The Palisades and Eaton fires are among history's most significant climate-fueled disasters, with communities still struggling to return to normalcy. In response, Climate Resolve, with its expertise in resilience and recovery, is developing a powerful initiative to help communities recover and prepare for future climate-fueled events.

This joint gathering, organized by Climate Resolve and the Thomas Mann House, will bring together people affected by the fires, rebuilding groups, and friends from the community to exchange ideas and plan a resilient future.

Two short panel discussions will focusing on the rebuilding efforts and the future of the Palisades, and address the question on Los Angeles' communities and their role in helping the city's recovery.
