Info: Rebuilding for Resilience: How Electrification Protects Homes and Families
When wildfires strike, every decision about how we rebuild matters. This session brings together fire-safety experts, architects, and energy professionals to explain how all-electric design makes homes more resilient, safer, and more affordable to maintain. Learn how airtight, all-electric homes improve air quality, comfort, and defense against fire—while lowering long-term costs. Speakers include Susie Harris (Passive House Network), Kari Weaver (Resilient Palisades), Nina Knierim (CORE), and Gene Eidelman (Azure Printed Homes). Moderated by Kathrin Werner (Palisades Recovery Coalition). Discover how to build stronger, cleaner, and smarter from the start.

Info: Ready to move away from gas but not sure where to start? This panel brings together local contractors, electricians, and homeowners who have already made the switch. Learn what “going electric” really means—step-by-step upgrades, costs, and lessons learned from real Palisades projects. Whether you’re rebuilding or retrofitting, you’ll leave knowing what to do first, who to call, and how to avoid costly surprises. Speakers include Sasha Jokic (Cosmic), Justin Skaggs (Decision Construction), and Moe Abulebdeh (Mega Solar), moderated by Anita Bradbury (Simply Solar). Gain the roadmap to confidently and affordably electrify your home.

Info: Financing and Permitting Pathways: Making Electrification Affordable and Possible
Permitting delays, power upgrades, and insurance hurdles can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to stop your rebuild. This panel brings together local experts to share how homeowners are stacking rebates, leveraging low-interest solar and PACE loans, and meeting city requirements without getting caught in red tape. Learn practical strategies to make your all-electric rebuild pencil out—and hear real examples of homes already saving thousands per year in energy costs. Speakers include Kristin Allen-Jones (Treepublic & CleanFi), Drew Pedrick (MCTIGUE), and Anita Bradbury (Simply Solar), moderated by Allison Holdorff Polhill (Office of LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin).

Info: What would it take for the Palisades to become a model for safe, fire-resilient, all-electric neighborhoods? This closing panel looks ahead to the systems that will power our collective future—undergrounding power lines, building local solar-plus-battery networks, and planning neighborhood-scale microgrids. Hear from leaders in clean energy, design, and city policy about how home and infrastructure choices today can create a community that stays powered and protected through any fire season. Speakers include Nancy Sutley (City of Los Angeles), Allison Holdorff Polhill (Office of LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin), Heidi Adams (BASEstud.io), and Molly Crete (LACI), moderated by Valeria Serna (Resilient Palisades).
