UPDATE Feb 17: you can still start this training course and make up the missed class later — just come to the next class on Thursday Feb 23.

San Francisco’s NERT (Neighborhood Emergency Response Team) program is a great program which teaches neighbors like you to help yourself and others in the event of a major earthquake or catastrophe. You will learn light search and rescue, how to shut off utilities, do triage, and very basic first aid. It’s a fun class, and a great way to meet your neighbors and help your fellow San Franciscans in a disaster.

Sunnyside’s upcoming NERT training course is now scheduled for six sessions: February 16, 23, & March 2, 16, 23, 30. SNA president and firefighter Stephen Martinpinto will be leading the course. There is still time to sign up — here is where to do it:

SFMTA: San Francisco Moves Forward With Groundbreaking Transportation Demand Management Legislation

Most progressive program in the country requires developers to provide on-site amenities that support sustainable modes of transportation

SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved an ordinance yesterday amending the Planning Code to establish a Transportation Demand Management Program. The Transportation Demand Management Program, or TDM, is a citywide program developed by the San Francisco Planning Department, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, and San Francisco County Transportation Authority, requiring developments to provide on-site amenities that support sustainable modes of transportation and reduce single-occupancy driving trips associated with new development

The ordinance, sponsored by Supervisors Malia Cohen, Jeff Sheehy, London Breed, Mark Farrell, and Ahsha Safai, applies to projects with 10 units or more of new residential development, 10,000 square feet or more of commercial development, and large (25,000 square feet) changes of use. Residential projects that are 100 percent affordable are exempt.          Continue reading “SF Planning: ‘Groundbreaking Transportation Demand Management Legislation’” →
