Malibu’s emergency alert system will be tested next Wednesday … as the city is trying to perfect it’s computer system that calls residents to alert them to fires or other major problems.
In its first test last winter … the system failed to reach most Malibu phones.
Lessons were learned … including the advisability not to warn the entire city at the same time.
The phone lines and computer system got clock.
City Hall has figured out that … since Malibu is 21 miles long … it would not be likely that the entire city had to be awakened at the same time.
Phones in the western part of Malibu … from Zuma Beach West to County line … Will be tested next Wednesday.
The other three chunks of Malibu will be tested … one quarter each week … later in the month.
Malibu has 13,000 residents and only 36-hundred cell phones are registered with the city.
Emergency officials are imploring people to go to the cities website … to sign their cell phones up for emergency notices.

In news news from up the coast … a last minute ill has been introduced in Sacramento that could be used to wedge open public access to a huge private beach west of Santa Barbara.
Hollister Ranch is a private club with coveted surf points.
Owners of the ranch have reached a secret deal with the state that would succeed in locking up nearly 9 miles of oceanfront … away from most of the public forever.
A public uproar has all but derailed the secret deal.
The legislature is all of a sudden moving on to bill that would make it easier for the state to condemn access to the beach through Hollister Ranch.
A lawyer for the Hollister Ranch homeowner complains about being blindsided by a rush deal in the Legislature.
And some coastal commissioners sat the Coastal Commission screwed up … … by approving the secret deal that its staff made with Hollister Ranch … to effectively lock it up.
But a different agency … the California State Lands Commission … still has a chance to reject the agreement.
