SUNSET PARKSIDE
elcome to Fall! Our office greeted the new season by hosting two community
festivals in September, and I hope everyone had a great time at these events!
In addition to bringing fun, family-friendly events to our community, our offices
vision of a more connected district continues with the creation of the Sunset Districts
very own Resilient Sunset plan. Resilient Sunset is a community-based initiative that will
increase the neighborhoods ability to reduce the impact of threats, such as earthquakes
and tsunamis; increase its ability to respond and bounce back to times of stress; and
provide a strong focus on protecting our most vulnerable neighbors.
With the ever rising threat of earthquakes and other disasters, this new concept aims to
make the district prepared for anything. Modeled after the successful Resilient plan in the Bayview District,
this project aims to create a plan of action in the event of a disaster, directing where residents should go for
resources that would otherwise be unavailable. The recurring underlying theme of major catastrophes is the
inaccessibility of basic needs such as food, water, medical supplies, and shelter. Furthermore, past events such as the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina back in 2005 - has proved that waiting for outside aid will result in the
unnecessary loss of lives post-disaster. The Resilient program prepares for such a situation through meticulous
planning, education and mobilization of resources, which will ultimately reduce the number of casualties
sustained during and after a disaster.
Please join me and City departments, including Department of Emergency Management, SF NERT, Department
of Public Health, Department of Human Services, and the Red Cross, at one of the Resilient Sunset Summits
below.

The valuable knowledge gained from the research opportunity, coupled with my own experiences as a
Chinese immigrant, have encouraged me to join the Economic Justice and Immigration Committee on the
Youth Commission. In my new role, I hope to gain ground in helping not only immigrant youth succeed, but also
providing youth with the economic means to reach success. I am looking forward to working together with my
fellow Commissioners, with City officials and most importantly, with all of you, to bring San Franciscos youth issues
to the forefront and tackle them accordingly. In doing so, we can shape San Francisco into an even better city
for youth to thrive in together.
