governor newsom and other state leaders asking them to intervene in what she calls a, quote, insurance non-renewal crisis in her city. according to a filing with the state, state farm, the state's largest insurer, will not be renewing more than half the homeowner policies in the 94563 zip code here in orinda. we're talking about just over 1700 policies here. that's the most of any zip code in the state. as you can see on this map we put together for you, in the 94549 zip code in neighboring lafayette almost 1,000 state farm customers will lose coverage. the zip code in santa clara and santa cruz customers will see 1,000 customers off the rolls. and over 1400 customers in two zip codes in santa rosa and the immediate vicinity. we spoke to i astate farm customer who lives in san mateo but was visiting her daughter this morning here in orinda. >> so far so good, but we live in a wooded area. >> and have you gotten any indication that they might cut

you? >> no, i haven't. >> reporter: okay. >> but my daughter's over here. so i'm concerned she won't -- that they might contact her. >> reporter: is she state farm here? >> yes. >> reporter: and does she live in a wooded area? >> uh-huh. yes. so that is a concern. >> people in the neighborhood had their insurance canceled. >> reporter: what are they doing? >> i guess the state has a -- >> reporter: fair plan? >> fair plan or maybe another insurer. but it's a real problem. >> reporter: but yes, the state of california does have the california fair plan for people who've had their policies canceled who live in high-risk areas of wildfire. unfortunately, it is expensive and it only offers fire coverage but it is subsidized by the state. last month state farm issued a written statement explaining its decision to no longer write new policies for new california homes and end coverage for tens of thousands of customers, many of whom, again, live in areas prone to wildfires. "this decision was not made

lightly and only after careful analysis of state farm general's financial health, which continues to be impacted by inflation, catastrophe exposure, reinsurance costs and limitations of working within decades-old insurance regulations. earlier this month the mayor of orinda sent this letter on your screen there to governor newsom, the state's insurance commissioner and local representatives expressing concern over state farm's cut in coverage. this letter was sent before these latest numbers came out today and yesterday. she fears state farm isn't taking into consideration recent efforts by the local fire department and community to mitigate the risks of wildfire. we did hear back from the mayor this morning. she is out of town and referred us to the city manager. the city manager in lafayette is also recommending that the mayor of lafayette send a similar letter to the state. reporting live here in orinda, bob redell, nbc bay area news. >> all right, bob, thank you. well, just into the

newsroom, cal fire is asking for help finding the person who set a fire on san jose state's campus. now, this happened on march 31st. here's a photo of the person they're looking for. these were captured from security cameras. if you recognize this person you are asked to call police. happening today, a key vote is set to happen on the controversial proposal aimed at cracking down on homeless encampments near san jose schools. as nbc bay area's ginger conajero-saab explains several schools will be impacted if this passes. >> reporter: several schools will be impacted right away if this passes. independence high school and behind those rvs parked. along with kipp collegiate not far from here. challenger at berryessa and shirakawa. those are the schools that will be part of a pilot program that creates a buffer zone around those schools for encampments. san jose mayor matt mahan fully supports this ordinance and he

says he expects the council's backing as well. >> i think the council will support it, especially because we are hearing directly from students affected by encampments next to and interfering with their schools. >> reporter: students and city staff proposed this ordinance last year which would prohibit any tents, rv ands other dwellings within 150 feet of licensed preschools, daycare facilities or k through 12 schools. when the schools brought the issue for an initial vote in january, unhoused advocates warned a blanket ban discriminates against homeless people. now, the ordinance is up for a vote today. if passed the city would have the authority to tow those vehicles and remove those encampments. city leaders estimate san jose is home to 850 lived-in vehicles and that nearly 1500 residents could be impacted by the policy. >> homelessness in our city, like much of california, has become a moral and a practical

crisis. it's existential for our city. we can't continue to have 5,000 people living outside in tents and vehicles. now, to the point of cost, we also can't afford to build a brand new apartment for every person who needs it. my approach is to build basic dignified shelter for every person who needs it and when it's available require that people take advantage of it. >> reporter: student activists sa v. said they do not want to criminalize the unhoused. an important part in this for the students is providing services for the unhoused, which is also part of the ordinance. and this comes as san jose is tracking encampments using ai in vehicles and gathering data. they're also doing this with graffiti and even potholes that can be found throughout the city. the city council vote happens today at 1:30 in the afternoon. in san jose ginger conejero-saab, nbc bay area news. new video from nbc bay area sky ranger showing a house floating in the bay.

saturday. so make sure to come check them out. and the weather's going to be a little mix of sun and clouds. kari, speaking of the weather, how's it going out there? in there, i should say. >> it looks great, vianey. we might have to put some of them in time out a little bit. a little too rough. >> reporter: didn't give them any caffeine, i swear. >> i don't know. there's a lot of chocolate out there. a lot of energy sugar. something's going on. >> reporter: all right, guys. let's head back to our seats. all right, guys, thank you so much. >> vianey out there. let's get started with a look at where we are right now. the weather's just beautiful and they're really enjoying some perfect conditions out there all around the bay area we're seeing temperatures in the upper 60s. much warmer than we've had recently. so we are going to continue to see our numbers going up. and as we take a look at the

wide view, what's happening across the region, all clear, all sunshine. looking great. but then just to the east, well, the storm system that we had over the weekend is really blowing up over texas and parts of the south. we're seeing? tornado watches in effect and a lot of heavy rainfall. so we'll continue to monitor that for the next i'd say about ten hours. and then looking across the bay area with our highs today headed for the mid 70s up to 78 degrees in san jose and 75 in novato, and looking at san francisco, upper 60s today but low 70s for tomorrow. we'll even see some low 80s, which is well above normal for this time of year. we're going to get a little taste of spring as well on thursday, but then friday temperatures start to come back down. the high pressure that's warming us up is breaking down and moving off toward the south and east. and then we'll see this storm system rolling down the coast and bringing us some rain. you guessed it. just in time for saturday as you're trying to get out there

once again. we're going to have some unsettled weather, and then that continues into early next week. looking at how much rain we could see, a lot of our models are showing these areas in red near the coastline, which is about 1 to 2 inches of rainfall. and then the farther inland you go it's going to be a lot less, about a quarter inch of rain or more. the sierra's going to get about one to six inches of snow. so just enough to make those roads slick but not cause any major issues. take a look at morgan hill. how we're going to see these temperatures changing over the next few days, going from low 80s to only mid 60s on friday to 54 degrees on saturday. so a big drop in temperatures with that rain that's coming in for the weekend. and then clearing out for early next week. laura and marcus? >> thanks, kari. well, most of us probably remember your first concert or the first live performance you ever saw, and you remember all the joy, some of the laughter or dancing that came along with it. a lot of memories. >> very much so. and i want you to go back to

that moment and then take out the sound. that's going to be the reality for thousands of people. and there is a new documentary right now bringing you notice about a problem they face. >> a new documentary "sign the show" is shining light on the importance of interpreters in entertainment and providing accessibility for all. filmmaker and bay area native cat brewer is working to help give a voice to the deaf community. >> and i was completely ignorant. i didn't realize that deaf people enjoyed music, let alone enjoyed live music. and so i started talking with the interpreter and then communicating with the deaf people through the interpreter and come to find out that deaf people are just like hearing people, they love music, but they have a lot of challenges and barriers to getting access to live entertainment. >> reporter: for executive producer matt maxey the issue is personal. >> the more i actually go to

venues and events and festivals where they have the accessibility that we need, i find myself feeling more free. i feel myself feeling more involved. i feel myself feeling more normalized to where hey, i don't have to go above and beyond just to feel equal. >> reporter: several big artists appear in the doc including kelly clarkson, chance the rapper and andre 3000. oh, and wacka flacka flame also taking part. he tells us he gained new insight about the deaf community after mistaking an asl interpreter for a concertgoer back in 2018. >> i think people that got the blessing of hearing, i think we undermine people that can't hear because to me they're just as smart, just as creative. >> reporter: he says as an artist he loves seeing everyone get involved and enjoy the show. >> in a more touching manner that someone can feel how i felt saying the words without even hearing the words.

>> reporter: now the group is hoping to gain national attention from viewers about the issue as we mark national deaf history month. and you can watch "sign the show" now on apple tv, tubi and google play. the director, cat brewer, which you saw earlier in the story, will actually be appearing on the "kelly clarkson show" today. you can watch that at 3:00 this afternoon right here on nbc bay area. >> something to check out. well, happening now, a pfizer rsv vaccine could now protect high-risk adults. researchers say there are promising results from late stages of a clinical trial and the new shot has potential to protect certain adults from getting severely sick with rsv. it's already approved in the u.s. but not for people with certain illnesses like diabetes. pfizer now plans to submit its results from the trial to get expanded approval for the shot. and we are more than 100 days away from the 2024 olympic games in paris. ahead for you this midday the recent production of those
