Hollywood Hills Evacuation Exercise and Resource Fair
The LAFD is planning this exercise for people living in the Hollywood Hills and to prepare for a major brush fire. All residents in the area are encouraged to participate at the Resource Fair and know what to do in case of an emergency. There will be many City agencies there.
Los Feliz Radio Network every Monday at 7 p.m.
We know about Map Your Neighborhood and RYLAN, and about preparing for a major earthquake. But what happens when cell service goes out? How do we check on neighbors and nearby safety centers? RADIO is the answer. Inexpensive, no license Family Radio Service (FRS) radios are an effective emergency preparedness tool. Simple to use out of the box, these 2-watt radios have a range of several blocks. Neighbors can agree on a “meet me” channel like we do every Monday evening in Los Feliz on FRS Channel 15.
And there is a higher power version of these radio which operate mostly on the same frequencies called GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) which have a range of several miles. GMRS requires a no-test FCC license which is good for five-years at a nominal cost. You are assigned an FCC license and call sign. GMRS allows you to set up an external antenna which increases the range substantially.
In emergency communications the combination of several high-power GMRS radios with many lower-power FRS radios is a powerful combination allowing communication across several square miles.
See attached for more details.

Hollywood Hills Evacuation Exercise Town Hall #2
The Los Angeles Fire Department, along with all our partners in public safety, will conduct a large-scale drill, simulating an emergency disaster in the Hollywood Hills on Saturday, November 16th. Residents who live in the Hollywood Hills West, Hollywood United, and Los Feliz Neighborhood Council areas are invited to participate in the exercise. LAFD has already identified a block or two in each Neighborhood Council area where residents will receive 'knocks on doors' from law enforcement officials telling them to voluntarily evacuate. All other residents can participate by evacuating to the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood (evacuation center) where emergency responders will review the strengths and weaknesses of the disaster simulation. Attendees will also have the opportunity to get resources and information booths from various departments and organizations.
In preparation of the evacuation exercise, LAFD is holding two town hall meetings where residents will have the opportunity to learn more about the exercise in November and ask questions about emergency preparedness. See below for locations, dates, and times.
Townhall meetings:
Date: Tuesday, October 8th
Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Location: 2035 Highland Ave, Los Angeles, 90068
Date: Wednesday, October 16th
Time: 6:30PM - 8:30PM
