Resilient Palisades will host Our Electric Future, a community celebration focused on rebuilding safer after wildfire while coming back together as neighbors.
The celebration is planned from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 1, at the Paul Revere Middle School, 1450 Allenford. There is free admission and people are invited to come for a few minutes or to stay all day.
Throughout the day, there will be a series of short, accessible panel conversations with homeowners, builders, and clean energy experts who are now navigating the rebuild. These panels will cover what all electric rebuilding looks like in practice, how incentives and rebates actually work, and how solar, batteries, and heat pumps can support safer, more reliable homes. There will be time for questions, conversation, and one-on-one follow-up after each panel.
There will also be hands-on demonstrations including “how-to” with an induction cooktop and seeing how solar, batteries, and heat pumps can help keep homes comfortable and powered during outages.
Families are welcome. Kids can join parents at different discussions or they can build solar-powered toy cars, make art, and play. Additionally, there will be music, hands on activities, and space just to chat with neighbors.
Free vegan food will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will also be a Public Lands Native Nursery plant sale supported by California Native Plant Society.
Members of Resilient Palisades remind people that “rebuilding is a once in a lifetime decision for many families. The choices made now will shape safety, health, and stability for decades.
“All-electric homes don’t have gas lines and meters, lowering the risk of leaks and explosions during earthquakes and future fires,” Resilient members said, and added that “Electric systems are simpler to maintain, often cheaper to build, and better for indoor air quality.”
I believe the event is Sunday, Feb 1, not Saturday
Yes–you are correct, I’ll update on the website and put it in musings
