This is a tragic reminder of the difficult space that front line workers must balance between staff safety and the regulatory, ethical, and moral obligations we have in serving our clients.

❤️‍🩹 To my fellow SFDPH civil servants… take care of yourselves. ❤️‍🩹

I worked as a facilities manager in an AIDS hospice during COVID. Despite the complaints and whining, we implemented and enforced SFDPH guidelines. Went the entire pandemic without a single death or breakout. Not a miracle - just good people doing good work. God Bless each and everyone there. Proud.

🌙 Permission to Pause

The holidays don’t have to be a marathon. Slow down, breathe, and enjoy the calm moments between the busy ones.

Rest is productive, too. 💛

Wow! That seems harsh and suicidal. Not sure where that hate comes from. And I've got reasons to not like him: he got me laid off from SFDPH (with thousands others) in his last term as mayor... NOBODY has investigated why this happened or what happed shortly before the layoffs... so he's not a saint

Request for Information Regarding Plutonium-239 Air
Monitoring Exceedance at Parcel C (November 2024)

Dear Mr. Megliola,

I am writing on behalf of the City and County of San Francisco and the San […]

[Original post on ai6yr.org]
October 30, 2025 To: Anthony Megliola (Navy, Director of Base Realignment and Closure, Program Management Office West); Michael Pound (Navy, Environmental Coordinator) Subject: Hunters Point Shipyard (HPS) – Request for Information Regarding Plutonium-239 Air Monitoring Exceedance at Parcel C (November 2024) Dear Mr. Megliola, I am writing on behalf of the City and County of San Francisco and the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) regarding an exceedance of the plutonium-239 (Pu-239) air monitoring Action Level at Hunters Point Shipyard (HPS), Parcel C, which occurred in November 2024 and was reported to SFDPH in October 2025. According to information recently shared with SFDPH, the November 2024 air monitoring result for Pu-239 approximately exceeded twice the Action Level concentration. The Pu-239 measurement was identified from an air filter sample collected during field work operations, including asphalt grinding, at Parcel C. The City and County of San Francisco is deeply concerned by both the magnitude of this exceedance and the failure to provide timely notification. Such a delay undermines our ability to safeguard public health and maintain transparency. Immediate notification is a regulatory requirement and is critical for ensuring community trust and safety. We respectfully and firmly request that, moving forward, any exceedance or significant radiological finding be reported to SFDPH without delay.
