Pacific Palisades Recovery
Recovery will be defined not just by what government agencies plan, but by how well our community understands, engages with, and advocates within those plans. Under the overall umbrella of the Pacific Palisades Community Council, the Community Recovery Coordination Council’s Advisory Task Forces exist to help build that capacity — bringing together informed, committed residents who can speak credibly on behalf of the Palisades across every dimension of long-term recovery.
Each Advisory Task Force focuses on a specific area of recovery and works to gather the knowledge, evidence, and community perspective most relevant to the Palisades. Their role is not to replace official processes, but to ensure that when the City, County, State, and Federal government come looking for input — and they will — our community is ready, organized, and speaking with a clear voice. The Long-Term Recovery Plan, infrastructure investment programs, land use decisions, and resilience standards being written right now will shape this community for generations. These Advisory Task Forces are how residents help shape those decisions rather than react to them.
Community Recovery Coordination Council (CRCC) and the Pacific Palisades Recovery & Rebuild Framework
Under the overall umbrella of Pacific Palisades Community Council, the Community Recovery Coordination Council (CRCC) is a broad coalition of volunteer community leaders working in support of the Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) to ensure community-wide coordination, collaboration, and consistent communication.
The CRCC organizes and manages the Pacific Palisades Recovery & Rebuild Framework, aligning the community around key areas of community-led recovery and rebuilding. Some of these areas are supported by existing PPCC committees, while others are addressed by the Advisory Task Forces (ATFs), which provide analysis, input, and recommendations to the PPCC through the CRCC.
How to Participate
To join an Advisory Task Force, please complete this Volunteer Form.
Membership is not the only way to contribute; there will be many opportunities for the wider community to suggest initiatives, raise concerns, and propose projects through each ATF’s public engagement work. If you have relevant expertise, lived experience, or simply a strong interest in a particular area of recovery, we want to hear from you.
Another way to participate in the Long-Term Recovery Plan is to volunteer for the Palisades Recovery Coalition (PRC) Community Recovery Labs. Participants commit to two eight-hour days of structured deliberation. The PRC provides meals, childcare, local transportation, and advance preparation materials.

What is Pali411?
Pali411 is a community-run resource designed to make sure clear, reliable information about our recovery is always easy to find.
The idea came from residents across different community groups, and residents not in any community groups; people who simply wanted one trusted place where our neighborhood's voice could be heard, organized, and counted.
Pali411 has no commercial purpose, carries no advertising, and does not promote any political agenda or outside organization. What you find here comes from the community, and exists solely to serve it. Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) supports this effort and acts as the overall umbrella organization for Pali411. PPCC's President has approved the framework of the ATFs and CRCC, which are advisory to PPCC. Apart from the advisory role played by the ATFs and the CRCC with respect to PPCC, Pali411 is independent, and the views and content here are shaped by the community as a whole, not by any single body or group.
