06/22/19 - Notes on Red Cross Presentation - N.C. Emergency Preparedness Alliance
2019-06-22 10:00 - 12:00 | CA
All interested HHWNC stakeholders are welcome at these meetings.
Red Cross Presentation Notes:
-In emergencies, they do sheltering and family reunifications services for LAFD. They provide shelter, meals, bathrooms, showers, a safe place. Blue tape – 40 sf space with a cot. They have many shelter agreements (MOU) with locations now and will broadcast which ones are open after a disaster (news, city notification alerts). Depending on the site, crate trained animals will be accepted. If it is a service animal, they will accept. After a disaster, you can list yourself at the Safe and Well site.
-Recommends everyone be prepared for 7 to 14 days before they receive any help.
-LA has two mega contracts to bring food and water here in two days.
-It takes the red cross 3 days to mobilize before they can help. They said hospitals need about 3 days before they can take in new patients (they need the first three days to handle their own patient issues from the disaster). The recent community HELP drill conducted in Hollywood last week assumed it was the 3rd day after the disaster. We need to take care of ourselves without support for at least three days.
-They have 800k cots and blankets stored in LA county.
-If you want to volunteer after a disaster you will first take a 3-hour training. To work at a shelter you need a background check first. They often need people to go through donated items.
-Supply 40% of blood supply
-Do smoke alarm installations
-Have programming for seniors and children
-5 areas in Los Angeles – 2 full-time staff in each area
-Supported by volunteers (except two full-time staff of the area). After WWII one in two Americans were members of the Red Cross. They are asking us to return to those participation rates.

Preparing for Emergencies and Disasters is easier than you think. Join us for an informative talk about RYLAN with our representative Jackie Koci Tamayo. Meeting takeaways will include:

All your questions answered about the simple steps you can do to bring RYLAN to your neighborhood
How to be an information leader and connect your block to emergency services before and after a disaster
Ways to get basic disaster training opportunities through CERT (Community Emergency Response Team)
Sample forms explained to help you prepare yourself

Come unload all that media stress and get your questions on emergency preparation answered.

Have you wondered how our community in Cahuenga Pass will evolve over the next 20 years? What are some of the issues you face today and would like to see addressed as our community evolves? Come have your say on Monday, Oct 28th at 6:00 PM when we will sit with Miles Orr and his team from the city’s planning division to discuss our concerns and hear the updates to the Southeast Valley Community Plan for our area.
We need to understand what the plan has in store for us in the Cahuenga Pass area and need to make sure City Planning is aware of our specific neighborhood concerns. This will be a great chance for us to be able to ask questions and discuss the possible upcoming changes with them in a smaller setting. Please let me know if you plan to come. Food will be provided.
If you have a planning concern but cannot attend the meeting, please feel free to email your question to me this weekend and I will bring it up at the meeting on your behalf.
This is an important meeting, so I hope you will be there as this Southeast Valley Community Plan will govern what happens in our area for decades to come!

2019-11-07 18:00 - 20:00 | Will and Ariel Durant Branch Library, 7140 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, 90046
Dockless electric scooters began appearing on the streets of LA in 2017. In December 2018, LADOT launched the One Year Dockless On-Demand Personal Mobility Permit to better understand the implications of dockless technology on the city and its citizens. The foothills of the Hollywood Hills West Neighborhood now have an abundance of dockless scooters and they now reach all the way to Mulholland. For those looking to get some exercise in while engaged in dockless mobility, there are also dockless bicycles, which do not have appeared to reach Mulholland, yet. Citywide, dockless mobility trips have grown from just over 340,000 in April to nearly 1,150,000 in September.
Join us at the Durant Branch Library on Thursday November 7 where Bird, Lime, Lift and Sherpa will provide brief presentations followed by a question and answer session.

LAFD Hollywood Hills Evacuation Exercise and Resource Fair
2019-11-16 09:00 - 13:00 | CA
The exercise is based on a fire in the Los Feliz area. Notify LA will be sending test drill notices to all Hollywood Hills residents (about 10am) to prepare their homes for a fire event, take their go bag and evacuate the hills to attend a resource fair at:
Hollywood Presbyterian Church, 1760 N. Gower Street – from 11am to 1pm. There is a parking lot next to the church.
This is a great opportunity to practice what you would do if you were required to evacuate in a real fire. Any questions or missing details can be answered at the resource fair. After this drill, you should be ready.
Please see the flyer. http://www.hhwnc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Hollywood-Hills-Exercise-Resource-Fair.pdf
