SIGN UP FOR HOME IGNITION ZONE ASSESSMENTS - TUESDAY, APRIL 14
The Santa Monica Mountains Fire Safe Council will be in the Palisades Riviera to conduct Home Ignition Zone (HIZ) assessments on Tuesday, April 14th. If you are available to schedule a Home Ignition Zone Evaluation, please use the link below to select a time and confirm your appointment. If you are unavailable on this day, please sign up to be notified about upcoming appointments at smmfsc.org/hiz.
During your home ignition zone assessment, trained evaluators will survey the outside of the home and yard space to assess potential wildfire ignition threats and provide information on how to improve home hardening and defensible space on your property. HIZs are typically 30-45 minutes, free and private. We are a non-regulatory agency and are not associated with any insurance agencies. Please fill out the HIZ waiver beforehand. The waiver can be found HERE.

Upcoming Local Events
The City of Los Angeles is currently developing a Long-Term Recovery Plan (LTRP) for Pacific Palisades that will guide recovery strategies, projects, and implementation in the short (1-2 years), medium (2-5 years), and long-term (5+ years). It is recommended 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. Please click to fill out the survey:
