At the weekly meeting of displaced Palisades residents held at The Hive restaurant on September 22, Martin Hak of PALI LTRG (Pali Long Term Recovery Group) and Darragh Danton of Team Palisades gave a wonderful overview of grassroots efforts their groups are working on to assist with recovery. Check out their websites because they are considering offering FAQ sections, where they would compile questions people ask, and the answers.
Darragh explained that her group, Team Palisades, has as its mission “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” The mobilize neighbors through a network of block captains, experts, and volunteers to share trusted resources, challenge broken systems, and ensure that every resident—renters, seniors, families—has a fair path home. This individualized help is something we all critically need. Team Palisades
Martin explained that he is treasurer (volunteer) of The Pali Long Term Recovery Group. Their mission is to provide recovery services to individuals and households affected by the Palisades Fire disaster in Pacific Palisades, making sure people take advantage of all of the available resources. The group was founded by fire survivors who are part of and know the fire zone. Home – Pali LTRG
