and other attacks. These attacks will be explained and demonstrated, with risk assessment and
discussion countermeasures.

- Directions:
The Public Utilities Commission is on the corner of Van Ness and McAllister diagonally
across from City Hall. There is a parking lot on Franklin between McAllister and Golden Gate.
There are underground lots at the Opera Plaza on Golden Gate between Franklin and Van Ness
and at Civic Center Plaza on McAllister between Polk and Larkin. Parking under the CPUC is not open
to the public. Any Muni bus running on Van Ness will stop on the corner. Coming from the East by BART
or Muni Metro, it is best to transfer to a westbound No. 5 Bus at the Powell St. Station. Alternatively, it
is a 5 to 10 minute walk from Civic Center Station and about the same from Van Ness Station. Coming
from the West by Metro or bus, transfer to a bus going North on Van Ness. Go up the steps at the corner
of Van Ness and McAllister. Someone will be waiting at the top behind the gate to let you in.
