LAMVCF Launches Wildfire Relief Effort

Our hearts go out to all those impacted by the Greater Los Angeles wildfires. To help those who have lost their homes and livelihoods and address other wildfire-related needs, the Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation has established a dedicated wildfire relief fund. Residents can donate online.

Be Prepared: An Emergency Can Strike At Any Time

The current Greater Los Angeles wildfires underscore the importance of being prepared for any type of disaster. Don't wait – take steps to prepare yourself and your family by creating a "go bag," reviewing your emergency plan, and signing up for emergency alerts from the City.

Agenda Available for Upcoming City Council Meeting

The agenda lists all the items to be discussed during the Tuesday, January 14 City Council meeting. Community members can attend in person at the Council Chambers (1 N San Antonio Rd) or watch live on the City's YouTube channel.

Winter Classes Begin This Week

Parks & Recreation Winter 2025 classes begin Tuesday, January 14. Registration is underway now and continues through March. Offerings include returning favorites and new classes.
