The University is warning faculty and staff not to report to work unless they are critical support personnel or designated by their supervisor.
The campuses issued Shelter-in-Place orders early Saturday morning, as the Woolsey fire burned nearby. The orders have since been lifted and the university community is free to move about but are urged to stay vigilant as spot fires may continue to appear.
Los Angeles County Fire strike teams and air operations are working to contain the flames around the Malibu campus. No permanent structures have been lost, and all individuals on campus remain safe in relocation sites. #pepperdine #woolseyfire
