Under the City Manager's direction, the Public Safety Manager is responsible for maintenance and implementation of the City's Emergency Operations Plan, which includes:
- Training of City staff and community volunteers
- Equipping and managing the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
- Overseeing the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
- Managing the City's emergency notification systems
MALIBU EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN UPDATE
The Malibu Disaster Council was convened in June 2019 to review evacuation and repopulation procedures in the City’s 2018 Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and make a recommendation to the City Council for improvements to these procedures. The Disaster Council consists of the Mayor, City Manager and Department heads and is responsible for reviewing emergency plans and procedures and making recommendations to the City Council. In February, the City Council adopted the updated 2018 Emergency Operations Plan after it was approved by the state and directed staff to recommend improvements to the evacuation and repopulation sections of the plan. Once approved by the City Council, the improvements will be incorporated in the EOP.

Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 2018
The Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan was an extensive effort in all five cities within the Las Virgenes-Malibu Council of Governments (LVMCOG) to address similar hazards and combine their efforts to produce a more thorough Hazard Mitigation Plan. The LVMCOG also provides a point of coordination and collaboration between its member cities as well as other cities and public agencies.
The 2018 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation plan meets the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. By preparing this plan, LVMCOG is eligible for federal mitigation funds after disasters and to apply for mitigation grants before a disaster strikes.

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.
