Congratulations on making it to safety!
I'd say. .get out and get to know the area and your neighbors.
Make sure you get your paperwork in order - any documents, immigration status, citizenship or residency papers.. that's pretty important. Alas, I don't know how to provide any guidance there. It helps to establish residency.

Things are getting a bit colder now, but it is still nice here.

It'll be a bit chilly, so dress warmly, but it it's a good way to meet the community.
