SOME SAN DIEGO AND MIGHT HAVE TO SPEND THANKSGIVING WITHOUT ELECTRICITY.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FOR EARLY THANKSGIVING DAY.

THEY ARE PREPARED TO SHUT OFF POWER TO PREVENT WILDFIRES FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.

>> WE TEND TO HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN PREDICTING THE WIN.

>> Reporter: THE METEOR OUTDOOR.

THE NEXT SANTA ANA WIND WILL BLOW IN THE MOUNTAINS TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND STRENGTHEN THANKSGIVING AFTERNOON.

THAT MEANS THAT SDG&E WILL HAVE TO CUT OFF POWER IN THE FOOTHILLS AND BACK COUNTRY.

>> SHUTTING OFF POWER IS THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO AND WHO WANTS TO DO IT DURING THANKSGIVING?

>>> THE AIRPORT EXPECTS PEOPLE TO TRAVEL AND THE NUMBERS WILL DOUBLE SINCE LAST YEAR.

>> BE PREPARED, EXTRA MASKS, NOT JUST FOOD.

HAVE EVERYTHING WITH YOU, OTHERWISE IT WILL FEEL CHAOTIC BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY BUSY.

>> Reporter: THESE PEOPLE FLEW INTO SAN DIEGO TODAY FOR THANKSGIVING.

PEOPLE FLYING WITH PETS PREPARE AHEAD OF TIME BECAUSE EACH AIRLINE HAS DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS.

PACK SNACKS BECAUSE SOME AIRLINES ARE NOT SERVING FOOD AIRED THIS FAMILY WAS IN TOWN FOR THE WEEKEND AND HEADING BACK TO DENVER TODAY.

>> IS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE DELAYS AND LONG LINES BUT IT'S BEEN VERY SMOOTH, GREAT.

>> Reporter: TUESDAY MORNING HAD A STEADY FLOW OF TRAVELERS BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPOKESPERSON OF THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, WEDNESDAY WILL BE A CHALLENGE.

>> WE ARE EXPECTING 20% MORE PASSENGERS THROUGH THE TERMINAL THEN WE'VE SEEN ON AN AVERAGE DAY IN NOVEMBER.

MOST PEOPLE WILL FLY THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE AND THE SUNDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CLEANING THE HIGH TOUCH AREAS AND STICKERS ON THE GROUND TO ENCOURAGE SOCIAL DISTANCING WHEN POSSIBLE.

ANYONE TAKING THE AMTRAK OR BUS OR TROLLEY, CONNECT FROM THE OLD TOWN TRANSIT CENTER AND JUMP ON THE SAN DIEGO FLYER INCOME TO THE AIRPORT.

>>> FROM FLYING HIGH TO HIGH GAS PRICES ON THE GROUND, STRAIGHT AHEAD, WHAT THE PRESIDENT DID TODAY TO CURB THE HIGH COST AT THE PUMP.

>>> IN HER EFFORT TO LEAVE THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19, THE MAYOR RECEIVED THE MODERNA BOOSTER SHOT.

THEY ARE GIVEN AT THE VACCINE AND FLU CLINIC WITH FIREFIGHTERS AT STATION 34.

THIS WAS PART OF THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINE TRIAL LAST YEAR.

SHE RECEIVED HER J&J JANUARY THIS YEAR AFTER IT WAS CONFIRMED HER FIRST SHOT IN THE TRIAL WAS A PLACEBO.

NATIONAL CITY RESIDENTS CAN GET THEIR BOOSTER SHOTS.

>> IN CONSULTATION WITH MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AS WELL AS THOSE IN THE VACCINE TRIAL, I WILL BE RECEIVING A CONVENIENCE OF HAVING IT HERE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH PEOPLE THAT I TRUST, MY FIREFIGHTERS, IN A LOCATION THAT IS FROM A MORE IN MY COMMUNITY.

>>> THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINE IS HAVING A 90% EFFICACY RATE.

THOSE RECEIVING THE BOOSTERS FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER.

>>> A $6 MILLION BOOST FOR HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES IN SAN DIEGO AIRED OUR REPORTER SPOKE WITH ONE OF THOSE BUSINESS OWNERS.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN 1000 BUSINESSES HAVE FITTED FROM THE NEWLY ANNOUNCED GRANT PROGRAM.

THIS IS ONE OF THE LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS THAT RECEIVED FUNDING.

SHE OWNED A ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY THAT WAS HARD-HIT BY COVID-19.

>> THIS WAS A BLESSING.

MY COMPANY WAS EXTREMELY AFFECTED.

I HAD TO SHUT DOWN MY OPERATIONS.

I DID MY FIRST LIVE EVENT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, THAT WAS THE FIRST IN 20 MONTHS.

>> Reporter: SHE TALKED WITH OTHER LOCAL LEADERS TO ANNOUNCE THE IMPACT OF THE PROGRAM.

EACH SMALL BUSINESS WAS AWARDED A GRANT OF $5000.

THE SAN DIEGO FOUNDATION IS HELPING TO ADMINISTER THE FUNDS TO HELP THOSE THAT NEED IT THE MOST.

WE HAVE PRIORITIZED UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED RELIEF FUNDING.

>> Reporter: THIS IS A FITNESS PROFESSIONAL.

THEY PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED RELIEF GRANTS FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THEY ARE GRATEFUL THAT BUSINESS IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO NORMAL.

>> IT WAS SCARY FOR ME.

MY BEST FRIEND DOES HAIR FOR LIVING.

SHE COULDN'T DO HAIR.

EVERYTHING THAT WE FELT LIKE WE WERE BORN TO DO WE COULDN'T DO.

I HAD TO SHIFT AND DO VIRTUAL EVENTS TO I GUESS YOU COULD SAY, BY TIME.

>> LATER THIS YEAR, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF FUNDING WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.

>>> WATER HAS BEEN RESTORED TO AN EAST VILLAGE AFTER A MAIN BREAK BUT NOW THEY HAVE TO BOIL WATER AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF THIS.

KPBS REPORTER TELLS US WHAT'S NEXT .

>> Reporter: THIS CAST IRON WATER MAIN FAILED ON SUNDAY NIGHT, FLOODING THE VILLAGE AND LEAVING THOUSANDS WITHOUT WATER.

WATER WAS RESTORED BY MONDAY NIGHT BUT THEY ARE STILL DEALING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES.

THESE PEOPLE ARE UNDER A BOIL WATER ORDER.

>> I TAKE CARE OF MY UNCLE WHO IS ELDERLY.

IS DIFFICULT TO DO EXTRA THINGS ON TOP OF WHAT YOU NEED TO DO ON A DAILY BASIS.

MAYA TRABULSI >> Reporter: THEY HAVE TO BOIL WATER TO EAT AND SANITIZE DISHES IF YOU DO IT BY HAND YOU HAVE TO DIP THEM IN A BLEACH SOLUTION AND LET THEM AIR DRY.

SOMETHING THAT THIS PERSON DID NOT KNOW.

>> WITH THAT BEING SAID, I HAVE TO GO BACK AND REDO MY DISHES.

>> Reporter: THIS PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO SAY THEY UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR PATIENTS BECAUSE LIFTING THE ORDER IS A PROCESS.

>> YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO NEGATIVE TESTS IN A ROW AIRED IT TAKES 24 HOURS FOR A SECOND TEST.

IF THEY COME BACK NEGATIVE, WE TAKE IT BACK TO THE STATE AND THEY GIVE ALL CLEAR AND WE CAN LIFT THE WATER RESTRICTION.

>> Reporter: COLIN SAYS THE PIPES THAT ARE CAUSING MOST OF THE PROBLEMS ARE MORE LIKE 11th AND EIGHT STREET, AGING CAST IRON.

THEY ARE SLOWLY BEING PHASED OUT AIRED >> IN 2018 WE REPLACED CAST- IRON AND THERE'S STILL SOME TO GO AND WE WILL HAVE THOSE REPLACED BY 2025.

>> Reporter: THIS PERSON WAS OUT BUYING THE LAST MINUTE ITEMS FOR HIS THANKSGIVING FEAST HOPES THOUGH WATER WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL SO THE FEAST WON'T BE RESCHEDULED GOOD >> I'LL HAVE TO DO IT SATURDAY WHEN THE BOIL WATER ORDER IS OVER.

>>> THIS MONTH THE BORDER OPEN FOR TRAVELERS VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19.

ASYLUM-SEEKERS REMAIN STUCK IN LIMBO ACROSS THE BORDER.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS CONSIDERING A CONTROVERSIAL PANDEMIC PALM POLICY.

WE SEE HOW THE IMPACT OF PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN TIJUANA.

>> Reporter: VACCINATED TOURISTS CAN CROSS THE BORDER BUT ASYLUM-SEEKERS CAN'T.

THAT'S BECAUSE OF TITLE 42.

IT'S A PANDEMIC ERA POLICY THAT BARS THEM FROM ENTERING THE U.S. A MAKESHIFT MIGRANT CAMP SOUTH OF THE BORDER, 700 MEN, WOMEN AND LOTS OF CHILDREN.

THE CAMP IS A LABYRINTH OF INTERCONNECTED TENTS.

THEY SLEEP ON CONCRETE FLOORS AND ENCLOSED IN OFFENSE SURROUNDED BY POLICE.

>> [ SPEAKING FORIEGN LANGUAGE ].

>> Reporter: THIS WOMAN IS CALLED CARMEN TO PROTECT HER IDENTITY.

SHE SAID THE SITUATION IS UGLY.

SHE AND HER TWO CHILDREN FLED AFTER CARTEL MEMBERS KILLED HER BROTHER AND KIDNAPPED HER OLDEST SON.

>> [ SPEAKING FORIEGN LANGUAGE ].

>> Reporter: CARMEN'S STORY IS NOT UNIQUE AT THE CAMP.

MOST OF HER NEIGHBORS FLED SIMILAR VIOLENCE IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND OTHER PARTS OF MEXICO.

THIS IS A SOCIAL WORKER THAT VISITS THE CAMP THREE TIMES A WEEK TO CHECK UP ON PEOPLE LIKE CARMEN.

PEOPLE IN THE CAMP ARE DESPERATE , SHE SAYS.

THEY HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

ONE OF THE HARDEST PARTS OF THE JOB IS NOT HAVING AN ANSWER TO QUESTIONS SHE KEEPS HEARING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

ANY NEWS?

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO US?

WHAT OPTIONS DO WE HAVE?

WHY DO WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF DESPERATE PEOPLE STRANDED IN CAMPS SOUTH OF OUR BORDER?

IS BECAUSE OF TITLE 42 A PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IMPLEMENTED IN MARCH 2020 AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS KEPT IN PLACE.

IT ALLOWS BORDEN OFFICIALS TO TURN BACK ASYLUM-SEEKERS WITHOUT DUE PROCESS.

>> THIS IS THE MOST WE'VE SEEN DONE ON ASYLUM AT THE BORDER OF THE U.S. HISTORY.

A RADICAL POLICY.

>> Reporter: NORMALLY IT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

SOMEONE FLEES THEIR HOME BECAUSE OF PERSECUTION.

THEY ARRIVE AT THE BORDER TELLING THEIR OFFICIAL THAT THEY ARE AFRAID TO GO BACK HOME.

IF THEY PASS THE INTERVIEW, THEY ARE ALLOWED INTO THE U.S. AND START THE ASYLUM CASING COURT.

TITLE 42 LET'S BORDER OFFICIALS TURN THEM AWAY WITHOUT GIVING THEM AN INTERVIEW OR SEE A JUDGE.

THE PANDEMIC JUSTIFIES TITLE 42 AND IS DISINGENUOUS ESPECIALLY AS THEY OPEN THE BORDER TO VACCINATED TRAVELERS.

>> VACCINATED TOURISTS AND SHOPPERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER BUT VACCINATED PEOPLE WHO ARE FLEEING VIOLENCE AND DANGER ARE NOT.

THAT'S FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THIS POLICY HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH.

>> Reporter: CARMEN HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE CAMP SINCE APRIL.

SHE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN LET ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE CROSS AND NOT THE OTHER.

IT'S NOT FAIR, SHE SAYS.

THEY DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE CAMP BUT THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MEXICO.

THE CDC ISSUED THE ORDER.

WHEN WE ASKED WHY THEY ARE STILL BARRED.

THEY SAID ASK THE WHITE HOUSE.

THE WHITE HOUSE DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR QUESTION.

>>> A KEY MEMBER OF THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET WAS IN TIJUANA THIS WEEK.

ERIC ANDERSON HAS DETAILS.

>> Reporter: MICHAEL REGAN SAID THE SOLUTION TO THE CROSS- BORDER POLLUTION ISSUE WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT FROM THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

>> A SENSE OF URGENCY BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC LOSS AND LACK OF ACTION, WE WANT TO LOOK AT ALL THE TOOLS IN OUR TOOLBOX.

>> Reporter: THE U.S. HAS SET ASIDE $300 MILLION TO START THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT NORTH OF THE BORDER AND TO BUILD A NEW TREATMENT FACILITY NEXT DOOR.

IT CALLS FOR A SEWAGE PLANT SOUTH OF TIJUANA AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.

TOP MEXICAN OFFICIALS INCLUDING THE SECRETARY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

>> BOTH COUNTRIES ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PUBLIC HEALTH RISK OF THIS POLLUTION.

WE ALSO SEE A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY THAT IF WE LEVERAGE OUR RESOURCES AND MAKE STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS THAT WILL BE MORE RESILIENT, THIS WILL BE CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR JOBS AND HELP PUBLIC HEALTH.

>> Reporter: THEY RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF SOLVING THE ISSUE FOR PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER.

>> PRESIDENT BIDEN'S CABINET MEMBER IS HERE LEADING AND PUTTING A FOCUS ON THESE ISSUES.

THEY ARE PUTTING TOGETHER ORGANIZATIONS FOR THIS ISSUE.

FOR THE SHORT TERM AND LONGER TERM.

>> Reporter: U.S. OFFICIALS ONLY HAVE ABOUT HALF THE MONEY THEY NEED TO IMPLEMENT ALL PARTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION.

IF EVERYTHING GETS BUILT, MORE THAN 95% OF THE FLOW WILL BE CAPTURED AND TREATED.

>>> AS WE MENTIONED, THE RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED OVER THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.

WARMER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED OVER THE COUNTY.

JESSICA HAS YOUR COMPLETE FORECAST.

>>> HOUR WINDS WILL TURN OFF SHORE AGAIN AS ANOTHER SANTA AND A WIND TAKES PLACE.

WARMER AND BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD WITH SUNSHINE.

ALSO GUSTY WINDS WILL MOVE ON, TOO.

NIGHT TEMPERATURES FALL OFF TO THE MID-40s.

OCEANSIDE 30s.

AND THEN THE SANTA ANA WIND RETURNS HERE.

ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AND IT LASTS ALL THE WAY THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

THAT WILL BRING ELEVATED FIRE RISKS.

MEDICAL ELEVATED FIRE RISK.

BLOWING DUST AND EVEN LOCALIZE POWER OUTAGES.

GUSTS ANYWHERE FROM 30 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR.

WE CAN SEE SOME 80 MILES PER HOUR.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A RED FLAG WARNING POSTED HEAR FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

IT WILL GET EXTENDED THROUGH THURSDAY MOVING FORWARD AIRED FUTURECAST CONTINUES TO SHOW THAT WE WILL WATCH AS THE CLOUDS CLEAR THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

NOTE CLOUD COVER, BRIGHT SUNSHINE.

OFFSHORE WINDS MOVE THE CLOUD COVER OUT OF THE PICTURE.

THEY GET UP INTO THE 70s IN TEMPERATURES.

EL CAJON UP TO 76 DEGREES.

TURKEY DAY ON THURSDAY IS LOOKING LIKE A BRIGHT DAY.

HIGH-PRESSURE IN CONTROL.

RINGING IN THE STRONGER OFFSHORE WINDS FOR THURSDAY.

AT THE COAST, UPPER 60s ON WEDNESDAY TO UPPER 70s FOR THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY.

THEN DROP OFF ON SUNDAY TO THE LOW 70s.

LOW 80s FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IN THIS AREA.

IN THE MOUNTAINS WE COVER IN THE LOW 50s BUT COULD SEE A BUMP IN THE WEEKEND.

MID TO UPPER 50s.

IN THE DESERT, TEMPERATURES MID TO UPPER 70s.

WE COULD GET UP TO THE LOW 80s.

>>> PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS ORDERED THE RELEASE OF 50 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL FROM THE STRATEGIC RESERVE TO BRING GAS PRICES DOWN.

EXPERTS SAY WE WON'T SEE A DIP IMMEDIATELY BUT IN THE WEEKS AHEAD AIRED SAN DIEGO COUNTY THE AVERAGE PRICE IS $4.66 A GALLON.

THE FOURTH STRAIGHT DAY WE'VE SEEN AND INCREASE.

THE HIGHEST ON RECORD IS $4.72.

THAT WAS IN OCTOBER, 2012.

WE LOOK AHEAD WHEN IT COMES TO PRICES.

>> Reporter: MOUNTING PRESSURE TO LOWER MOUNTING GAS PRICES COULD >> THEY KEEP GOING UP WITH NO END TO IT.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN GETTING THE OKAY TO LIFT THE LID ON EMERGENCY STOP PILE OF OIL.

>> THIS WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF HIGH GAS PRICES OVERNIGHT BUT IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY WILL RELEASE 50 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL FROM THE RESERVE.

>> THAT'S THE AMOUNT WE THINK WILL BE USEFUL TO HELP MIDDLE- CLASS CONSUMERS GET THROUGH THIS TIME OF ELEVATED PRICES.

>> CHINA, JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA AND THE UK WILL CONDUCT COORDINATED RELEASES ALONG WITH THE U.S.

THEY PAY AVERAGE FOUR DOLLARS 30 ACCORDING TO AAA.

>> THREE QUARTERS OF 1 MILLION PEOPLE IN KENTUCKY DEPEND ON NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE TO HEAT THEIR HOMES.

CHOICE, IN SOME CASES, PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE AND STAYING WARM.

>> Reporter: IT WILL TAKE WEEKS BEFORE THE BARRELS HIT THE MARKET.

THE PRESIDENT SAID IT WON'T DO MUCH TO ALLEVIATE PROBLEMS BUT SOME LAWMAKERS ARGUE IT'S A START.

THE MOVE IS SYMBOLIC SHOWING THAT THE NATIONS RELUCTANCE TO RAMP UP PRODUCTION, THE U.S. IS TAKING ACTION.

>>> SAN DIEGO IS A FEW WEEKS AWAY FROM PICKING A NEW MAP OF CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS.

ACTIVISTS ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR CHANGES.

>> Reporter: AMONG THE ACTIVISTS IS A GROUP OF UCSC STUDENTS.

THEY HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THE MOST WHITE AND WEALTHY HOMEOWNERS AND WANT TO BE IN THE NEW DISTRICT WITH ASIAN AMERICAN VOTERS.

THE COMMISSION HAS REJECTED THAT SO FAR AIRED THIS SOPHOMORE SAYS IT'S FRUSTRATING.

>> 10 STUDENTS OR 50 STUDENTS WILL GET ONE POINT ACROSS.

THAT'S TAXING ON US, FULL TIME STUDENTS DEALING WITH MIDTERMS AND CAMPUS AND HOUSING, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE ARE HERE.

>> Reporter: EARLIER THIS MONTH THE COMMISSION REJECTED THE MAP THAT WOULD SPLIT THE CAMPUS FROM LA JOLLA.

IT WOULD PUT LA JOLLA IN THE BIG COASTAL DISTRICT.

THE STUDENTS WERE INVOLVED IN THE MEETING BUT -- >> Reporter: >> THE COMMISSIONERS DO A BETTER JOB OF IMAGINING WHAT THE OTHER CITIES CONCERNS ARE OVER THE STUDENTS.

>> Reporter: THE REDISTRICTING COMMISSION MEETS AGAIN TODAY.

IT HAS UNTIL MID-DECEMBER TO LOCK IN F FINAL MAP OF DISTRICTS.
