Safety Element (PREP) Community Workshop
Peninsula Resilience Planning (PREP) - Safety Element Update in East Palo Alto
How can we make our communities more resilient to hazards?
Join us for a roundtable discussion on the update to East Palo Alto’s General Plan Safety Element — a critical document that guides policies and programs to protect our communities from natural hazards like f looding, wildfires, and extreme heat. We want to ensure that all communities have a voice in the planning process, especially those that are most vulnerable to the effects of natural hazards. Your voice is vital in shaping a safer, more resilient East Palo Alto for all of us.
When: December 5th, 2024 6:00 - 7:30 PM
Where: East Palo Alto YMCA (550 Bell Street)
What is PREP?: This update also called Peninsula Resillience Planning (PREP) will be conducted in collaboration with several jurisdictions in San Mateo County including Atherton, Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, Half Moon Bay, San Bruno, and San Mateo County. Staff will be working closely with project managers from Community Planning Collaborative (formerly Baird + Driskel Planning) and PlaceWorks.
