January 21, 2021Disaster Council Minutes <br />San Leandro Police reported that prior to the wind event, information was pushed to <br />residents. Staff was out at the damaged Manor sign. We received about 12 calls for <br />down lines. <br />There are several rainstorms coming through in the next couple weeks and we will push <br />information out to the public. We have also pushed information out to all our residents <br />about the ACPHD website and COVID vaccines using social media hubs. <br />Healthcare Services <br />• Hospitals <br />• Davis Street Family Resource Center <br />• Red Cross <br />• SL Elder Care Alliance <br />2.D. <br />Kaiser Hospital reported that supply is the key to the vaccine process. They are <br />working wrapping up tier 1a for Kaiser and non-Kaiser healthcare staff, long-term <br />patients and will be expanding to the members soon. Since December, Kaiser has <br />provided a combined 40,000 doses per week. The planning for the next tier is being <br />done. We want to make sure that all members and the community are safe. The <br />lowering the age to 65 has put a stress on the system, because at the state level, <br />there is 1.4 million members in that range. Kaiser appreciates that people want to be <br />vaccinated and ask for their patience. Kaiser will be reaching out to members 75 and <br />older to set up appointments soon. We understand that people have concerns and <br />information can be found at kp.org/covidvaccine. <br />There was a question about whether people should go to other areas and the answer is <br />that is a personal choice. For Kaiser members, it is a supply issue and they are <br />working hard to get the vaccine out and will get to members and the community. It is <br />frustrating, but people should hold tight. By going to other systems, which are also <br />becoming impacted, that could crash those systems too. We are finding that many <br />people want the vaccine, and everyone needs to be patient. <br />San Leandro Hospital offered the reminder that while COVID is at the forefront of <br />emergencies right now, emergency managers are trained for all hazards. When we <br />hear about something like a wind event, emergency managers are always focused on <br />the safety measures. It is good to know that our existing plans are in place and people <br />are protected. <br />San Leandro Hospital has rolled out the vaccines for staff using Pfizer and are not <br />wasting doses. When there is extra, staff is notified, so that they do not go to waste. <br />They are working the notification program required by AB 685, which requires <br />employers to notify employees when there has been a positive case within the work <br />setting. They continue to reinforce the safety measures and to push out the message <br />of the need to wear a mask, to wash hands, clean surfaces, and to maintain social <br />distances, even after receiving the vaccination. They are working to combat the spread <br />of the virus on a global focus and to have people understand that until all of us are <br />safe, none of us are safe. <br />Davis Street Family Resource Center was not available. <br />Red Cross reported that they have concerns about their staff getting vaccinated and <br />are still doing disaster responses to fires and staying safe in the COVID environment. <br />SL Elder Care Alliance was not available, though Councilmember Ballew shared that <br />Page 4City of San Leandro <br />31
