Community advocacy—not government authority

The Task Force does not speak for public agencies and does not issue engineering or emergency findings. We organize community evidence, explain public records, make specific requests, and invite correction.

Governance under development

Leadership roles, meeting cadence, decision rules, fiscal relationships, and records policies will be published after member approval.
