Participate in the Palisades Recovery

The Pacific Palisades 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. The Advisory Task Forces (ATFs) exist to 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 ATF 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 shape those decisions rather than react to them.

Any community member is welcome to express interest in joining an Advisory Task Force by completing the Volunteer Interest Form. Our aim is to keep each Advisory Task Force at a size where it can work effectively and move quickly — smaller groups that can go deep rather than broad. 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 Advisory Task Force’s public engagement work. If you have relevant expertise, lived experience, or simply a strong commitment to a particular area of recovery, we want to hear from you.

Another way to participate is to volunteer for the Palisades Recovery Coalition (PRC) Community Recovery Labs. Community Recovery Lab participants commit to two eight-hour days of structured deliberation. The PRC provides meals, childcare, local transportation, and advance preparation materials to make it as easy as possible to participate.

What is Pali411?

Pali411 was built by Palisadians, for Palisadians. It 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.

The Pacific Palisades Community Council has generously agreed to support this effort where it can. That support is appreciated — and it comes with no strings. Pali411 is independent, and the views and content here are shaped by the community as a whole, not by any single body or group.
