University officials continue to monitor the Palisades Fire, which is approximately 7 miles east of the Malibu campus and has burned more than 1,200 acres. The fire is not a threat to campus. Normal operations are expected to continue at all of Pepperdine’s Southern California Campuses throughout the week. However, during Red Flag conditions and wildfires in the Malibu area, Southern California Edison has initiated preventative power shutoffs for various power circuits in Malibu, and has indicated it is possible that they may do so for Pepperdine’s Malibu and Calabasas campuses tonight. The Emergency Operations Committee (EOC) will provide an update regarding campus operations by 6:00 AM on Wednesday. If there is power, this message will be emailed and posted on the Emergency Information Page .
