Prop A: Vote YES on the Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response Bond

June 2026: The San Francisco League of Conservation Voters (SFLCV) supports Proposition A, which funds critical investments in earthquake safety and emergency response infrastructure. 

San Francisco is in one of the most seismically active areas in the world. The earthquake in 1906 and the fires that followed it destroyed much of the city. Although improvements have been made, key infrastructure vulnerabilities still exist and pose threat to San Franciscans.The Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response Bond is a chance to fill that gap. SFLCV urges a YES vote. From an environmental perspective, the bond supports climate resilience through investments in infrastructure.

Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, including conditions that exacerbate urban fires. Climate resilience requires more than emissions reductions. It requires that cities be structurally prepared for the emergencies that a warming world will deliver. Investments in fire suppression infrastructure, efficient emergency facilities, resilient transportation facilities, and reliable water access are climate investments that protect the homes, neighborhoods, and ecosystems San Franciscans depend on.

The bond accomplishes this without raising property tax rates, and it creates more than 2,000 construction-related jobs in the process. These are the kinds of public investments that demonstrate fiscal discipline and environmental seriousness.

San Francisco cannot build a sustainable future on a fragile foundation. Vote YES on Prop A.
