The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for the region, including Malibu, in effect until 8 PM Friday, with temperatures of 85–95°F expected.

While Malibu’s coast may be somewhat cooler, mountain and foothill areas—including the Santa Monica Mountains—will be much hotter, and warm overnight temperatures will increase the heat risk.

There is a high risk of heat illness for sensitive groups, including young children, older adults, people without air conditioning, and those active outdoors.

Safety Tips:
• Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated
• Stay in air-conditioned spaces when possible
• Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day
• Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing
• Check on relatives, neighbors, and those who may be vulnerable
• Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and take action immediately

Stay safe, Malibu!

SearchAndRescue EmergencyPreparedness

02/26/2026

When CERT teams search a structure, communication is critical. The “X” marking system allows responders to quickly understand:

✔️ Who searched
✔️ When it was searched
✔️ What areas were covered
✔️ How many victims were found

A single slash ( / ) means search has started.
A completed “X” means search is complete and information has been documented.

Clear markings prevent duplicate searches, reduce risk, and help Incident Command track progress.

Prepared volunteers. Organized response. Safer communities.
