The Great Shakeout
Every year, millions of people recognize the third Thursday of October as International Shakeout Day, a time specifically geared toward earthquake preparedness. Activities normally include conducting drills and exercises, and at a minimum, practicing the earthquake safety steps ‘Drop, Cover, and Hold On’ as if experiencing a major earthquake.
What is the ShakeOut drill?
The Great ShakeOut earthquake drills are based on scenario earthquakes that could affect the area if they were to actually take place. Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills are an annual opportunity for people in homes, schools, and organizations to practice what to do during earthquakes, and to improve preparedness.

Aliso Canyon 10-Year Town Hall with Dr. Jeffrey Nordella
It’s hard to imagine, but in three weeks, we’ll be marking the 10th anniversary of the onset of the Aliso Canyon gas blowout. Save Porter Ranch and Food & Water Watch have been planning a town hall to commemorate the disaster that resulted in 111 days of uncontrolled methane and many other chemicals being blown at least 12 miles throughout the San Fernando Valley.
They will have speakers discussing the ongoing health study, the independent fenceline monitoring system (including the new phone app), an upcoming sustainability project that is funded by penalties against SoCalGas, and other topics that should be of interest to you. One of their special speakers will be Dr. Jeffrey Nordella, who has been informing the affected areas about possible health risks for ten years.

Veterans Day
National Holidays
Veterans Day is an official United States holiday honoring all those who have served in armed service.
Thank You For Your Service!
Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War I (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect). The United States also originally observed Armistice Day; it then evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday in 1954.
Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving.

Board of Neighborhood Commissioners Meeting
The Board of Neighborhood Commissioners (The Commission) was established by the City Charter in 1999 as a policy-setting and oversight commission for the Neighborhood Councils and the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment.
The Commission is comprised of 7 Commissioners appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council to 5 year terms. The Commissioners are all from diverse backgrounds and geographic areas of the City of Los Angeles.

Canoga Park Neighborhood Council General Board Meeting
Canoga Park NC Board Meetings
All of the board and committee meetings are open to the public and provide you with the opportunity to speak. The board procedures are more formal than committee meetings so your time to address the Board may be limited. Committee meetings are generally informal, and discussions between participants are commonplace. This is important because the heart of Neighborhood Council work happens at committee meetings.

Shine LA
Created by Mayor Bass, Shine LA is a movement that strengthens communities by bringing Angelenos together from across the city to beautify LA neighborhoods. With major global events just around the corner – the 2026 FIFA World Cup, 2027 Superbowl and 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games – Shine LA inspires Angelenos to take pride in preparing their communities to step onto the world stage.
Since launching in April, Shine LA has brought together more than 2,000 Angelenos for a day of service in more than 30 neighborhoods across Los Angeles. Volunteers have participated in activities such as tree planting, utility box painting, loose litter pick-up to educational programming on composting.
Shine LA is every fourth Saturday of the month in neighborhoods across Los Angeles.
