Officials have reopened Malibu Canyon Road to all traffic. This welcome news confirms the University’s plan to resume in-person classes on Pepperdine’s Malibu campus Tuesday, January 21. Today, only the John Tyler Drive gate is open for entrance to campus. The Seaver Drive gate will reopen Saturday, January 18. The community is encouraged to continue to use Kanan Dume Road, to PCH, to the John Tyler Drive gate when possible, as refueling for fire trucks and other first responders continues to occur on Malibu Canyon between Seaver Drive and PCH. This refueling operation may slow down southbound Malibu Canyon traffic. As always, please drive carefully and remain informed about conditions for Pepperdine’s Southern California campuses by utilizing the following resources: Information about current road conditions is also available on the Road Condition Hotline at (310) 506-ROAD (7623). Greater Los Angeles road conditions can be viewed online at sigalert.com . Parking On Campus Upon Return This Weekend The Mountain Parking Structure will open this month. Upon returning to campus, and until the parking structure opens, students, faculty, and staff should continue to park in the parking lots authorized by their current parking permit. The University will message the community with further details about the Structure and accompanying changes to parking protocols before it opens. Remember, SoCalGas is temporarily using much of the Firestone Fieldhouse parking lot to stage operations to restore natural gas to the greater Malibu community. Pepperdine Launches New Website to Support Wildfire Recovery Efforts Pepperdine launched a new website, www.pepperdine.edu/wildfire , detailing opportunities for giving, volunteering, ways community members can seek further support, and organizations working in the greater Los Angeles area to provide relief to those most impacted by the recent wildfires. Fire Weather Watch Next Week The National Weather Service has issued a Fire Weather Watch advisory for Monday at 10 AM through 10 PM on Tuesday due to northeast winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts up to 50 MPH and low relative humidity. This fire weather watch may be upgraded to a Red Flag Warning over the weekend. These wind predictions are significantly less intense than those from other recent Red Flag Warnings. Red Flag Warnings are issued several times per year in Southern California to denote windier days, with less humidity present, when the National Weather Service encourages diligent preparations to reduce fire risk. Note: wildfires do not occur during every Red Flag Warning. As is typically the case during Red Flag Warnings, University officials prepare the campus appropriately and expect normal campus operations, including classes, to continue as scheduled. Additional information regarding Red Flag Warnings is available on the University’s Emergency Information Page .
