All Pepperdine Operations Normal Following Tropical Storm Hilary
Pepperdine officials continue to closely monitor the effects of tropical storm Hilary. The National Weather Service has discontinued tropical storm warnings and tropical storm watches for our area and predicts light rain with the potential for thunderstorms this morning through 11 AM. All roadways remain open, including Malibu Canyon Road, Kanan Road, and Pacific Coast Highway, though it will be common to see rocks and other debris on the road at various times following a storm. Agencies continue to stage additional resources to address challenges as needed.
As a result, University campuses remain open and classes will be held as scheduled.
We are aware that many local school districts, including Los Angeles Unified School District have canceled classes and after-school programs today. Employees who have school-aged children where these closures impact their ability to report to work today should contact their supervisor.
Community members are encouraged to be vigilant, drive slowly and carefully, leave plenty of extra time for travel, and stay informed about conditions by accessing the resources below:
