Dear Pepperdine Libboard,

SCE implemented a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) on the Cuthbert Circuit of Malibu at approximately 1:00 AM Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020 in response to dangerous fire conditions (Santa Ana winds and low humidity). Cuthbert includes most of Point Dume from about Westward Beach Rd eastward to Latigo Canyon and about a half mile inland. Approximately 2,338 customers were affected. SCE will re-energize circuits after equipment and lines are inspected for safety, which may take 24 hours or more. See the SCE Circuit Maps: https://www.malibucity.org/973/SCE-Circuit-Maps.
