Clear communication will be the foundation of a successful recovery.
We propose developing a community bulletin board that allows us to be able to amplify community concerns, and address them with information we are able to gather from recourses ranging from our leaders and lawmakers as well as experts and industry professionals with insight and experience that can benefit the Palisades recovery.
We are also working on a collective contractor app to manage deliveries, share real-time updates, and coordinate schedules. Regular community meetings to address emerging issues and enduring priorities will be the cornerstone of our outreach. To date, we have successfully held several of these convenings, and continue to interface with carious stakeholders – bringing new people to the table in order to give the community a sense of control and connection. A developing network of volunteer neighborhood ambassadors will aim to help keep neighborhoods informed, ensuring information flows quickly and clearly.
Security and neighborhood coordination will also be important elements of the rebuilding – as permits in process indicate there will be a great deal of construction ahead and securing sites, property and staging areas will be a challenge around which information sharing and communication will be critical. Monthly contractor updates could help manage expectations and share progress.
Early planning for community communication will help ensure things run as smoothly as possible.
