“The good news is, Malibu doesn’t have to be caught off guard. We know what time of year Red Flag fire conditions occur. Each year, Malibu experiences 7-8 Red Flag Fire events between October 1 and December 31, totaling 14-18 days of increased wildfire risk. Red Flag conditions are declared by the National Weather Service when humidity drops to 15% or less, and sustained winds reach 25 MPH or more for at least six hours, typically during Santa Ana winds.”
