Malibu Begins Limited Repopulation  – Update #14

Posted on

The Franklin Fire continues to burn in the Santa Monica Mountains but is no longer near or threatening the Malibu campus. The weather has improved considerably from a fire perspective. Winds are relatively calm, and the red flag warning has ended.

While the campus may have some lingering hot spots, fire personnel are addressing these promptly and continuing their mop up work. Power has been restored to the Malibu campus. As can be common after wildfires, the University may experience periodic temporary power outages as utility companies are inspecting and maintaining lines, but these should be resolved relatively quickly. 

While portions of Malibu remain under mandatory evacuation, fire and law enforcement officials have announced a relaxation of some of these closures as they begin to repopulate previously evacuated areas for Malibu residents with IDs. We are seeking clarification and further information as it relates to the Pepperdine community.
