That would require SFUSD to dip into funds that are supposed to be targeted toward low-income and foster youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not clear exactly how many positions will be funded at each school, but in January, Su said about 535 staffers would need to be cut since personnel makes up the “bulk” of the district’s ongoing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going to put in front of you in a few short months a list of people that are our colleagues, our friends, our neighbors, our kid’s favorite teacher,” Su told the board in January. “It is going to be awful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supplemental roles, like counselors, social workers and assistant principals, won’t be a given. Whether schools can pay for those positions will depend on how statewide, restricted and grant funding shake out in the spring — much to the ire of parents, staff and board commissioners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we say as a district is sufficient for our students in our schools may just be different than what the state defines as a base allocation,” Board President Phil Kim shot back after Duchon, who has veto power over district spending, said staffing expectations might need to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hard part about this is you are used to a lot of resources at your schools,” Duchon told the board. “Social workers are wonderful, but they are not generally part of the school allocation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12025663\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12025663\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Educators and union leaders ride on a trolley car from Malcolm X Academy Elementary School to Buena Vista Horace Mann K–8 Community School in San Francisco’s Mission District on Feb. 4, 2025.

Each department head has been instructed to make recommendations to cut anywhere from 20% to 100% of their budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the central office has committed to cutting $20 million in unrestricted funds, while other positions and services will likely be cut when restricted dollars are distributed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are certain programs or initiatives within central office and within divisions that we’re asking folks to completely eliminate because we do not have the luxury of dollars to do it,” Su told the board on Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other positions will be cut from school sites. Layoff notices have to go out by mid-March and will primarily affect staff who are not in the state’s definition of “base” funding. Parents and educators say many of these roles deemed “supplemental” are essential for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFUSD isn’t planning to eliminate all social work positions or the other supplemental roles that parents say are needs, not wants. However, Su said any of the funding for such educators is going to have to come out of the district’s restricted money, which has stricter use parameters and is more variable since the state and federal governments allocate some. Duchon noted that the district won’t know exactly how much is available until Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget revision in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More precise numbers for layoffs also depend on how many veteran educators take a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12017631/embattled-sf-school-district-offer-hundreds-buyouts-potential-layoffs\">buyout SFUSD offered in December\u003c/a>.

While some schools found out they might lose staff and be forced to combine more classes, Curiel said administrators have not been able to get answers to clarifying questions nor sustain much communication with the central office at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we didn’t always agree with [former Superintendent Matt] Wayne, at least he communicated with us,” she told KQED last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12010449\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12010449\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241021-SFUSD-BREED-STATE-PRESSER-MD-08-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241021-SFUSD-BREED-STATE-PRESSER-MD-08-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241021-SFUSD-BREED-STATE-PRESSER-MD-08-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241021-SFUSD-BREED-STATE-PRESSER-MD-08-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241021-SFUSD-BREED-STATE-PRESSER-MD-08-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241021-SFUSD-BREED-STATE-PRESSER-MD-08-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241021-SFUSD-BREED-STATE-PRESSER-MD-08-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maria Su laughs during a press event in front of the SFUSD offices in San Francisco on Oct. 21, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Su did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday, but she acknowledged last month that she did not meet the district’s expectation to have “deep conversations” with labor partners related to significant decisions like the staffing model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UESF has also joined a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12025440/schools-face-cuts-california-teachers-unions-band-together-demands\">statewide union bargaining effort\u003c/a> calling for fully staffed schools.

That would require SFUSD to dip into funds that are supposed to be targeted toward low-income and foster youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not clear exactly how many positions will be funded at each school, but in January, Su said about 535 staffers would need to be cut since personnel makes up the “bulk” of the district’s ongoing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going to put in front of you in a few short months a list of people that are our colleagues, our friends, our neighbors, our kid’s favorite teacher,” Su told the board in January. “It is going to be awful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supplemental roles, like counselors, social workers and assistant principals, won’t be a given. Whether schools can pay for those positions will depend on how statewide, restricted and grant funding shake out in the spring — much to the ire of parents, staff and board commissioners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we say as a district is sufficient for our students in our schools may just be different than what the state defines as a base allocation,” Board President Phil Kim shot back after Duchon, who has veto power over district spending, said staffing expectations might need to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hard part about this is you are used to a lot of resources at your schools,” Duchon told the board. “Social workers are wonderful, but they are not generally part of the school allocation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12025663\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12025663\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250204-WeCantWait-04-BL-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Educators and union leaders ride on a trolley car from Malcolm X Academy Elementary School to Buena Vista Horace Mann K–8 Community School in San Francisco’s Mission District on Feb. 4, 2025.

Each department head has been instructed to make recommendations to cut anywhere from 20% to 100% of their budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the central office has committed to cutting $20 million in unrestricted funds, while other positions and services will likely be cut when restricted dollars are distributed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are certain programs or initiatives within central office and within divisions that we’re asking folks to completely eliminate because we do not have the luxury of dollars to do it,” Su told the board on Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other positions will be cut from school sites. Layoff notices have to go out by mid-March and will primarily affect staff who are not in the state’s definition of “base” funding.

However, Su said any of the funding for such educators is going to have to come out of the district’s restricted money, which has stricter use parameters and is more variable since the state and federal governments allocate some. Duchon noted that the district won’t know exactly how much is available until Gov.

However, admissions are off to a slow pace as Laguna Honda remains under the microscope of state and federal regulators despite a growing need for skilled nursing care in San Francisco and across the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a well-known fact that there is a dearth of nursing home beds in San Francisco,” said Tony Chicotel, an attorney with California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform. “It’s jarring that the facility is allowed to admit residents now and still has so many open beds when we hear from people all the time in the Bay Area that there is no nursing home space for people to go to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nursing home experts say San Francisco has a large population of low-income seniors who need round-the-clock care in their community, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/sites/default/files/2024-06/Skilled%20Nursing%20Transfer%20Ordinance%20-%202023%20-%20HC%20Presentation.pdf\">many people have to move out of the county\u003c/a> away from loved ones due to the region’s scant affordable nursing home options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need is about to get compounded as dozens of elderly residents at St. Anne’s Home on Lake Street near the Presidio \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2025/01/09/st-annes-home-little-sisters-poor-to-close-sf/\">will need to find new housing before the facility closes on April 8\u003c/a> due to staffing shortages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laguna Honda is working with St. Anne’s to bring over residents who are about to lose their homes and has offered beds to past residents who were discharged during Laguna Honda’s recertification process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know this is a challenging time, and you have my commitment that the city will support you in this transition,” Mayor Daniel Lurie said at a recent Board of Supervisors meeting, addressing the closure of St. Anne’s. “We must have a broader strategy for seniors to live safely and actively engaged in their community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are currently 435 residents at Laguna Honda, compared with the hospital’s licensed bed capacity of 649. The hospital previously had a capacity for nearly 800 residents. However, federal regulation changes after the pandemic required rooms to have no more than three residents, stripping the hospital of 120 beds. Officials at Laguna Honda said they are trying to recertify the 120 beds to bring capacity back up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laguna Honda has welcomed a total of 78 new residents out of 179 referrals since resuming admissions on July 31, 2024, according to San Francisco’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of denials were due to patients deemed to have “behavioral health needs too complex” for a nursing home, including substance use or mental disorders. Others were due to being “too medically complex” and for needing lower levels of care than residential skilled nursing, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://media.api.sf.gov/documents/02032025_LHH_JCC_Exec_Report_Presentation.pdf\">report\u003c/a> shared at the Health Commission meeting on February 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Laguna Honda officials say they are actively welcoming new residents and that there is no waitlist for those who meet its criteria, with a goal to fill the remaining beds by December 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are admitting anybody who meets the criteria to be in a skilled nursing facility, and we are ramping up admissions,” Laguna Honda CEO Diltar Sidhu told KQED. “Laguna Honda is back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11991292]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New patients at Laguna Honda must meet industry-standard nursing home criteria, including being a resident of San Francisco whose primary diagnosis is a medical condition — not psychiatric — who requires nursing facility care, physical or cognitive impairment requiring higher attention than a lower-level board and care facility, or daily rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, after several years of intense oversight, Laguna Honda is taking caution as it moves forward. Officials must walk a fine line to remain in good standing with regulators while responding to the community’s needs in a timely manner. Bringing on new patients is also necessary to receive federal dollars for patients, especially as the city faces a nearly $800 million budget shortfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With every bed that sits empty, that’s also reimbursement we aren’t getting, so it’s also a financial issue during a tough budget season,” said Supervisor Myrna Melgar, whose district encompasses Laguna Honda. “I’m hoping the pace of admissions is at least maintained.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laguna Honda was already under intense scrutiny following a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782161/newly-uncovered-cases-of-patient-abuse-at-laguna-honda-bring-incident-count-to-130\">massive abuse case\u003c/a> affecting nearly 130 patients from 2016 to 2019.

However, admissions are off to a slow pace as Laguna Honda remains under the microscope of state and federal regulators despite a growing need for skilled nursing care in San Francisco and across the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a well-known fact that there is a dearth of nursing home beds in San Francisco,” said Tony Chicotel, an attorney with California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform. “It’s jarring that the facility is allowed to admit residents now and still has so many open beds when we hear from people all the time in the Bay Area that there is no nursing home space for people to go to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nursing home experts say San Francisco has a large population of low-income seniors who need round-the-clock care in their community, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/sites/default/files/2024-06/Skilled%20Nursing%20Transfer%20Ordinance%20-%202023%20-%20HC%20Presentation.pdf\">many people have to move out of the county\u003c/a> away from loved ones due to the region’s scant affordable nursing home options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The hospital previously had a capacity for nearly 800 residents. However, federal regulation changes after the pandemic required rooms to have no more than three residents, stripping the hospital of 120 beds. Officials at Laguna Honda said they are trying to recertify the 120 beds to bring capacity back up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laguna Honda has welcomed a total of 78 new residents out of 179 referrals since resuming admissions on July 31, 2024, according to San Francisco’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of denials were due to patients deemed to have “behavioral health needs too complex” for a nursing home, including substance use or mental disorders. Others were due to being “too medically complex” and for needing lower levels of care than residential skilled nursing, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://media.api.sf.gov/documents/02032025_LHH_JCC_Exec_Report_Presentation.pdf\">report\u003c/a> shared at the Health Commission meeting on February 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Laguna Honda officials say they are actively welcoming new residents and that there is no waitlist for those who meet its criteria, with a goal to fill the remaining beds by December 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are admitting anybody who meets the criteria to be in a skilled nursing facility, and we are ramping up admissions,” Laguna Honda CEO Diltar Sidhu told KQED. “Laguna Honda is back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The center is one of 21 partner organizations that form the \u003ca href=\"https://sfildc.org/our-work/rapid-response/\">San Francisco Rapid Response Network\u003c/a>, which verifies and responds to reports of immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina said the number of calls coming into the network’s 24-hour hotline has soared since President Trump took office, calling for mass deportations and crackdowns on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026179/san-francisco-leads-lawsuit-against-trumps-threats-to-punish-sanctuary-cities\">sanctuary cities such as San Francisco\u003c/a>.

Though quickly squashed, the rumor prompted a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DFL1mQ5y4vg/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D\">district email to some school communities\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2025/01/23/ice-agent-muni-bus-visitacion-valley/\">media frenzy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have had more questionable intentions. Last week, a man wearing a windbreaker with “ICE Immigration” across the back and chest and a red baseball hat embroidered with “Trump Won” was spotted eating at a taqueria in the Mission District, which has significant Latinx and immigrant communities. The \u003cem>San Francisco Standard \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2025/02/07/daniel-goodwyn-ice-impersonator-mission-taqueria/\">identified the man\u003c/a> as Daniel Goodwyn — among those Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023252/2-californians-on-fbis-most-wanted-list-among-capitol-rioters-pardoned-by-trump\">pardoned in connection with the Jan. 6 riot\u003c/a>, and a leader of a San Francisco conservative group — who also \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DFtynSmJw_a/\">posted a photo on his Instagram account wearing the outfit\u003c/a> in front of City Hall at a Lunar New Year event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a terrorist seeking to intimidate our immigrant community,” Supervisor Jackie Fielder, who represents the Mission, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DFyul7wywsK/?img_index=2\">wrote on Instagram\u003c/a> after the man’s visit to the taqueria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12025647 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1243312873-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks are trying to stoke fear with flyers, with jackets, with phone calls to different agencies, to different emails, letters,” Medina said. “That is their ultimate tool that has the most capacity, but it’s also the one that can be most easily defeated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there has been some authenticated ICE activity around the Bay Area since Trump took office — including attempts to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024442/ice-agents-tried-to-enter-downtown-sf-office-buildings-janitors-union-says\">enter downtown San Francisco office buildings\u003c/a> that Democrats and union officials said were in search of janitorial workers, as well as operations in San José — most of the reports haven’t been true. Medina said that during La Raza’s week on call for San Francisco’s rapid response hotline at the end of January, there were seven warrants issued and five arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are all individual warrants for individual folks, specific locations, specific person. To date, no raid has taken place,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina said people who think they see ICE activity should first inform the network so its trained workers can sift through and verify apparent sightings. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024332/ice-raids-in-california-how-to-sort-fact-from-rumor-online#what-does-ice-look-like\">Advocates say\u003c/a> this is a better option than posting on social media or communicating through personal channels right away since that can cause unnecessary panic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all have to take a little bit of a deep breath when we hear any of these calls and assess them,” Medina said. “We’re all impacted by it, but we also have to keep in mind who we represent, who we’re fighting for, and make sure to verify and give out good information and be extra careful and understand the impact of any information we share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Planned tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods were \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12025404/canada-tariffs-paused-california-wineries-fear-trade-dispute-would-be-crushing\">paused\u003c/a>, but that didn’t put Leopold, who owns six Ace Hardware stores in the Bay Area, at ease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the products he sells are imported from other countries, including China, Canada and Mexico. Leopold calculated how much more he would have to pay for a shipment of outdoor summer furniture that he had ordered on its way from China. He said he’ll have to pass the extra costs on to customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a margin we have to work off to make a living,” said Leopold, 58. “And you get a retail item at a certain price point, it just doesn’t sell. But we don’t have an option when the tariffs are just thrown at us like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail, Trump claimed that tariffs — a fee on goods imported to the United States — would be paid by other countries. However, Americans are likely to be stuck paying higher prices on imports such as consumer electronics, cars, toys and more. A recent \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/trump-tariffs-trade-war/\">analysis of Trump’s tariffs\u003c/a> published by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation found that the levies would cause employers to cut jobs and U.S. households to pay more in taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has argued tariffs on China, and potentially on Mexico and Canada, are needed to force those countries to do more to stem the flow of illegal immigration, fentanyl and other drugs into the U.S. That doesn’t ring true for Leopold, whose family has experienced the devastation caused by a fentanyl overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12026036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12026036 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250206-TrumpTariffs-20-BL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250206-TrumpTariffs-20-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250206-TrumpTariffs-20-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250206-TrumpTariffs-20-BL-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250206-TrumpTariffs-20-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250206-TrumpTariffs-20-BL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250206-TrumpTariffs-20-BL-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Store owner Michelle Leopold works with Noah Gowe, a store employee at the Standard 5 & 10 Ace, a family-owned hardware store in San Francisco’s Laurel Heights neighborhood, on Feb. 6, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Further complicating matters for business owners is an already existing tariff imposed by the first Trump administration on certain Chinese imports, which Leopold said raises the total duties on his furniture shipment to 35%.

At the Northern California Ace Retailers Summit last Tuesday, several of the 130 attendees said they expect business to decrease if the cost of lumber, electrical parts, manufactured goods and other imports rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the lumber prices go up, people don’t do the little projects we saw before,” Matt Richert said in a conference room at the Wine & Roses Hotel in Lodi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ritchert, who owns a lumber yard and hardware store in Pleasanton, sells a lot of Canadian wood, mostly to contractors and homeowners doing remodeling projects. He said he believes lumber prices will rise due to the threat of tariffs on imports from Canada, plus a higher demand for wood to rebuild homes lost during the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/wildfire\">Los Angeles fires\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To prepare, he said he started cutting work hours among his 31 employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are trying to make the cuts as minimal as possible,” said Richert, whose family started the business in 1976. “They’re all meant to add up to make sure that we are well prepared for a reduction in business, which we know is coming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/national-weather-service\">National Weather Service\u003c/a>, another wave of showers on Thursday could worsen the flooding and mudslide risk as days of wet weather wear on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today is a lull or a break in the rainfall,” said Crystal Oudit, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Bay Area office. “The concern is that Thursday going into Friday, we’re going to get another push for rain, and because the soil’s already saturated, that can increase the risk of floods again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Wednesday morning, the Russian River at Guerneville had reached moderate flood levels, cresting at just over 36 feet around 8 a.m. It is expected to recede out of flood stage by the evening, but Oudit said a flood warning will remain in effect until Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flood risk spurred evacuations of many trailer park communities along the banks of the lower Russian River near Guerneville and Healdsburg on Tuesday night. Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins said the trailer parks and some apartments on both sides of the river around the unincorporated community can flood when the river hits 32 to 34 feet and was caught somewhat off guard by the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723283\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11723283\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-631415386-e1549313950719.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cars drive on a flooded road in Guerneville in January 2017. The Russian River town is just downstream from Venado, a site in the northern Sonoma County hills that is one of the rainiest locations in California. On Tuesday, at least one school in Guerneville closed because of the storm, and Sonoma County alerted residents in multiple RV parks along the Russian River and creeks that flow into the waterway that flooding may occur. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She said historically, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration overestimates flood risk and then reduces down, but has done the opposite before Sonoma’s last few major storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was, unfortunately, what happened yesterday was what [was expected to be] barely a flood actually wound up being a moderate flood stage for us in the lower Russian River,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Osborne, who lives off of residential Drake Road in Guerneville, said that even though houses in his area aren’t taking on water, they have been trapped by floodwaters since late Tuesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that when there’s a storm, it’s not uncommon for everyone who lives along the dead-end residential street, which has about a dozen offshoots, to get stuck because of an especially low spot as the road hits the on-ramp to the bridge that crosses the Russian River. It was sitting in about four feet of water midday Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12025572 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/Russian-River-flooding-15_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the only road out from all of the homes out here,” Osborne told KQED. He said that there isn’t much he thinks can be done to alleviate the issue, since it would require a lot of real estate and expensive renovation to lift the low-lying part of the road enough to avoid flood risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even when Guerneville itself isn’t impacted, this road will close because [it’s] at such a low point,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osborne expects the flooding to go down enough to cross the road by Wednesday night, but if there are any showers in the afternoon, it could mean at least another day of being flooded in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creeks throughout central Sonoma County also reached moderate flood levels early Wednesday. Green Valley Creek at Martinelli Road and Colgan Creek near Sebastopol are both expected to follow a similar receding trend as the Russian River, but the risk remains high at Mark West Creek near Mirabel Heights, which is projected to crest above major flood levels. It had reached 65 feet as of 7:45 a.m., according to NWS observations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa, flood risk downtown at the Napa River was downgraded Wednesday morning after an earlier forecast projected major flooding risk. It hovered around 23.5 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flood gates on McKinstry Street near downtown’s Oxbow Market were closed by the Napa County Flood District and the city on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County spokesperson Linda Weinreich said that street teams were assessing mudslides that began overnight near Moore Creek Park in St. Helena and on Redwood Road near Oak Knoll and were trying to clear downed trees while there’s a break in the rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the forecast “shows that the rains are returning tomorrow — things, of course, could change — but it’s a good time to get sandbags,” she said. “And we want people also to sign up for emergency notifications.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The return of rain on Thursday could bring downtown 1.5 inches more rainfall to Sonoma and Napa counties, according to Oudit.

According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/national-weather-service\">National Weather Service\u003c/a>, another wave of showers on Thursday could worsen the flooding and mudslide risk as days of wet weather wear on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today is a lull or a break in the rainfall,” said Crystal Oudit, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Bay Area office. “The concern is that Thursday going into Friday, we’re going to get another push for rain, and because the soil’s already saturated, that can increase the risk of floods again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins said the trailer parks and some apartments on both sides of the river around the unincorporated community can flood when the river hits 32 to 34 feet and was caught somewhat off guard by the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723283\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11723283\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-631415386-e1549313950719.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cars drive on a flooded road in Guerneville in January 2017. The Russian River town is just downstream from Venado, a site in the northern Sonoma County hills that is one of the rainiest locations in California. On Tuesday, at least one school in Guerneville closed because of the storm, and Sonoma County alerted residents in multiple RV parks along the Russian River and creeks that flow into the waterway that flooding may occur. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She said historically, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration overestimates flood risk and then reduces down, but has done the opposite before Sonoma’s last few major storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was, unfortunately, what happened yesterday was what [was expected to be] barely a flood actually wound up being a moderate flood stage for us in the lower Russian River,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Osborne, who lives off of residential Drake Road in Guerneville, said that even though houses in his area aren’t taking on water, they have been trapped by floodwaters since late Tuesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that when there’s a storm, it’s not uncommon for everyone who lives along the dead-end residential street, which has about a dozen offshoots, to get stuck because of an especially low spot as the road hits the on-ramp to the bridge that crosses the Russian River.

He said that there isn’t much he thinks can be done to alleviate the issue, since it would require a lot of real estate and expensive renovation to lift the low-lying part of the road enough to avoid flood risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even when Guerneville itself isn’t impacted, this road will close because [it’s] at such a low point,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osborne expects the flooding to go down enough to cross the road by Wednesday night, but if there are any showers in the afternoon, it could mean at least another day of being flooded in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creeks throughout central Sonoma County also reached moderate flood levels early Wednesday. Green Valley Creek at Martinelli Road and Colgan Creek near Sebastopol are both expected to follow a similar receding trend as the Russian River, but the risk remains high at Mark West Creek near Mirabel Heights, which is projected to crest above major flood levels. It had reached 65 feet as of 7:45 a.m., according to NWS observations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa, flood risk downtown at the Napa River was downgraded Wednesday morning after an earlier forecast projected major flooding risk. It hovered around 23.5 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flood gates on McKinstry Street near downtown’s Oxbow Market were closed by the Napa County Flood District and the city on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County spokesperson Linda Weinreich said that street teams were assessing mudslides that began overnight near Moore Creek Park in St. Helena and on Redwood Road near Oak Knoll and were trying to clear downed trees while there’s a break in the rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the forecast “shows that the rains are returning tomorrow — things, of course, could change — but it’s a good time to get sandbags,” she said. “And we want people also to sign up for emergency notifications.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The return of rain on Thursday could bring downtown 1.5 inches more rainfall to Sonoma and Napa counties, according to Oudit. Gusty winds could knock down more trees and power lines, and more showers could exacerbate current road flooding and ponding near buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The challenge is that there’s not enough time to actually do anything,” Hopkins said. “I think that we’re all going to be waiting on pins and needles to see if that damage spreads.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources for Sonoma County evacuees and people who experienced flooding will be available at the West County Services Center, known to locals as the Bank of America building in downtown Guerneville, in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the storm clears later this week, Hopkins said the county will look at how to better prepare for future storms.
