About this Collection

Various environmental factors present in Malibu—such as seasonal winds, a dry climate, and geologically unstable terrain—result in a predisposition towards natural disasters. This collection contains photographs related to natural disasters that occurred on Pepperdine University's campus or in the surrounding Malibu area from 1983 to 2007. These events include several fires as well as an earthquake, storms, and flooding. Photographs feature fires and firefighting, evacuees sheltering in place on Pepperdine's campus, burn scars from fires, and benefits for these disasters.
