Safety and Preparedness Expo

This fun, free event took place on September 29, 2018 and was a great opportunity to teach kids and adults alike about emergency preparedness. The “Big Shaker” earthquake simulator offered attendees the chance to experience the shaking effects of a major earthquake first hand. Stay tuned for information about the 2019 Expo!

Disaster notification system 

All land line phone numbers in the City of Malibu are automatically entered into the City's Disaster Notification System (Everbridge®). This service is contracted by the City to allow immediate mass distribution of critical information and instructions in case of large-scale disasters, such as earthquakes, wildfires, major road closures, evacuations, or other catastrophic incidents. Residents and businesses may also register additional cellphone numbers (for voice and/or text message), home or work phones, or email addresses to receive time-sensitive emergency messages on multiple devices, no matter where you are. Sign up now. The system is separate from the City's traffic and emergency alerts, which are used for lane closures and low-level emergencies.
