city tends to cool. According to
historical weather and mortality data gathered by the San Francisco Department of Public Health,
there is an increase in health risk when temperatures ‘spike’ over 85-degrees for two straight days
without an adequate drop in nighttime temperature. Those most vulnerable to extreme heat are
children, the elderly, people with diabetes and other preexisting conditions, and people with
mobility issues. Although compared to denser urban-heat-island neighborhoods nearDowntown,
the Outer Sunset is not at risk for extreme heat, the neighborhood’s higher-than-average elderly
population and large population of residents who do not speak English ‘very well’ mean that there is
some vulnerability in the neighborhood.
32. Hazard Assessment - Air Quality (Low Risk)
Winds coming off the Pacific Ocean keep the Outer Sunset Air Quality very good. Although
there is some traffic-associated particulate pollution along the 19th Avenue Corridor and Lincoln
Way arterials, most of the City’s pollution is concentrated in the northeast quadrant of the city or
along the freeways.
Residents of the Sunset most vulnerable to the respiratory effects of poor air quality include
children, the elderly, and those with preexisting conditions such as asthma or allergies.
