Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Telegraph Hill is On The Move
By now most of us have heard about the section of Telegraph Hill that crumbled and slid down on some buildings that front on Broadway. The full story in today's San Franciso Chronicle is here.
This should be a clear warning to all of us in San Francisco. We live in a City on the Move. Who knows ... the next big news story may be the Great Earthquake of 2007.
So what's a person to do?
Take the free NERT training offered by the San Francisco Fire Department. That's what a person should do. Since 1990 the NERT program has trained more than 15,000 San Francisco residents to be self sufficient in a major disaster. Through this program, individuals will also learn hands-on disaster skills that will help them as members of the City's official Neighborhood Emergency Response Team.
The NERT Training Program is a 20 hour comprehensive program consisting 6 class sessions lasting approximately 3 hours each. The training instructors are professional firefighter members of the San Francisco Fire Department. There is no cost for the classes. The San Francisco Fire Department NERT program is a registered, FEMA compliant Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. It is the second oldest program of its type in the nation.
