Emergency Preparedness Committee
Los Angeles faces 13 of 16 possible federally-identified natural and man-made threats including wildfires, earthquake, landslides, extreme temperatures, disease outbreaks, cyber attacks, etc.
Our neighborhood’s preparedness for such an emergency could directly benefit from greater coordination but we need leaders to make this a self-sufficient, safe, and resilient neighborhood.
Please email us at [email protected], if you have a question, would like to join our team, or would like a copy of our emergency preparedness guide.
