Operations for Tomorrow Wednesday December 11 – Update #8

Posted on

Pepperdine’s operations on the Malibu campus will again be modified tomorrow due to the Franklin Fire. As such, Critical Support Personnel should check in with their supervisors about whether they should report to campus or work remotely. All other Malibu campus staff should remain in contact with their supervisor and plan to work remotely. All other campuses remain open and operational.

The EOC will continue to monitor the Franklin Fire overnight, as Red Flag conditions including high winds and low humidity are forecast through 8 PM tomorrow. Additionally, power remains out on the Malibu campus, and the shelter-in-place protocol is currently in place for the evening.

The safety of our employees is paramount. Critical support personnel should use caution and exercise good judgment when traveling to campus and may encounter roadblocks. Current road conditions are noted below:

  • Malibu Canyon Road remains closed from Mulholland Drive to PCH; 
  • PCH is closed from Topanga Canyon Boulevard to Kanan Dume Road; 
  • PCH westbound from John Tyler is open, but any vehicle that leaves campus in that direction will not be able to return as PCH is closed eastbound; and
  • Topanga Canyon Boulevard, which is closed to all but local traffic.
