Emergency Operations Committee Closing

Posted on

The winds predicted for today were less intense than initially forecasted, and the Red Flag Warning will expire at 10 PM this evening. Experts note a chance of light rain this Saturday but do not have concerns about potential slides in burned areas. 

This will be the last update message on these fires, as the Emergency Operations Committee (EOC) is concluding its response efforts, transitioning the University back to regular leadership structures. Though the EOC is closed, Pepperdine continues to support recovery efforts in the Malibu area as well as members of the Pepperdine community who have been impacted by the fires. To learn more about these efforts please visit Pepperdine’s Wildfire Community Support webpage. 

To address common questions, responses have been added to the University’s Emergency Information webpage, along with links to additional information as appropriate. 

Thank you for your cooperation, flexibility, and partnership as the University navigated the most recent fires including the Palisades, Kenneth, and Eaton Fires.
