Malibu plans swift homeless clearance amid fire risk

Malibu has declared a local emergency during peak fire season to swiftly remove homeless encampments in high fire hazard areas, aiming to reduce wildfire risks. The order allows the city to conduct same-day clearance without the typical 48-72 hours' notice, given dry brush conditions and past fires attributed to homelessness. Since 2021, Malibu has seen a decline in fires linked to encampments, with only two reported in 2026, and current homeless numbers are at their lowest in recent years. The city employs outreach teams and law enforcement to encourage compliance and connect individuals to housing resources.
