Prepare for Brush Clearance Season - A message from LAFD: “Brush clearance season is here, and it’s an important part of keeping our community safe—especially in high fire risk areas like the Palisades. Starting May 1, 2026, all properties in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone will be inspected, regardless of whether they were impacted by the recent fire. Some fire-affected properties may qualify for an exemption from the initial $31 inspection fee, but please note that all properties will still be inspected for compliance.
If a property does not meet brush clearance requirements, the owner will receive a Notice of Non-Compliance with details on what needs to be fixed and a deadline to complete the work. Properties that are not exempt and fail the first inspection will be charged the $31 fee, and if issues are not corrected by the second inspection, an additional $758 non-compliance fee may be applied. Taking care of brush clearance early not only helps you avoid penalties, but more importantly, it plays a critical role in protecting your home, your neighbors, and our entire community.” View the 2026 Mailer and instructions here!

Crews are installing the underground conduit system that will later house new 34.5kV and 12kV power lines supporting Distribution Station 29 (DS‑29). This critical infrastructure upgrade will expand capacity, improve system redundancy, and prepare the area for future neighborhood undergrounding. Work is currently underway near Fire Station 69 and will continue moving east. While lane closures are required to maintain a safe work area, one travel lane in each direction will remain open at all times. Construction hours are Monday through Saturday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.”

FEMA and CalOES recommend that communities create a Long-Term Recovery Plan following a disaster to guide decision-making, incorporate community feedback, and better position the community for future funding opportunities. As part of this effort, the City would like to hear from previous and existing Pacific Palisades residents, business owners, and employees. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes and consists of multiple choice and open-ended questions.” Click here to take the survey - thanks for your help!
