Greetings!
If you haven’t already, please check out and participate in the “Beach Bites Bingo” program hosted by the Chamber of Commerce with the City’s Economic Development Committee’s assistance. This is meant to be a fun game that encourages support to local businesses!
This week San Mateo County moved into the Orange Tier of reopening, one of four counties in the state to achieve this level of reopening at this point, so restaurants and retail are allowed increased indoor service capacity. Many have been asking about local school plans to re-open. This week Jefferson Union High School shared their reopening plans here. Likewise, Pacifica School District made this announcement about their reopening plans.
Whether you’ve been vaccinated or not, please continue to follow appropriate health guidance, such as masks and distancing. It’s an exciting time right now, as we move closer to a post-COVID new normal, so thank you for doing your part to stay #PacificaStrong as we head in this direction.
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager

Let’s Talk Housing – Countywide Community Meeting on April 14th at 6:00 PM
The high cost of housing impacts all of us. That’s why now is the time to participate in conversations and plan together for current and future housing needs in all of our communities.
Join us on April 14th for a countywide community meeting to introduce the Housing Element update process and take time to talk with others cities including Atherton, Daly City, Half Moon Bay, Woodside, and Unincorporated County. The meeting begins at 6:00 PM with an introduction about the Housing Element update process, then time to talk with your city or town.
The more people we hear from, the better our plans for the future of housing will reflect what is actually needed. Your voice—along with the voices of your neighbors, our workforce and our young people—are critical to ensure we have housing that meets all our needs. This is an introductory meeting, meant for everyone, including people who are learning about this planning process for the first time.
To join a separate meeting that will provide a more in-depth discussion about regional housing need allocations (RHNA) related to this Housing Element update, register for our Let’s Talk Housing: All About RHNA meeting on April 22nd. To Learn more about RHNA, visit our How This Works page.
About Let’s Talk Housing:
Let's Talk Housing is a collaborative effort of all the jurisdictions in San Mateo County focused on getting community feedback that will shape our Housing Elements – a housing plan that is part of every General Plan. Through an ongoing initiative called 21 Elements, we are working together to learn from and listen to the community about their housing needs, helping to make sure everyone is involved in shaping our shared future. Learn more about how you can join the conversation at letstalkhousing.org.

Earthquake and Tsunami Preparedness Course |
|
What is a tsunami? Do I live, work, or visit areas in the tsunami hazard zone? How will I receive information about a tsunami threat?
Education and preparation are the best ways to avoid injury and increase your chances for surviving a tsunami. Whether you live, work, or visit Pacifica, it is important to be aware areas within our community are vulnerable to tsunamis. Tsunamis can be generated by an earthquake locally or come from great distances across the Pacific Ocean.
To learn more, join us for an Earthquake and Tsunami Preparedness Course presented via Zoom on March 25. Use the link below to register for this 90 minute course presented by the City of Pacifica Community Emergency Response Team. The link for this class will be sent with a confirmation email.
When: Mar 25, 2021 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
