Help Shape Our Community's Recovery |
Altadena Residents: Your Voice Matters
Your response is critical for securing resources and building a more resilient Altadena.
The Future Organization is conducting an independent survey to document Altadena residents' experiences before, during, and after the Eaton Fire. Your response will:
- Create an unbiased record of community impacts
- Evaluate emergency services effectiveness
- Guide resource allocation for rebuilding
- Help prevent similar disasters in the future
This confidential survey takes about 20-30 minutes, but it will help shape our community’s recovery. It is exclusively for Altadena residents (18+) and is not affiliated with any government or private entity.

Sunday, March 30 • 3PM
Altadena Main Library |
With so much discontent and so many displaced by the fires, please join us for an event with Rinpoche as he explores the potential and power of our mind when facing challenging times, from a wisdom that has been passed down from teacher to student for centuries.

Since 2002 Rinpoche has traveled year-round teaching seminars and leading retreats. During the COVID pandemic, Rinpoche held online retreats for his students around the globe. Khentrul Rinpoche is one of the only monks in the world with three khenpo degrees — the equivalent of three Ph.Ds in Buddhist philosophy. Many of his students have nicknamed him “the mind training Khenpo” for his passion for teaching mind training practices.
