3. CA About To Go Petal To The Medal On Speed Cameras: When And Where 185 Cameras Go Live (patch.com) — Malibu drivers will soon face active speed cameras along Pacific Coast Highway, with a 60-day warning period now delayed to November as the city refines its traffic study.

4. No single point of failure in Palisades fire response: Report (newsnationnow.com) — Malibu residents get new insight into how last year's Palisades Fire reached local beachfront properties, as a state-ordered report finds no single failure but many communication and coordination breakdowns.

5. El Niño causes ocean phenomenon waves to raise California sea levels (amedpost.com) — Malibu's already-eroded coastline, including spots where waves recently crashed over Pacific Coast Highway and a sinkhole opened at a local home, could face even higher sea levels in coming days.
