Pepperdine Monitoring Washington D.C. Threat

Posted on

Pepperdine University is committed to the safety and security of our students, faculty, and staff members wherever they are in the world.  We are aware of the recent video in which a purported member of ISIS makes a threat of violence against Washington, DC.  The FBI has released a statement noting that at this time there does not appear to be a specific or credible threat to the United States.  However, Pepperdine University will continue to closely monitor the situation and will share more information with our community as needed.  We work closely with local and national government agencies as well as a private global security firm in order to do our best to protect our community as is reasonably possible.

Red Flag Warning

Posted on

A Red Flag Warning was issued for most of the Santa Monica Mountain Malibu area beginning Thursday, November 12 at 6:00 AM and continuing through Friday, November 13 at 6:00 PM.

Red Flag warnings identify time periods when conditions are ideal for wildfires: gusty winds, low relative humidity, and low fuel moisture levels. During Red Flag warnings it is especially important to:

  • Report any signs of smoke immediately to emergency responders. If on the Malibu campus, call Public Safety at (310) 506-4441. At all other locations, report smoke by calling 911.
  • Smoke only in approved locations.  Use caution when disposing of cigarettes and ensure that they are completely extinguished.
  • Minimize any use of open flame in outdoor settings.

Pepperdine Public Safety is monitoring the situation and is prepared to respond to potential wildfires. Additional information regarding Red Flag warnings and Pepperdine’s wildfire response plans is available on the University’s Emergency Information Page, http://emergency.pepperdine.edu, and in the Emergency Preparedness Guide found in WaveNet beginning on page 14.
