2026 Community Report Now Available

The Palisades Recovery Coalition is proud to release a landmark Community-Informed Recovery Report. This report reflects the voices of Palisadians who have helped shape a community-led vision for recovery through Neighborhood Charrettes, Community Recovery Labs, town halls, and public engagement over the past 18 months.

Palisades Recovery Coalition

Recovering &
Rebuilding Together

We coordinate rebuilding logistics, connect survivors with recovery resources, and bring neighbors, agencies, and partners together so Pacific Palisades can rebuild stronger and safer after the Palisades Fire.

Community Recovery Labs

Rebuilding the Palisades starts with you.

The Palisades Recovery Coalition is bringing together residents to shape how our community recovers — and what it looks like for the next generation.

PRC Updates

Community Recovery Labs:

Residents across multiple neighborhoods identified shared priorities around recovery governance, density concerns, insurance challenges, and long-term resilience, while also expressing uncertainty about the economic viability of returning to the Palisades.

What’s Ahead in March

This month, just to name a few, we welcomed WISE & Healthy Aging, brought the LA County Assessor and LA Sanitation directly to the neighborhood — real answers to real questions.

PRC Responds to the AECOM Reports

The City recently released the AECOM reports — a multi-volume technical study meant to guide the Palisades recovery. Today, Palisades Recovery Coalition President Maryam Zar delivered our formal response to Councilmember Park. Here’s what we said.

The central hub of our community’s recovery effort

Rebuilding With Purpose, Together

In the wake of the devastating Palisades Fire, our community has faced unimaginable loss—and an equally unimaginable challenge: how do we rebuild, not just house by house, but as a unified and resilient community?

That’s where the Palisades Recovery Coalition (PRC) comes in.

We are a community-rooted, volunteer-led coalition built by Palisadians, for Palisadians. Our goal is simple but urgent: to help Pacific Palisades rebuild smarter, faster, and stronger—without losing the character, charm, and close-knit spirit that make this place home.

We’re not newcomers. PRC has been here from Day One, responding with structure, strategy, and solidarity. While other groups may just be emerging, we’ve already built the programs, the trust, and the relationships that recovery demands.

What to Expect When You Rebuild

Neighborhood Visioning Charrettes

These community-led workshops in each neighborhood of the Palisades give residents a voice in how to rebuild with resilience. Facilitated by RAND and AIA volunteers, these are working groups among trusted neighbors designed to begin thinking about rebuilding with resilience and community character, post-fire. These are not lectures—they’re conversations, tailored to your street, your situation, and your future.

The Comeback Club

If your home survived but your peace and quiet didn’t, you’re not alone. The Come Back Club is a space for residents navigating daily life during recovery—support groups, quality-of-life check-ins, updates on construction timelines, even curated food truck nights and temporary recreation offerings to bring some joy back to our blocks. Recovery isn’t just about rebuilding homes—it’s about restoring community spirit.

Community Workspace

A free, open workspace in the heart of Pacific Palisades — wifi, coffee, and community included. Drop in anytime during open hours.

Community Advisory Group Call

The Palisades Recovery Coalition (PRC) has established a Community Advisory Group which convenes every Wednesday, bringing together LAPD leadership, local officials, and residents to review progress, address concerns, and adapt the security plan based on the needs of the community and feedback from all stakeholders.

Legacy Initiative

The Legacy Family Initiative in partnership with the Trauma Resource Institute is a healing and storytelling program for multi-generational families who lost their homes, memories, and mementos in the Palisades Fire. Together, TRI counselors and PRC volunteers will help families salvage what remains, reconstruct what was lost, and preserve the stories that define who we are as a community.
These deeply personal projects will become part of a permanent “Legacy Collection” — a curated installation within the newly built Palisades Library of the Future, honoring both the grief and resilience of families whose histories stretch across generations. Legacy is not only about what burned — it’s about what endures: love, memory, and the spirit of the Palisades.

Art for Healing

Born from the ashes of the January 2025 wildfires, Art for Healing is PRC’s monthly creative sanctuary — a space where survivors, neighbors, and artists come together to transform loss into light. Sessions are held every second Saturday of the month (unless otherwise announced) at PRC headquarters. Works created through this program will be featured in a community exhibit in 2027.
