The city of Malibu has declared a local emergency, paving the way for officials to clear homeless encampments ahead of peak wildfire season.
The Malibu City Council approved the emergency declaration Aug. 10, allowing encampments to be cleared the same day notices are issued.
City officials fear a spark from an encampment could be whipped up by winds and quickly develop into a large wildfire. According to city data, 41 fires in Malibu are believed to have been started by individuals experiencing homelessness.

LOL! Now that Kamala has moved into the neighborhood.
Where are they going to go?

"Out."
Used to watch that show every week when I was younger.
Remember the nurse who would smile for a half second. Then the smile would disappear?
Fire prevention plans are always a good deal.
Is that like "people with obesity"?
“Out”
You mean like going out to dinner or out to a movie?
It’s not their pleasure I’m concerned with. I’m concerned with what to do with them so they are not a drag on the rest of society.
These homeless encampments should not exist in the first place.
To boot or not to boot. That is the question.
Generally, if the homeless were NEAKNIKS, things would be different.
I remember when the hippies said that there was NOTHING wrong with drugs. Riiiight.
Besides, Malibu is warm, right on the beach. Of course the ocean there is only 50 degrees, so the only souls in the oceans are nine-year-old kids. BRRR!
Addicts living on the streets of Malibu? Where’s Lebowski’s sheriff when you need him. I especially liked the coffee cup on the forehead. I hate hippies.
“””Used to watch that show every week when I was younger.””
I still do. It’s on the oldies channel. Same with Adam-12.
If they could afford a place to stay, they wouldn’t be homeless. Unfortunately, telling them not to be homeless doesn’t resolve the issue.
Why clear out the encampments ahead of fire? I suppose if they are deemed to be in the way of moving fire fighting equipment it constitutes a reason.
Because the “people experiencing homelessness” in California have a history of starting fires.
