At PRC, our role is to bring residents together with solid information, trusted experts, and each other, so the choices that will define our community for decades are shaped by the people who live here.
That’s the idea behind our Community Recovery Labs™, where Palisadians roll up their sleeves on the toughest recovery questions and chart a way forward. We’ve taken on governance and resilience. Next up is density, our third CRL.
We can’t do it without you. Sign up to volunteer for the Density Lab and help power the next chapter of community-led recovery.
Stay tuned for the release of resilience recommendations this week
Catch Up
The PRC team has been hard at work preparing for our next Community Recovery Lab, which convenes this Saturday to take on density. It’s a topic that will shape how the Palisades rebuilds, from what our streets and neighborhoods look like to who can come home, and it hasn’t yet had the focused, community-wide conversation it deserves. This Lab is a chance to change that, with residents, experts, and neighbors working through the questions together.
On Sunday, PaliBu hosts its Recovery Expo, bringing resources and rebuilding know-how together along La Cruz Dr. Between Saturday’s CRL and Sunday’s Expo, this weekend is shaping up to be a real step forward in the Palisades’ recovery.
There’s plenty more ahead, too. Take a look at the upcoming events below, and we hope to see you at one (or all) of them.
Got 3 Minutes? Help PRC
We’re working to better connect Palisadians with recovery resources. This quick survey takes two to three minutes and is completely anonymous. Whether you’re a resident, displaced, a business owner, a volunteer, or a donor, we want to hear from you.
Take the survey by Friday, October 9.
Coming Up
PaliBu Resource & Recovery Expo — October 11
The “farmers market for the recovery” returns to Pacific Palisades on Sunday, October 11, from 11 AM–3 PM for PaliBu’s final Resource & Recovery Expo of 2026.
More than 150 recovery resources, agencies, nonprofits, rebuilding professionals, products and experts will come together in one place—along with expert panels, music, food trucks and community programming. Surrounding streets will close to traffic, creating a walkable recovery marketplace in the heart of the Palisades.
Free and open to the community. Come with questions, explore resources, meet the people helping us rebuild—and connect with neighbors along the way. VISIT PALIBU
All are welcome to share their stories
Saturday, October 17th, 2-5 PM
Every Palisadian has a story, and every one of them belongs in the record. Join Pepperdine Libraries and us for an afternoon of community storytelling, where you can share, record, and preserve your experience of the fire and everything that has come after.
Whether you lost your home, returned to a standing one, rent, own, grew up here, or arrived recently, your story matters and has a place in this archive. Come as you are and share as much or as little as you like.
We’ll have snacks, great conversation with neighbors, and therapists on site for anyone who would like support along the way.
Recovery Talk: Tuesday, October 13th, 5- 7 PM
Join us for a practical conversation designed for Palisades homeowners navigating the rebuild process. We’ve brought together a panel of experts to share real options, honest advice, and answer your questions.

Take the L.A. Fire Survivor Insurance Survey
Delayed, denied, or underpaid on your insurance claim? Or did your insurer do right by you?
Every Fire Survivor’s Network is partnering with UCLA researchers to build a public record of how insurers treated fire survivors, so they can be held accountable.
It takes 15 minutes, your identity stays private, and every survivor’s experience counts, whether you own, rent or were uninsured.
