Malibu Declares Emergency to Fight Fire Risk | Venice Beach News

Published 5 days, 17 hours ago
Description

Malibu’s City Council just declared a local emergency as dangerously dry vegetation—down to below 65% moisture—poses serious fire risks, especially near homeless encampments. With this move, the city can act swiftly, clearing camps within a day to prevent potential wildfires, while still supporting unhoused residents through outreach programs. The current count of 27 people and 16 dwellings is the lowest since 2016. The emergency will stay in place until two inches of rain fall, fuel moisture rises to 80%, and there’s a two-week stretch without fire weather alerts.
