SCE Revises Schedule For Power Shutoffs In Malibu

MALIBU, CA — Southern California Edison revised its schedule for potential Public Safety Power Shutoffs that could affect wide areas of Malibu through Monday, October 28, the City of Malibu announced Friday.

This information was last updated about 4:20 p.m. on Friday, October 25. The areas are below:

• Galahad Circuit (approximately the western edge of Point Dume to Point Mugu and 2-4 miles inland): Midnight to noon on Monday, October 28
• Cuthbert Circuit (approximately Latigo Cyn Rd to Bonsall Dr, and from PCH approximately one mile inland): averted
• Maguire Circuit (approximately Mulholland Hwy to Solstice Cyn, and approximately three miles inland): averted
• Merlin Circuit (approximately from Latigo Canyon Rd. to Malibu Lagoon, and 2-5 miles inland): averted
• Seaboard Circuit (includes Pepperdine University, approximately from Civic Center Way and Malibu Canyon to Carbon Beach and 2 miles inland): averted
• Tuna Circuit (approximately from Civic Center Way and Malibu Canyon to Carbon Beach and 2 miles inland): averted

All Malibu circuit maps are online. Those who are medically dependent on electricity should consider staying in another area until conditions change, the City said. Residents are encouraged to check on family and neighbors who may need help in an emergency.

It could take one to three days before service is restored after a Public Safety Power Shutoff is enacted and hazardous conditions have passed, because SCE must inspect all power lines in the affected circuit area to ensure they are safe to re-energize before turning the power back on.

The City said residents should monitor local news, including KNX AM-1070 and KBUU 99.1-FM on the radio. The City will post information on its website, social media, and Nextdoor, as well as with emergency alerts. Information will also be recorded on the Emergency & Traffic Hotline at 310-456-9982.
