Disasters can strike with little warning. Emergencies happen when you least expect it. Our goal is to help neighbors prepare for these things together— sharing vital tips, local resources, and training events to keep their community safe and ready.
In the wake of the sudden 2025 L.A. Fires, many residents were forced to evacuate with little warning, and even less preparation. Seeing this firsthand, some Brentwood Park residents took action. They began connecting with neighbors to strategize how their community could be better prepared for future emergencies.
What started as a local effort has grown into an initiative to help neighborhoods anywhere in the world become more resilient together. The goal of this site is to become a central hub where communities can access practical tools and resources— from go-bag checklists and evacuation routes to information on CPR, first aid, and Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) in their area.
When neighbors unite, everyone is safer. Let’s get prepared— together.

Before drastic changes are made to our landscaping policies, it's critical to understand the science behind defensible space and wildfire behavior. This interactive report highlights the latest research on home ignition zones, fire-resistant landscaping, and real-world case studies. It challenges the one-size-fits-all approach and offers a more balanced, data-driven perspective. Take a few minutes to explore the findings—it could reshape how we protect our homes and our environment.

New fire regulations may require the removal of all plants within 5 feet of your home. These changes are moving fast and will affect neighborhoods across Brentwood and the Westside. Click below to learn what’s happening and how to take action.
We are reaching out to inform you of significant proposed changes to “Zone 0” regulations that could drastically impact our neighborhoods, requiring us to remove many trees and hedges around our homes. These regulations are being fast-tracked and will affect communities across the Westside — including Bel-Air, Brentwood, Brentwood Park, the Palisades Riviera, and Pacific Palisades.
The California State Board of Forestry and CalFire are proposing sweeping changes to landscaping rules for properties located in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones:
Zone 0 (within 5 feet of structures) = Removal of all plant material.
New revisions to these rules will be released in mid-June, with a goal of passing them by year-end. We must act quickly to advocate for smarter, science-based policies.
