The University is monitoring the situation with fire and governmental officials and will provide updates as additional information becomes available.

Pepperdine officials have reinitiated shelter-in-place protocols for the Malibu campus.

At this time, the fire has shifted east and has begun traveling south and west toward the coast. The University is monitoring the situation closely with fire and other officials and will provide updates as additional information becomes available.
Shelter-In-Place Order for the Malibu Campus Temporarily Lifted
Pepperdine’s EOC has temporarily lifted the shelter-in-place order for the Malibu campus. Individuals on campus are encouraged to remain on campus due to road closures and severe congestion restricting travel. Please use this opportunity for self care—return to your room, rest, take a shower, or continue to spend time with community in Firestone Fieldhouse, Tyler Campus Center, and/or Payson Library.
Depending on weather and fire conditions, the University may need to reissue a shelter-in-place order. Please have a go bag ready in the event we need to shelter-in-place again.
