The Palisades Recovery Coalition (PRC) is a community-led initiative guiding Pacific Palisades through post-wildfire recovery and long-term rebuilding. As a trusted hub for coordination, advocacy, and support, PRC has united residents, civic leaders, and partner organizations to shape a comprehensive recovery plan rooted in local values and forward-looking resilience. The Coalition actively interfaces with elected officials, consultants, and public agencies to advocate for durable solutions to foreseeable risks and to champion the establishment of a dedicated Palisades Rebuilding Authority. Through public forums, strategic partnerships, and collaborative planning, PRC leads efforts to ensure that Pacific Palisades rebuilds stronger, safer, and more resilient.
