During the 2018 Woolsey Fire, which destroyed hundreds of homes in Malibu, cell towers burned and communication became an issue. Now, the city's CERT program is working to address that.Malibu has a history of being hit by wildfires, and during the 2018 Woolsey Fire, a major issue was the lack of communication when cell towers burned. But there's an entire team working to address that and more.
"We operate under the authority of the city of Malibu," said Richard Garvey, a Malibu CERT leader and volunteer. " try to address the issue of how do we communicate to our community when there's no cell service, there's no electrical power ...

So, working with our Community Emergency Response Team, which is our official community volunteers, we have created, what we call, information stations.
