Monitoring the Current Rain Storm in Southern California

Posted on Updated on

Pepperdine officials have been preparing for, are monitoring, and are actively managing impacts to our campuses due to the current rain storm in the Southern California area. The national weather service has identified this as a major storm system that may continue to bring heavy rain and wind to the area through Wednesday, February 7, 2024. This storm may result in flooding, debris flow, and/or impacts to local area roads.

Currently, all campuses are operating normally. The University’s Emergency Operations Committee will continue to evaluate conditions and campus impacts, including any road closures, and information from government officials and other local resources. Please note, decisions regarding class cancellations, or campus closures where only critical support personnel would report to campus, are typically made by the Emergency Operations Committee before 6 AM on days affected by storms. On Monday morning, February 5, the University will send a community update – whether classes remain as scheduled or are canceled. Going forward, if classes are canceled, the University will update the information resources listed below, and email a message to the community. 

All employees and students are encouraged to drive slowly and carefully, leave plenty of extra time for travel, and remain informed about conditions for Pepperdine’s Southern California campuses by utilizing the following resources: 

  • Malibu Campus Road hotline: 310.506.ROAD (7623)
