Patrick Otellini is the Chief Resilience Officer (CRO) for the City and County of San Francisco. Mr. Otellini was originally appointed by Mayor Ed Lee in October of 2012 as the Director of San Francisco's Earthquake Safety Implementation Program. This public policy driven group has recently passed unanimously approved pieces of legislation that range from mandatory retrofits of soft story buildings to post-earthquake repair standards. All of these require innovative seismic solutions before and after earthquakes with the goal of making San Francisco more resilient in the face of disaster. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Otellini was a Senior Associate with A.R. Sanchez-Corea & Associates, San Francisco's premier permit and code consulting firm. His work there included the management of the permit and inspection process for over $2 billion worth of construction in San Francisco. He is a Certified Building Inspector through the International Code Council (ICC) and a Certified Fire Protection Specialist through the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Mr. Otellini serves on the Board of Directors at the San Francisco Zoo and serves as a member of the steering committee for San Francisco's new Veteran's Memorial Monument. Mr. Otellini lives in San Francisco with his wife and two children. He received his Bachelor's Degree from Westmont College in Political Science.

 

The Earthquake Safety Implementation Program (ESIP) is a 30-year plan to implement the recommendations of the Community Action Plan for Seismic Safety (CAPSS) study, completed in 2010. ESIP began in late 2011 under the City Administrator's office and continues on today to make San Francisco a more prepared, safer and resilient city. The 30-year plan consists of 50 tasks based on the extensive CAPSS analysis and recommenda- tions. Because of the likelihood of an earthquake in the near future, the plan begins with a major effort to address our most severe problem, the likely failure of many of San Francisco's larger soft-story apartment buildings. Many other plan elements are currently underway or already completed, including a study into the earthquake safety of the City's private schools, passing administrative bulletins to set standards for repair and retrofit after an earthquake, aiding in the passing of the Community Safety Element, and many other tasks. Many of these tasks will take many decades to complete, some just a few months, but all with community support, ranging from the technical community who provides the ESIP team with solutions to some of the City's most difficult problems to community members providing the City guidance on the day-to-day work of neighborhood-level resilience efforts like the neighborhood support center.
