When cell service failed on Jan. 7, Ham Radio at American Legion Post 283 kept Pacific Palisades connected. Today, we’re installing a new repeater to replace the one lost in the Methodist Church fire. Reliable communication saves lives. #HamRadio #PalisadesFire #PaliStrong

Thankfully @CVSPharmacy is still standing and we sincerely hope the company continues to stand with the Palisades as it rebuilds in the coming months and years.
