Fire and Life Safety Event Review

The Fire and Life Safety team is available to review event plans to ensure proper permitting is received and appropriate FLS considerations, including, but not limited to, review of ingress and egress and fire extinguisher availability, meet University compliance guidelines. Please note all food trucks and food vendors being utilized on the Malibu campus require Fire and Life Safety approval. Additionally, events with stages, tents, or amplified sound may require permitting and should be reviewed by FLS (among any other appropriate parties). Please complete the form below to request FLS event review.
