Online Survey to Gauge Disaster Preparedness in Malibu

The city of Malibu is encouraging residents to take part in a survey that aims to gauge disaster preparedness in Malibu and other nearby cities.

The survey is meant to provide a forum for public input on the level of disaster preparedness in the community. It also aims to identify risks in the area, according to Brad Davis, Malibu's Emergency Services Coordinator.

The survey is being conducted in the communities of the five member cities of the Las Virgenes-Malibu Council of Governments, including Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Malibu and Westlake Village.

"The data gathered will be used to help local officials better plan for disasters, as well as communicate with citizens and residents on mitigation steps to reduce the risk of disaster-related loss," Davis said.
