The PRNC actively reached out to provide support to victims and responders of the Chatsworth Train Accident on September 12, 2008. Christopher Cooper, PRNC Treasurer, is with the LAFD and was among the first on the scene.
Becky Leveque, PRNC Police, Fire and Safety Chair coordinated with Judi Daniels, Chatsworth Neighborhood Council’s President to provide food, supplies, and blankets, sharing the cost between the two councils. She also went to the Red Cross to donate blood.
Paula Cracium, PRNC VP, inquired of Jim Dellinger from Councilman Smith’s office and found that water was needed. She and her family loaded their van with water and delivered it on behalf of the PRNC and Shepherd of the Hills Church. She comments, “The literally hundreds upon hundreds of safely officials were doing an incredible job responding to this tragedy - so as requested, we dropped off the supplies and move out of the area as quickly as possible.” She also offered the church facility as a resting location for responders and other resources.
