The City of Malibu’s next Public Safety Town Hall meeting will cover alerts and warning systems from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, April 26. Presentations will be given by the LA County Fire Department, LA County Sheriff’s Department and City of Malibu Public Safety Manager Susan Dueñas.
Attendees will learn the process of how the sheriff’s and fire departments respond to fire emergencies as well as how evacuations are called and how emergency alert systems are used.
The topic is being covered in part as a result of last year’s fires north of Malibu. In a statement on its website, the city is “working to ensure that its emergency alert systems are as effective as possible.” Recently, it conducted a citywide test of the Disaster Mass Notification System.
The meeting will take place at Malibu City Hall (23825 Stuart Ranch Road) and is open to the public. Call 310.456.2489 ext. 313 for more information.
