Countdown to Election Day 2024
Malibu Navy Days Feb. 22-25.
Public Ceremony Feb. 22, 1:30 pm, at the Pier.
A Navy warship will anchor off the historic Malibu Pier from Feb. 22-25, in celebration of the second annual Malibu Navy Days. The ship will anchor on Friday and depart Monday.
Join the City of Malibu, Pepperdine University, the Malibu Navy League, and the Malibu Chamber of Commerce in welcoming the the Navy ship anchored off the iconic Malibu Pier and help celebrate the Navy and over 200 enlisted sailors who will come ashore to visit Malibu during Malibu’s Navy Days, February 22- 25, 2019.
The public and the media are invited to welcome the ship and sailors at the Welcome to Malibu ceremony and press conference on Friday, February 22, 1:30 PM on the pier.
Malibu individuals and businesses are encouraged to welcome and thank the Navy personnel (and their families) for their service to our country as they visit Malibu during their shore leave throughout the weekend. In addition, Navy personnel will be serving the community through service projects during their stay.
No public tours of the ship will be available, but there will be plenty of photo opportunities for visitors. The ship will be visible to visitors from the Pier and the shore for photo opportunities during its stay.
Malibu welcomes and salutes our sailors!
LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and a task force of more than two dozen county, city, state, and federal agency and community leaders will be present during two public Listening Sessions on February 23 and March 3 to hear from residents affected by the Woolsey Fire.
The Public Listening Sessions will be held on February 23 and March 3 to capture the experiences of residents affected by the Woolsey Fire. In December, the LA County Board of Supervisors approved a comprehensive review of the Wolsey Fire response and recovery. The motion asked for a specific assessment about emergency notification and procedures, strategic communications during the fire and its aftermath, and community repopulation notification and procedures.
The public testimony during the Listening Sessions will inform the report being prepared by LA County, so that it can accurately reflect the experiences of those most affected, and gather recommendations for improvements that could be put into place for every stage of such a wildfire. LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and a Task Force of more than two dozen community leaders will be present during the Sessions to listen to the public testimony.
The Listening Sessions will be held on Saturday, February 23rd from 10am-3pm in Malibu at Elkins Auditorium at Pepperdine University, and Sunday, March 3rd from 10am-3pm at King Gillette Ranch.
The Woolsey Fire, a fast-moving brush fire that was 14 miles wide, with a footprint of 150 square miles, and driven by gusts of up to 70 mph, was the most destructive fire L.A. County has ever seen. It moved from the 101 Freeway to the Pacific Ocean in just five hours. Seventy thousand homes, businesses, and other structures lay in the fire’s path, and a quarter of a million people were evacuated.

In 2010, reflecting the widespread esteem in which her work is held, President Barack Obama awarded Oates the National Humanities Medal.
Since 1963, more than 40 of Oates’s books have been included on the New York Times list of notable books of the year. Among her many honors are two O. Henry Prizes and two Bram Stoker Awards, the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, World Fantasy Award, and M. L. Rosenthal Award from the National Institute of Arts and Letters. In 2009, Oates was given the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Book Critics Circle. In 2012, she was awarded both the Mailer Prize for Lifetime Achievement and the PEN Center USA Award for Lifetime Achievement.
