In the aftermath of the Palisades Fire a group of people have come together to form what we have come to call the Pali Recovery Coalition. What began as gatherings at the Riviera Country Club became a brain trust of thoughtful Palisadians that consistently came together to discuss ideas shared at a table with the aim of foreseeing the perils ahead, and solving for them.
What started as conversations around a table quickly evolved into a dynamic collaboration, driven by a simple idea: foresee the obstacles ahead and create solutions before they become roadblocks. Guided by resilience, innovation, and a deep love for our community, we are working every day to ensure the Palisades not only recovers — but thrives.
Over the course of in person meetings since February 11th — and with more than 100 community members at the table, representing Palisadian organizations, neighborhoods, and businesses — the Pali Recovery Coalition came together to create a draft logistics plan for the systemic rebuilding of an entire community.

The emerging plan is still a work in progress — a living framework shaped by ongoing conversations, evolving needs, and the collective wisdom of our community. To bring it fully to life, we need your voice, your input, and your commitment.
With more than 5,000 homes needing to be rebuilt in an area defined by a challenging topography of limited roads, steep hillsides, and narrow streets, we knew that recovery couldn’t be left to chance. It demands a clear, coordinated framework — a plan to move massive amounts of material and thousands of workers safely and efficiently in and out of the Palisades, and to rebuild not just homes but the heart of our community.
The road ahead won’t be easy – the coming years may test our patience and resolve – but if we move forward together, united in purpose and guided by the spirit of the Palisades, we can not only rebuild what was lost but preserve and strengthen all that makes this community wonderful!
