Electric vehicles, autonomous cars, and home battery systems are reshaping everyday life across the Peninsula. When the power goes out, floodwaters rise, or wildfires threaten, do these technologies help — or complicate the crisis?
Recent blackouts in San Francisco offered a stark preview: autonomous vehicles stalled at darkened intersections, snarling traffic at the worst possible moment. It's a reminder that new technologies bring new vulnerabilities. With more than 57,000 EVs now registered in San Mateo County and home battery installations surging, our emergency preparedness must keep pace.
Join us for a timely public lecture by Fire Marshal Gage Schlice of the Menlo Park Fire District. Drawing on frontline experience, Fire Marshal Schlice will explain what makes EVs, autonomous vehicles, and home batteries behave differently during power outages, floods, fires, and evacuations — and what you can do now to stay safe.
This lecture is designed for residents, EV owners, neighborhood leaders, and community emergency volunteers. Free and open to the public.

A California cuisine restaurant with mediterranean leaning.

Amara

Amara is where the Mediterranean comes to play! A sun-soaked garden, bold flavors, and a vibe that pulls you in and keeps you there. By day, it’s the place for long, lazy brunches and families sharing plates in the shade. By night, the energy shifts, cocktails flow, music hums, and the garden feels like a secret you’re lucky to know. Every dish is crafted from peak-season ingredients, inspired by coastlines and cultures where life moves a little slower and tastes a little better. One visit won’t be enough and that’s exactly how we like it. Our Philosophy Food &amp; Drink At Amara, the food and drink share the same philosophy start with the best ingredients and let them shine. We work with local farms and the weekly farmers market to source peak-season produce, ensuring every plate is as fresh, vibrant, and nourishing as it is delicious. Cocktails follow the same principle, mixed with market-fresh herbs, citrus, and spices into creations that feel inventive yet effortless. It’s quality without pretension, made for people who truly care about what’s on their plate and in their glass. Space Amara is designed to transport a sunlit garden, airy interiors, and cozy corners are perfect for lingering. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rugged coastlines and warm hospitality, our space blends natural textures, lush greenery, and flowing water to create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. It’s where you can sink in, slow down, and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Events at Amara From long, lazy brunches to lively Thursday DJ nights, Amara offers experiences as dynamic as its setting. Our garden and private spaces host everything from intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, while seasonal events like Diwali dinners or chef’s table tastings make every visit feel unique. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine at golden hour or a full evening under the stars, there’s always something to draw you back. Check Happenings to see current
