1 Power was out, we only learned by listening to a battery operated radio, but at first misunderstood 1/11/2019 7:23 AM
order to apply to zones 8 & 9,
2 Because the power was out, I have no idea what time the order was given. I didn't hear about it 1/7/2019 6:41 AM
until hours later.
3 I was in Culver City taking a CE course waiting for the evacuation order. My husband was in 1/6/2019 10:11 AM
Topanga and had no idea what was going on.
4 In the November 30, 2018 Messenger Mountain News, a letter (p2) written by Topangan Steven 12/15/2018 3:19 PM
Pollard caught my attention. He states that what happened in Paradise could happen here
because of similar conditions- sits on a hilltop, surrounded by valleys, only four narrow roads out. I
feel we should follow his suggestions very carefully for our future. 1. Have a high-up fire tower
manned at all times- which Topanga used to have on Saddle Peak. 2. Phone calls sector by sector
takes too long- this was a major failing in Paradise. These fires burn too fast. People need
notification right away to prepare. My suggestion is that the person at the fire tower could see/know
which sector should leave first, followed by the next and so on- which could be dealt with by
varying counts of a siren (punctuated blasts) or bells in each sector, or bull horns. Maybe have a
siren go off immediately, then have a person/s elected at each sector to use bull horn, ring bell
(1or 2 or 3 or 4 times- depending on which sector should leave first. A communication system
between the Firepower and the town would have to be set up. Everyone would know within
minutes what is happening and can leave without too much chaos. 3. Of course make all roads at
that point one-way out. 4. Fire bunkers- like Kansas underground storm centers...along TCB- a
bond issue? 5. Generators around the town because electricity is cut off. 6. Back up generators for
water. Thank you, Deborah Salt 323-376-2211
5 Didn't learn of the evac until @5pm due to SCE's power shut-off. 12/15/2018 3:15 PM
6 at work, I did not return 12/11/2018 9:44 AM
7 We had gotten alerts to evacuate at 1:30am on Fri morning Nov 9 so we evacuated then, only to 12/3/2018 11:47 AM
find out it was not mandatory until later that day.
1 / 61
8 Serious problem in communication. Power went out at 550am or somewhere around there. That 12/3/2018 9:44 AM
means no internet, no voip communications, and worse, no cell phone towers with power. We
were incommunicado all day. In the afternoon, I decided to head toward the valley. It was then that
the evacuation notice was texted. Outside of that, there was no indication that Topanga was being
evacuated.
9 Someone out of the canyon called me on my landline to let me know about the mandatory 12/3/2018 9:40 AM
evacuation.
10 I was in old canyon and without power starting at 6am and throughout the day. 12/3/2018 1:18 AM
11 Had no idea we were under voluntary evacuation until I went to get the mail and happened to run 12/2/2018 3:47 PM
into a neighbor who drove back to get his family
12 I was lucky my Frontier landline battery was still working because my niece one Calabasas called 12/1/2018 6:34 PM
to tell me of the mandatory evacuation. I never got a the county call on home phone. Did call
TCEP line to make sure my zone was included.
13 I was visiting friends in Pac Pal. 12/1/2018 12:48 PM
14 I had NO electricity NO phone service. NO cell reception. I was completely cut off from ALL 12/1/2018 11:23 AM
notification and communication
15 The power was out. No cell. No means to receive alerts I traditional way. 12/1/2018 10:46 AM
16 We have a small generator and were able to listen to a radio. We did stretch an electric cord to our 12/1/2018 10:10 AM
neighbors and they were also able to get notified of the evacuation. Of course, we had no cell or
internet or cable service which would have allowed us more safety. We communicated the evac
notice to other neighbors who had no means of knowing.
17 Fire was a long way away from Topanga when the order came out. Roads closure seemed 12/1/2018 9:39 AM
unnecessary.
18 Did not get the info due to power off and as it filtered in via neighbors and radio it was unclear if it 12/1/2018 8:48 AM
was official. The wording seemed ambiguous compared to previous events.
19 We Never heard the official word. No power and even our old school plug in phone did not work. 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
We opened up our disaster guide and tune into channel 7 on our old walkie talkie. Someone was
saying Fernwood evacuate. It was about 3 or 4 PM. We knocked on our streets doors to give the
news and then left.
20 I had left for work in Santa Monica, but was aware of the fire jumping the 101 so brought a bag 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
packed for my baby. My wife had already left for her job downtown. As such we had nothing when
the evacuation order was given.
21 Yes I was and it was very scary. 12/1/2018 8:13 AM
22 Started packing both cars hours before. 12/1/2018 7:57 AM

23 Took awhile to find out due to the power outage 12/1/2018 6:02 AM
24 But power was down, cel and internet down on Deerhill/Arteique. Walking our dog on the ridge trail 12/1/2018 4:29 AM
is the first time I saw the huge column of smoke and went straight home
25 I left during voluntary, but my daughter was home (all stuff was packed) but she did not know there 12/1/2018 12:47 AM
was a mandatory even though we leave right off the Blvd. She drove toward valley to check cell
phone messages and got my message there was mandatory (I was on the road to San Diego). My
lifeline was T-Cep tweets but mostly KNX 1070 Radio which I reminded my daughter about as cell
coverage was out. But KNX did not announce mandatory at first.
26 I have a generator and many neighbors were at my house Friday morning/afternoon to watch the 11/30/2018 11:46 PM
news and charge up their phones/laptops. We were all here until we received the evacuation
orders.
27 At work. Thought there would be a voluntary order first. 11/30/2018 10:40 PM
28 I live in Calabasas behind the Calabasas High scjool 11/30/2018 10:36 PM

29 Luckily we had an old battery operated AM radio, otherwise, we would have been totally 11/30/2018 10:13 PM
uninformed.
30 We were in discussion with our neighbor who was getting a cell signal up at Saddlepeak. She kept 11/30/2018 9:22 PM
us informed, and we then informed our other elderly neighbors.
2 / 61
31 I was in Topanga but did not receive the evacuation order as I had no communication because of 11/30/2018 8:51 PM
the power outage. I left because I knew I couldn't call the fire department or anyone else.
32 No preliminary warnings though. Would have liked that! 11/30/2018 8:49 PM
33 Woke up thankfully at 5:45am so that at 5:55am I knew my power had been shut off 11/30/2018 8:37 PM
34 We had just landed at LAX and the mandatory evacuation order had gone out a few hours earlier. 11/30/2018 8:34 PM
35 Wish the cell phone towers had backup generators so we could communicate when the power 11/30/2018 7:08 PM
goes out.
36 With the power out, I had to scramble to find out whether the evacuation order was recommended 11/30/2018 6:52 PM
or mandatory. I listened to my car radio while I charged my phone. I drove up to Summit to Summit
so I could get texts and email etc. Then I went to a neighbor's house where I knew she had power
via her roof top solar system.
37 We did not evacuate our horses earlier, b/c the fire was so far away, we did not want to take 11/30/2018 6:41 PM
corrals from people in the line of the fire. Then all the stables filled up.
38 I did not get notification until I went to the Valley at lunchtime, when my phone began to light up 11/30/2018 6:39 PM
with evacuation notices. Nothing was received while home due to the power outage, no internet,
etc.
39 But I only learned about it first by word of mouth, then by listening to my car radio. 11/30/2018 6:24 PM
40 We left about an hour before the official evacuation notice was issued. 11/30/2018 5:55 PM
41 the power was out, but I ran my car to use my cell phone - which had little power due to the cell 11/30/2018 5:53 PM
phone towers and my router out.
42 We left once we found out the school was closed and we had no way to receive information 11/30/2018 5:52 PM

1 Although our power was out we were fully functional. We have solar panels, tesla batteries and a 1/6/2019 11:23 AM
large generator. Our landline phone is ATT copper (818 area code). We receive our internet via a
private microwave link because we do not have fios or cable TV. Cell phone is always over
internet.
2 TCEP HOTLINE. I was working on it. 1/6/2019 11:21 AM

4 But, cell service down due to SCE 12/15/2018 3:15 PM
5 My car battery went dead but a neighbor recharged it. 12/5/2018 12:47 PM
6 We had two neighbors on Hillside with generators. We could have gone to their homes to access 12/5/2018 11:44 AM
their wifi apparently. About 12 neighbors stopped by to exchange first hand information that day.
Since I was busy packing for our trip, I just used the radio we had to listen to the top of the hour
reports. When we went to look for our cat, neighbors in the driveway of the home where the
generator was reiterated the mandatory evacuation order.
7 neighbor had a generator and we used his wifi 12/3/2018 4:42 PM

8 We had these available but only the HAM radio, car radio, and battery radio were functioning. We 12/3/2018 3:26 PM
did have access to a nejhighbor's landline phone but didn't know if our old landline would still
work. The cell phone and I'net did not work. We haven't used the FRS phone in years and didn't
think of trying it.
9 TV 12/3/2018 1:20 PM
10 wind up radio that never indicated Topanga was being evacuated. 12/3/2018 9:44 AM
11 Nothing at my house at all since we had no electricity. Internet was dead until much later than 12/3/2018 8:39 AM
evacuation ended. No cell phone reception at our house.
12 Nextdoor neighbor had internet running on battery backup. He kept us informed of updates. 12/3/2018 1:18 AM
13 But I had no idea there was a problem and so would not have gotten in the car (power outahe 12/2/2018 3:47 PM
meant internet was out; no cell phone power for Verizon)
14 Crank/solar radio 12/1/2018 6:34 PM
15 Had to drive to Woodland Hills to get information since the power was turned off 12/1/2018 4:06 PM
16 Generator 12/1/2018 3:22 PM

17 In Fernwood and down on the Topanga boulevard, there was no cell service available, so a house 12/1/2018 1:05 PM
generator supplying power would not enable internet (FIOS Frontier wireless). We listened to a
solar/handcrank AM transistor radio for spotty news on the fire.
18 Television was powered by a generator 12/1/2018 12:08 PM

19 None. Did not try car radio 12/1/2018 11:23 AM
20 My neighbor has a high-end generator that kicked in as soon as the power went out. We could 12/1/2018 11:03 AM
watch t.v. coverage and listen to the house radio. The internet wasn't initially helpful.
21 We used generator intermitently so that we could have internet and could use our cell phone over 12/1/2018 10:42 AM
wifi. We mostly listened to KNX 1070 on battery operated radio. If we did not have the generator
we would have been without power for 32 hours
22 We usually have both cell service and landlines working during power outages in Fernwood. We 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
have a copper landline with an old fashioned phone that works great to find out what is happening.
This time, absolutely no cell service. It wasn't an issue of power but connectability. We use Verizon
for cell, Frontier Fios for cable and landline.
23 generator and plug in radio 12/1/2018 10:10 AM
24 I was at the TCEP EOC so had cell service. 12/1/2018 9:57 AM

25 I had no communications available to me as power was out and so was Spectrum. I thought power 12/1/2018 9:39 AM
outage was due to Edison shutting off power. Apparently that was not the case.
26 No power or contact Drive up to top of topanga to get cell service 12/1/2018 9:25 AM
27 Is that a walkie talkie? 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
28 Do you mean what did I have that was working? 12/1/2018 8:28 AM
29 No communications until I drove into Santa Monica. Neighbours warned me of the likelihood of an 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
evacuation incoming.
30 I have set up my house so it is not grid (electric, internet, TV, phone, cell) dependent. 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
5 / 61
31 Edison never restored my power from the 1993 firestorm, and I have been on a generator ever 12/1/2018 8:13 AM
since 1993. The only good thing about no Edison is I don't rely on them when there are power
outages. All people in a rural area where the power is going to be shut off for wind condition safety
need a backup power source!
32 Saw neighbors packing their cars on our street - Waveview Drive. 12/1/2018 7:57 AM
33 We had no communication without power. It was very disturbing. 12/1/2018 6:54 AM

34 This was only because we had a generator. 12/1/2018 6:52 AM
35 But never thought to check there for info. 12/1/2018 6:17 AM
36 Driving to where the cell worked to check 12/1/2018 6:02 AM

37 Sprint was working closer to town center where I have a building in construction. This is where I 12/1/2018 4:29 AM
picked up details to share with the people at our house and neighbors
38 cell phone when I left canyon but my daughter had nothing (drove part way to valley to get 12/1/2018 12:47 AM
messages). I guess she forgot about car radio
39 because of my generator we had power here. 11/30/2018 11:46 PM

40 None 11/30/2018 10:40 PM
41 Twitter via my cell phone, 11/30/2018 10:36 PM

42 and the pathetic TCEP hourly updates on the walkie talkie. The information was hours behind 11/30/2018 9:28 PM
what the radio was broadcasting and then when we needed it more than ever the dude signed off
to go be with his family. ENOUGH of this Andy of Mayberry communications. We are in a new age
of communications and we need to assemble all of our tech savvy neighbors and institute
something that is cutting edge and useful. It was truly abysmal!
43 The only thing I had was a battery radio. 11/30/2018 8:51 PM

44 All I might have had was radio. Left for valley. 11/30/2018 8:49 PM
45 generator plus am radio plugin... 11/30/2018 8:37 PM

49 Even though I had no cell service I did get the evac alert on my cell phone 11/30/2018 6:19 PM
50 We have a generator 11/30/2018 6:06 PM
51 I have a HAM radio, but didn't use it as we soon evacuated. 11/30/2018 6:01 PM
52 None 11/30/2018 5:55 PM
53 none 11/30/2018 5:48 PM

54 We were out-of-state and not affected by the mandatory evacuation. 11/30/2018 5:46 PM
55 We need a backup power system for the cell towers in Topanga. The problem wasn't that the 11/30/2018 5:45 PM
power was out, it was that the cell towers were taken out as well.

4 It didn't end up mattering because they didn't stage the evacuation by zone, which apparently 12/5/2018 11:44 AM
caused a traffic jam southbound on the 27, really poor planning. Voluntary orders should also have
been given hours sooner to allow people to better prepare for a mandatory order possibility and
begin to allow for a more gradual evacuation flow.
5 Our home is on the dividing line between two zones so we use both. 12/3/2018 3:26 PM
6 Zone 2 12/3/2018 1:18 AM

7 Zone 9 12/1/2018 1:05 PM
8 Zone 7 12/1/2018 11:23 AM
9 Why did we not have voluntary Evans? 12/1/2018 10:46 AM

10 Fernwood zone 7. Note we were told to leave via PCH but the person on walkie talkie did not 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
realize that PCH was already jammed with people leaving Malibu. We ignored the direction and left
via TCB to the valley.
11 Zone 6. 12/1/2018 8:13 AM
12 Zone 7 - I've lived here on Waveview for 39 years. 12/1/2018 7:57 AM
13 Not really because I am in the corner of three zones (1270 Oakwood Dr.). The numbers are hard 12/1/2018 12:47 AM
to remember as well. I'm trying to think what they are right now and still have no clue - bad
memory I guess.

19 We are in Zone 1, but because we are in Woodland Crest, we've never gotten the Emergency 11/30/2018 5:37 PM
Guide. I had to go knock on my new neighbor's door to let her know about T-CEP and the
evacuation order.

1 No details about evacuate to north or south were given on the ham radio announcement. 12/5/2018 11:44 AM
2 We would not have know if we were still in the Canyon at the time of Mandatory evac. 12/3/2018 11:47 AM
3 because we heard there was a flipped car on the S-Curves and needed to go another direction 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
seemingly into the fire
4 we understood that we were to travel toward the ocean, however, we also understood that due to 12/1/2018 10:10 AM
the Malibu traffic it would be more expedient to go towards the valley
5 Yes - but they were telling us to go to PCH and we heard that it was grid locked so we went to the 12/1/2018 7:57 AM
valley.
6 We were instructed to evacuate towards PCH which made NO sense since there was total gridlock 11/30/2018 9:22 PM
there. So, we evacuated through the valley.
7 I knew it would be better to go to the valley. 11/30/2018 8:51 PM
8 yes, but I didn't want to go to Santa Monica so we went north 11/30/2018 8:37 PM
9 I was clear on which direction I was supposed to evacuate but it meant a ridiculously longer and 11/30/2018 6:11 PM
more dangerous commute.

was no traffic heading south until I got to the 10 Fwy.

14 I left when mandatory evacuation was called. 12/5/2018 12:47 PM

13 / 61
19 We left about 3 PM on the 9th and altho' we were told to evacuate via PCH which is very close, we 12/3/2018 3:26 PM
had to pick up grandchildren in the northern end of the canyon and chose to evacuate via the
Valley since we knew PCH was jammed due to Malibu residents trying to get out.
20 Nov 9 at 1:30am when we were first alerted by Nixle and phone. 12/3/2018 11:47 AM
21 Left at 5pm 12/3/2018 9:44 AM
22 We left within 1/2 hour of learning about the order. We're believers in clearing out asap. 12/3/2018 9:40 AM
23 Friday about 4 hours of evacuation orders. Came back Sat morning when electricity was restored 12/3/2018 8:39 AM
to get the remaining two cars from my garage.
24 I left before the evacuation order because if I stayed home, it was too cold and I had no means of 12/3/2018 7:30 AM
contact or news
25 We left Friday, Nov 9, at about 5pm. 12/3/2018 1:18 AM

30 6pm friday 12/1/2018 7:55 PM
31 Nov 9 in early afternoon, I packed us up earlier in the morning when fire jumped the 101 12/1/2018 6:34 PM
32 I have lived in this neighborhood for about 80 years and have never seen the need to evacuate. 12/1/2018 5:04 PM
Topanga and particurly my neighborhood was not threatened.
33 11/9 at 12:00pm 12/1/2018 4:06 PM

34 Had eye on fire from various personal sources stayed out of way of officials though. 12/1/2018 3:22 PM
35 I left in the late morning around 10:30 12/1/2018 2:01 PM
36 Friday when the evacuation order came through. We had already packed in preparation. 12/1/2018 1:40 PM
37 After sheriffs came around, we left at 9:15 pm, via PCH. 12/1/2018 1:05 PM
38 we were not in danger. people who leave loose their houses 12/1/2018 12:52 PM
39 Evacuated Sunday Morning. 12/1/2018 12:08 PM

41 i left at 7pm friday evening. 12/1/2018 11:03 AM

42 Have a safe room and fire hoses. 12/1/2018 10:46 AM
43 We left around 4:30 from the canyon on Friday. 12/1/2018 10:34 AM

44 3:00PM 12/1/2018 10:10 AM
45 The evening of the 9th after the sheriff came up the drive and asked us to leave. Was vacillating 12/1/2018 9:57 AM
until then.
46 I left on Saturday when the air got a little thick. The sheriff's dept. officer gave me false information 12/1/2018 9:39 AM
that the fire was near. It was not true.
47 Nov 9 I was on my way out before the evacuation because I had no power. Got the text on my 12/1/2018 9:25 AM
way out of town
48 I left on Friday, November 9th, at around 6PM 12/1/2018 8:56 AM
49 Was packed and about to leave when the power came back on. Decided to stay based on 12/1/2018 8:48 AM
behavior of active fire and to do Arson Watch patrols as the real danger seemed to be if a new fire
started in Topanga.
50 We left on Friday about 5 PM. I already had a trip planned so left with a packed car. I have Valerie 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
about return to Topanga on Saturday. Later that day sheriffs knocked on the door and told him to
leave.
51 around 2:00 on Saturday 12/1/2018 8:28 AM
14 / 61
52 I had already left. 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
53 We had evacuated our horses on Thursday night, so when the Mandatory notification came on 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
Friday we calmly loaded cars and left at approx 4pm
54 No. Home sheltered and defended the property, canyon and neighborhood. I am a WATCHER: I 12/1/2018 8:13 AM
live on top of a ridge where I can see in all directions, and can alert neighbors below me about
approaching fire. I have called in at least 4 fires since 1988 that I saw from my property before
anyone else did. All rural communities need WATCHERS to help out. We also patrolled the
neighborhoods looking for looters, and we found them. Laws need to be changed so that people
like me who want to defend can exit the canyon to get necessary supplies to home defend and
THEN RETURN WITHOUT HARRASSMENT FROM THE SHERIFF'S AND CHP! This is critical
!!!!!!!!! We need to be able to get supplies. I home defended the entire week without groceries and
fuel for my generator because I was not allowed to leave and return. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG
AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. The Fire department and Sheriff's benefit from having
civilian ACTIVE IN BOTH HELPING EVAC PEOPLE, and catching looters. A local friend of mine
caught 3 different looters in Topanga, and got them arrested. You need our help!
55 Friday 12/1/2018 8:00 AM
56 We left around noon - valley way - felt that people that did not would make more work for the fire 12/1/2018 7:57 AM
department. Saving people instead of saving homes.
57 friday morning 12/1/2018 7:31 AM

58 Friday morning 12/1/2018 6:54 AM
59 I left around 3 on nov 9 12/1/2018 6:52 AM

60 Mid afternoon on Friday, November 9th. 12/1/2018 6:17 AM
61 Thank goodness Santa Maria road was open to the valley. We evacuated 50 animals using that 12/1/2018 6:02 AM
route after TCB closed on our second trip into the valley Got a late start because we didn't have
the info due to the power outage. Most of the animals moved out on the following day
62 4pm friday 12/1/2018 4:29 AM
63 I left early about 11AM as I was going to San Diego. My daughter left later because she did not 12/1/2018 12:47 AM
hear about mandatory about 3 or 4PM I think
64 fri 9am 11/30/2018 11:54 PM

65 We left about an hour after the evacuation notice came. 11/30/2018 11:46 PM
66 I had already left but my daughter was here. She evacuated because of no power. 11/30/2018 10:40 PM

72 At time of mandatory evac, I was working in West LA. 11/30/2018 9:08 PM
73 Friday November 9th 11/30/2018 8:54 PM

74 About 4pm 11/30/2018 8:51 PM
75 I left when power out. Was not clear if or when it would return, and being without power of 11/30/2018 8:49 PM
communication made staying difficult as long as I had an easy place to go in valley. Had I not, I
probably would have toughed it out.
76 Friday 11/30/2018 8:38 PM

78 Sat, Nov 10, 5 pm 11/30/2018 8:36 PM

79 There was no imminent danger to the area we live in - zone 1 - based on the wind direction. This 11/30/2018 8:02 PM
remained the case throughout the entire mandatory evacuation order for our zone.

80 Was packing to leave due to power outage so was early ready to go, left around 2 PM Friday 11/30/2018 7:55 PM
afternoon
81 idk 11/30/2018 7:52 PM
82 Friday afternoon. I left around 4:00 pm. 11/30/2018 6:52 PM

83 I have a concrete bunker with steel doors with a 15” air gap to an exterior sheet of 1/2” 11/30/2018 6:47 PM
Hardibacker cement board. It’s surrounded by dirt on 3 sides, with a 9” concrete roof and 16”
cement and rebar filled block walls . I have fireproof coveralls, my own water supply, and a hose
bib at county pressure, before the regulator reduces pressure for domestic use. There is enough
oxygen for 40 people for 40 minutes, and canned oxygen as well to create positive pressure to not
let in smoke through the vents. I lost a house to fire in 2008, and learned that I am the only one I
can count on to fight to save my home, as the county firefighters were dismissed from the house
that burned at 5pm the afternoon before the winds changed, and fire consumed my house. I am
not the only Topangan that has prepared in this manner, and zig am mentioning it here only to
explain why some of us will not evacuate, but will not divert resources by needing to be rescued.
We also will not be contributing to traffic jams caused by too many people trying to go the same
way at the same time. I have heard that the canyon can take 2-4 hours to evacuate, anode that fire
could progress from the 101 to PCH in 1. This is the reason I have prepared as I have, and I
encourage others to consider doing the same!
84 We left Sunday....it took until Sat. night to evacuate horses....horse trailers were stopped and not 11/30/2018 6:41 PM
allowed up many times.
85 Friday about 3:00 PM. 11/30/2018 6:39 PM

86 I had left town before fires started 11/30/2018 6:32 PM
87 Friday around 5:00 11/30/2018 6:25 PM
88 I felt there was no immediate threat to my area of the canyon and I did not want to compete for 11/30/2018 6:24 PM
resources with those who needed them more urgently. We helped other people without horse
trailers evacuate from the fire area in Malibu and Agoura and saw how little available space there
was. We were asked to help others evacuate, but once the road was closed we felt we couldn't do
this anymore for fear of not being allowed back in. Otherwise, we could have continued to be
helpful to others.

97 Friday, November 9 at 1 pm 11/30/2018 5:55 PM

Coleman stove, lantern, and battery radio - I have been here 40 years.
99 Saturday, 10 November, 2pm 11/30/2018 5:53 PM

100 Before the evacuation. It looked bad and we didn’t like that we couldn’t get any communication, 11/30/2018 5:52 PM
even the landline was down. Once in the valley we received the robocall text alerts

take the 405.

2 All the 10 Freeway offramps closed until the 405 Fwy. 1/7/2019 6:41 AM
3 none 1/6/2019 12:36 PM

4 There was a problem with the interface between our generator and our tesla batteries. We came 1/6/2019 11:23 AM
back in on Saturday via Santa Maria
5 None 1/6/2019 11:21 AM

6 I had to sneak back in since PCH was closed at Sunset. I had to get back to get my husbasnd and 1/6/2019 10:11 AM
dogs out.
7 none 1/4/2019 10:32 AM
8 None. I went north instead of south, where we were supposed to go because past experience told 12/17/2018 5:20 PM
me that getting onto PCH could be impossible.
9 no 12/17/2018 8:35 AM
10 none 12/15/2018 3:15 PM

11 none 12/11/2018 9:44 AM
12 None. So many had evacuated, there was no traffic problem. 12/5/2018 12:47 PM
13 None on the road. Because there was no warning that we might be evacuating, we had let our 12/5/2018 11:44 AM
outdoor cat go in and out all day and she was no where to be found when the orders were issued.
We had to have a good samaritan come back and rescue the cat on Saturday and transfer her
across the blockade to our housecleaner. We ended up giving both of these women money,
exacerbating evacuation costs. The other major problem we had was that the air quality in
Sacramento, where we had evacuated to to stay with my parents was horrendous. We had to
leave Sacramento so that my daughter could play outside. We were going to go to Santa Barbara
on Thursday from Burbank Airport and stopped by the Police blockade in Topanga before finishing
the trip.
14 none 12/4/2018 1:37 PM

15 none 12/3/2018 4:42 PM
16 None. We had already been packed and left as soon as the evacuation orders came. Traffic was 12/3/2018 3:26 PM
very light at that time.
17 None...left late 12/3/2018 9:44 AM
18 When we left (about 3:30, I think) the road was more crowded than usual, but not enough to 12/3/2018 9:40 AM
impede traffic.
19 No electricity 12/3/2018 8:39 AM
20 We headed South to PCH because a friend in Brentwood offered her home for us to stay. The 12/3/2018 1:18 AM
traffic on PCH was all clear at 5pm when we drove south to Brentwood.
21 I experienced no difficulties heading North. My husband was unable to get back to the Canyon in 12/2/2018 9:28 PM
time to retrieve medication and clothing.
22 No way of knowing what was happening except for my car radio. 12/2/2018 5:20 PM
23 Stayed with friends who fortunately have a big house but also a dog. Left cats in Topanga. 12/2/2018 3:47 PM

25 Getting information was hard 12/1/2018 8:31 PM
26 None 12/1/2018 8:17 PM

27 Hard and painful carrying things to car as I was recently injured. Finding place to stay 12/1/2018 7:55 PM
28 Well honestly if order is given the canyon need to be on lock down so others can’t be coming in 12/1/2018 6:34 PM
while we are trying to get out. Lots of non residesents on the road down taking selfies and
photographing the fire and the making u-turns.
29 Was told to go south but the accident was blocking the road so went north 12/1/2018 4:06 PM
30 Would imagine being displaced with our animals at a a nearby hotel would’ve been an expense 12/1/2018 3:22 PM
31 not enough information 12/1/2018 2:01 PM

32 Finding hotel accommodation for our dog and 4 cats. 12/1/2018 1:40 PM

34 n/a 12/1/2018 12:52 PM
35 On Saturday evening at 7 pm CHP officer at road block south of Mulholland would not allow a 12/1/2018 12:08 PM
caravan of a half dozen horse haulers into the canyon. Caravan had to drive to Old Topanga
where CHP allowed them in without hesitation. Precious time was wasted. Officers at road blocks
need to know to allow horse haulers into the canyon if safe.

37 no. traffic was pretty clear by evening. 12/1/2018 11:03 AM

38 Not having one source for news on the fire. I used Nextdoor, a map from SF Chronicle that was 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
updated every couple of hours, Twitter, local tv news, AM radio and finally T-Cep to try to confirm
all of this but usually the updates were a little late for my taste

41 None but I left early 12/1/2018 9:25 AM
42 Santa Monica closed all exits from PCH and the 10 Freeway. Very ungracious of them, and very 12/1/2018 8:56 AM
inconvenient to get where I was going. Took me 2 hours to reach Inglewood.
43 None because we left before things got too crazy. Smoke was blowing other way. No visible 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
flames. That’s the time to leave.

46 Cars moved slowly even before the evac due to lights being out on PCH. 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
47 We found we had an issue with the integration of our generator and Tesla PowerWall. The 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
PowerWall needed a manual reset to turn off the generator. Our installer said other than physically
doing the reset and then disabling the generator, the generator would run until it was out of
propane. This was unacceptable, so we drove back to our house on Saturday via dirt Mulholland
and Santa Maria Rd
48 none 12/1/2018 8:00 AM

56 I did not have my roof cleared of leaves, I have mobility issues but eventually managed to get 12/1/2018 12:47 AM

61 None. There was a police car with a megaphone that seemed to want us to pull over repeatedly. It 11/30/2018 10:13 PM
was just confusing. We could not understand what they were saying.
62 None. Having no power or internet was difficult. 11/30/2018 9:34 PM

63 none 11/30/2018 9:32 PM
64 The Center at Taft was hard to find in the dark; and they had NO information about hotels, which 11/30/2018 9:22 PM

71 None. Since I heard from a neighbor 2 hours after the evacuation order, traffic was not bad by that 11/30/2018 8:15 PM
time. Since I went toward the valley did not have to deal with pch or Westside traffic.
72 None 11/30/2018 8:06 PM

8 Yes, my daughter is 5.5 years old with special behavioral needs. She threw tantrums much of the 12/5/2018 11:44 AM
morning while I was trying to pack for our trip to Sacramento. It wasn't until my housecleaner
arrived (I had no way to communicate to her what the conditions in Topanga were) that I was
actually able to pack. My husband was unavailable and it is generally like that every time we
evacuate, I have to handle the evacuation of myself and my daughter alone.

5 we did at one time but not sure what happened to our group. Would love to revisit it! 12/1/2018 10:42 AM
6 No we no longer have a neighborhood network officially on our street. Yes I would join one. 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
7 Yes at Deerhill/Arteique but not at Cuesta Cala/town center 12/1/2018 4:29 AM

11 I suppose. I don’t know what it is. 11/30/2018 9:34 PM
12 Not sure. Use to. Yes I would join. 11/30/2018 8:51 PM
13 We think we belong to one but there aren't ever any meetings or announcements really and we 11/30/2018 8:02 PM
don't know who else is in the NN, if there even is one... just sometimes we get emails but they are
just emails that are forwarded from TCEP. I feel like I get more info from NN's in other parts of
Topanga where friends just forward me the info they are sharing with their NNs. I feel like the NN
process for our neighborhood is not functioning well.
14 Yes 11/30/2018 6:47 PM
15 Possibly 11/30/2018 6:32 PM
32 / 61
16 Sure 11/30/2018 6:13 PM
17 Yes but as usual it all completely fell apart and everyone left without speaking or communicating - 11/30/2018 6:11 PM
also in part because all communication was down.
18 Yes 11/30/2018 5:55 PM

# DID YOU FIND THE TCEP WEBSITE TO BE HELPFUL? DATE

1 Not really, more up-to-date info elsewhere 12/15/2018 3:15 PM
2 no- I was more focused on LA County Fire,Sheriff feeds and KNX who did a great job 12/11/2018 9:44 AM
3 Not as much as expected 12/3/2018 1:20 PM
4 It was SO VERY helpful!!!! 12/3/2018 11:47 AM

5 Checked a few times. 12/1/2018 5:04 PM
6 TCEP twitter was more helpful but mostly checked other twitter feeds for the fire department which 12/1/2018 4:06 PM
was more current
7 yes 12/1/2018 2:01 PM
8 No, we monitored 69bravo.com, windy.com, and Nextdoor Topanga. 12/1/2018 1:05 PM
9 Very helpful until they evacuated. A centralized government authority providing regular detailed 12/1/2018 12:48 PM
updated information would be very helpful to Topanga residents. Low power radio station from
Saddle Peak?
10 Yes it was helpful for confirming news I already learned. 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
11 Yes, I checked it regularly online. 12/1/2018 8:56 AM
12 Twitter better and faster 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
13 Not really, it wasn't updated that often, and news came from other places first 12/1/2018 8:28 AM
14 No, but I will in the future. 12/1/2018 8:13 AM
15 Very helpful - but would have been more helpful if updated more frequently. I realize it is powered 12/1/2018 7:57 AM
by volunteers - so I guess it was as good as it could be under the circumstances.
34 / 61
16 not especially but there isnt anything else really 12/1/2018 7:31 AM
17 yes, but I did not like some of the shaming for people who were not leaving. I do appreciate what 12/1/2018 12:47 AM
you do very much, I just do not think some of the pressure to leave was effective.
18 The information was accurate, but I usually got the same information several hours before via 11/30/2018 11:46 PM
different sources. TCEP seemed to be slow with any updates.
19 it never is, always way behind the other applications 11/30/2018 9:28 PM
20 Not so much. Obvious to all, Next Door was far more timely and informative! OFFICIAL info lagged 11/30/2018 8:49 PM
well behind crowd sourced info. This requires adaptation - we live in new world!
21 Couldn't. No internet. 11/30/2018 8:15 PM

22 I checked it at first but then once TCEP said they were leaving and wouldn't be updating with 11/30/2018 8:02 PM
regularity the TCEP sight and any of their social media posts or twittter or whatever were always
the LAST things I would check when I would do my periodic info checks. Once TCEP said "we are
volunteers and we are leaving" and basically not to rely on that site for info, then I knew I better
rely on other official sources of information like LA County Fire, fire/law enforcement scanner
sources, etc.
23 Very helpful. But I would have appreciated more frequent updates. Sometimes I heard information 11/30/2018 6:52 PM
on the KNX radio before I saw it on TCEP.
24 sometimes 11/30/2018 6:41 PM
25 The website was helpful, and I appreciated the information that was available on it. At times, 11/30/2018 6:24 PM
however, whoever was writing the posts seemed to adopt an unfortunate judgmental tone that
bordered on bullying, expressing disapproval of some residents' choices. I do not think that is
appropriate; objective information is valuable, but harassment (even with good intentions) is
uncalled for.

1 The message wasn't updated at first. I texted Scott Ferguson and he got it corrected. 1/6/2019 11:23 AM
2 I didn’t realize there was a hotline. 12/3/2018 11:47 AM
3 I kept checking the website - I wasn't aware of a hotline. 12/3/2018 9:40 AM

4 I checked twitter updates from TCEP 12/3/2018 1:18 AM
5 At the time I called there were no volunteers to answer the phone or update the website. They 12/2/2018 9:28 PM
were helpful later as they updated the website.
6 Could not get through. 12/2/2018 5:20 PM

10 Very helpful. More frequent updates would have been good. 12/1/2018 7:57 AM
11 didn't know about it. Did it have information that was not on their website? 12/1/2018 6:54 AM
12 I went to TCEP site for updates 12/1/2018 6:17 AM
13 When the power was out before the fios phone battery died 12/1/2018 3:23 AM
14 0 12/1/2018 1:50 AM
15 No power not possible 11/30/2018 8:54 PM
16 Neither the hotline nor the TCEP website are helpful. Both are slow and outdated due to the 11/30/2018 8:34 PM
criteria to have multiple verifications before posting on the web site. TCEP is outdated and
unnecessary. Nextdoor was extremely helpful, as were the Nixel updates and county/city of malibu
update that came out in a timely manner, unlike TCEP info.
17 Couldn't. No phone or cell. My neighbor had a hard wired landline which I was able to use. 11/30/2018 8:15 PM

14 Yes, but they didn't come often or fast enough 12/1/2018 8:28 AM
15 These were the most helpful form of communication. Used the website to look at old Tweets. 12/1/2018 8:27 AM

25 TCEP does not provide timely information. 11/30/2018 8:34 PM
26 Somewhat. It seemed like most sources of info were just cutting and pasting from other sources. 11/30/2018 6:39 PM
They were redundant after a little while.

2 That's how I received evacuation orders. 12/5/2018 11:44 AM

3 We don't use our FRS since no one in our NN was interested years ago. We checked on the 12/3/2018 3:26 PM
hourly updates thru' our HAM radio.
4 We used to do neighborhood drills for Top of the Hour reports, but hadn't done one in over a year 12/1/2018 2:01 PM
5 Did these reports continue throughout the evacuation? I would buy a radio for next time if so. 12/1/2018 12:48 PM
6 We don't get very good signal here for FRS radios. 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
7 I was listening to Blue 3 on my scanner 12/1/2018 8:48 AM
8 Thebperson on channel 7 did not sound official and was not super “in charge” I know everyone is a 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
volunteer but the channel 7 person should make some sort of announcement saying this is official
word from LA County or TCEP.
9 It didn't occur to me to listen to it...would have been great if there had been a Tweet about it 12/1/2018 8:27 AM

that it wasn't a reliable resource after that.

1 We tried it once on North end of canyon on Saturday 11/10, for Arthur to get back in after 1/11/2019 7:23 AM
purchasing more batteries in the Valley; would not let in, so he took Santa Maria Road back in.
2 My driver's license has my Topanga address, so I don't need one. 1/7/2019 6:41 AM
3 Forgot to get it! 1/6/2019 11:23 AM

4 2016 card 1/6/2019 10:11 AM

7 It's no good at check points 12/16/2018 11:18 AM
8 Driver's license with st address 12/15/2018 3:19 PM
9 Address on my license matches my home address. Have heard several anecdotes about Sheriff's 12/15/2018 3:15 PM
deputies not recognizing the access cards. Not sure that they have any value or purpose.
10 Keep my old one in my car for emergencies but usually use my CA driver's license for ID 12/3/2018 3:26 PM
11 I have a 2017 card but had not renewed for this year. 12/3/2018 1:18 AM
12 Drivers license has Topanga address 12/2/2018 3:47 PM
13 We ordered and paid for our 2018 cards at the beginning of the year but have not yet received 12/1/2018 1:40 PM
them.
14 Mine has expired. 12/1/2018 1:05 PM

15 why? my address is on my drivers license 12/1/2018 12:52 PM
16 I have an actual card from 2013. I am happy to pay an annual fee but not get a new photo and card 12/1/2018 12:48 PM
each year. How about a year sticker by mail like DMV car license plates? I think this would lead to
higher participation (more contributions)
17 I have one from 2017. Never got it updated 12/1/2018 11:23 AM
48 / 61
18 The access card doesn't get you back in if there is an evacuation. 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
19 In previous years I have found that the individuals who would allow access to Topanga to 12/1/2018 10:10 AM
residents were not familiar with the zones or the access cards
20 I find it strange that there are never access cards available with the current date. I always renew 12/1/2018 8:56 AM
and my most recent one was dated 2016. Why can't they be kept up to date? I don't know if my
2016 card would have been honored.
21 Seems useless. Once How many tiny sheriffs open the roads it was for everyone. We didn’t need 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
to show ID.
22 Sheriff's department doesn't check them anyway 12/1/2018 8:28 AM
23 Never heard of this. (We just moved here). 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
24 Forgot to replace my 2017 cards! Now waiting for the 2019 cards 12/1/2018 8:27 AM

it so they are good every year, period!!!!!!!!!
26 Residents were not being allowed back in so I won' t be getting another one 12/1/2018 6:02 AM

30 2016 11/30/2018 9:08 PM

31 Useless in this event, useless in EVERY event during last 25 yrs of my residency. I understand the 11/30/2018 8:49 PM
THEORY. In practice - clearly useless!
32 The access card is simply a fundraising ploy. If you have a Topanga address on your driver's 11/30/2018 8:34 PM
license, you don't need anything else.
33 it's not necessary and seems like a scam to make money. the sheriff's deputies and CHP have no 11/30/2018 8:02 PM
regard for those. a regular ID will work. law enforcement was letting gardeners and employees
enter the evac zone without resident ID. so there's no point to the "access card". seemed like it
could be a good idea back when they started doing it but we've never had them and have never
needed them.
34 I have ID that shows my address, and I know several back roads into the Cyn. If I can’t use them 11/30/2018 6:47 PM
by car, I use the trailson a mountain bike.
35 I sure want one now 11/30/2018 6:41 PM

36 ...but I'll get one for 2019 11/30/2018 6:32 PM
37 I have had them in the past, but the benefits are not clear. 11/30/2018 6:24 PM
38 Seems that they are not effective for anything. Again was told by a friend who had one the sheriffs 11/30/2018 6:11 PM
basically laughed at it.
39 We would not have been allowed to return with or without the card in any case... 11/30/2018 5:55 PM
40 I paid for it - never got it 11/30/2018 5:53 PM

1 On Thursday I wanted to figure out when Pierce would be open for large animals.... couldn't find 1/6/2019 11:23 AM
anything so I called Lost Hills Sheriff and they were very helpful.
2 Double-checked how to leave access to our home for firefighters as we left. Lights on, door 12/3/2018 3:26 PM
unlocked, etc.
3 It is packed with my supplies that I take in case of evacuation 12/2/2018 9:28 PM
4 I know the guide pretty well 12/1/2018 11:03 AM

5 But I have been reviewing it after we returned from the fire. 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
6 I took my zone map when I evacuated so that, if necessary, I could show it to an officer when I 12/1/2018 10:10 AM
returned
7 We have developed our own preparedness and evacuation plan over the past 40 years living here 12/1/2018 8:48 AM
based on the Survival Guide and previous experiences with fires & floods.
8 Couldn't access home. 12/1/2018 8:27 AM

9 We have emergency lists and also suitcases packed for a quick exit and it's good to leave when it's 12/1/2018 7:57 AM
voluntary so you don't have to rush like crazy.

11 No sorry. but I've been through a lot of fires and was raised in canyon by a LA county Fire Chief. I 12/1/2018 12:47 AM
have looked through it at other times. And I went to the recent T-Cep meeting.
12 I looked at it again briefly but found nothing helpful there 11/30/2018 6:11 PM
13 But I have looked at it extensively before the fire. 11/30/2018 5:55 PM

Q23 Please share any additional comments or concerns that you may
have regarding the Woolsey Fire:
# RESPONSES DATE
1 #1 problem: power shutoff before evacuation orders which we could only learn about on car and 1/11/2019 7:23 AM
battery operated radio.
2 I was very angry that they wouldn't let us return home when the Santa Ana winds were obviously 1/7/2019 6:41 AM
blowing the other way, and next time I will be checking weather reports myself to assess wind
direction, and I may not evacuate. Looking into buying a generator.
3 Very concerned about power outage at a time when critical information was needed. 1/6/2019 12:36 PM
4 This is Beth Burnam. I live on Santa Maria Rd. The traffic flow into the Canyon via Santa Maria Rd 1/6/2019 11:23 AM
was none stop. Even though I used it for access, I feel that if the Canyon is under evacuation
orders, ALL entries should be closed.
5 When the evac was lifted, residents, should have only been allowed in first to secure there 1/6/2019 11:21 AM
property... We ended up running around going to all your friends and neighbors house to make
sure they were secure. I did not think it was well thought out to open the canyon to everyone at the
same time.
6 It was very scary having no electric and no phones. Throughout notifications were sparce. It was 1/6/2019 10:11 AM
very frustrating. NO communications was the worst part.
7 i shut off my fios landline after the evacuation as it was useless in a true emergency 1/4/2019 10:32 AM
8 Police did not monitor all roads into the canyon. People were going in & out. That means that 12/17/2018 5:20 PM
burglars could also do so.
9 refill water tanks and road control are big issues for me 12/17/2018 8:35 AM
10 The communication with the sheriffs was really bad.one sheriff told me my neighborhood was on 12/16/2018 11:18 AM
fire,not.then I was allowed in to Malibu,but not Topanga .the fire was in malibu.the whole week,I
never saw one fire truck,never saw fire.i have lived in to panga for 30 years and this was a very
bad on logistics
11 The lifting of the evacuation was completely botched and the FD/Sheriff lost a lot of credibility. 12/15/2018 3:15 PM
12 We need an additional emergency system like sirens for the canyon. 12/12/2018 8:19 AM
13 Because I was so involved, I used first responder feeds and kept up with individual city feeds as 12/11/2018 9:44 AM
well. As Topanga was not in the direct path, I followed but focused on the Calabasas / Malibu
corridor. I thought Topanga evacuated when is should have, and was opend when it should have
bee. Outr concerns at that time was to not be a concern for the first responders - it was time for us
to step back and let them deal with those who needed them most. Selfishness has no place in a
disaster like this. All the shelters functioned very well, and post fire, SCE put a massive amount of
crews to work putting in over 1350 new poles, stringing new fire resistant main lines and getting
Tap lines going in neighborhoods. The biggest takeway is we need to rethink our reliance on Cel
phones- clearly we never factored in the power factor and our over reliance on them- I can't tell
you how many people I had to tell about KNX... is was shocking- and remind them they had a car
radio, even possibly a land line, where they could call a friend and ask them to call with updates-
This was true all over the burn zone. We need to focus on back up power supplies in central
locations that are also last resort safety zones.
14 1. How to survive on our own when no first responders are available. 2. Complacency: If you didn't 12/5/2018 12:47 PM
know better, you would never think there was a wildfire threatening Topanga; the sky was clear,
no presence of smoke.
15 Would be wonderful if County could hire additional call firefighters and fill all three of the full time 12/5/2018 11:44 AM
fire captain positions. Also, can someone else besides the firefighters do the brush clearance
inspections? Firefighters are more suited to carrying hoses, shovels and smiles than clipboards
and citation notices.
56 / 61
16 why do the cell towers not have back up solar generators? 12/4/2018 7:11 PM
17 I felt that some of the news sources were over exaggerating things and this made people feel 12/4/2018 1:37 PM
insecure and nervous.
18 I think the old-fashioned air-raid siren would be helpful to warn people to get out right away, in 12/3/2018 3:26 PM
addition to the other methods being used currently. Sirens work without phone lines and will even
wake people up in the middle of the night.
19 I expected more information to be disseminated by T-CEP as has been the case in the past. 12/3/2018 1:20 PM
20 It really scared us in terms of not being able to communicate because cell and internet were down 12/3/2018 11:47 AM
and also in terms of had everyone had to evacuate at once.... would what happened in Paradise
happen here??
21 Inability to have cell phones work and get info was the only strong weakness in the system for this 12/3/2018 9:44 AM
fire. Had it been faster moving and heading into Topanga, many would have not known. All cell
towers should have battrey or generator back up for emergencies
22 I was concerned/curious about how many neighbors didn't leave, even with the mandatory evac 12/3/2018 9:40 AM
order. I worry that if a fire progresses & they suddenly want to leave, it could block roadways for all
concerned, including first responders.
23 It was frightening to be without power on Friday, Nov 9, and not know the latest news on the fire’s 12/3/2018 1:18 AM
progression. I appreciated that we were evacuated early in order to get us out of Topanga
BEFORE roadways could have been potentially blocked by fire. I think Topang should implement
an emergency siren system that would sound when evacuation orders have been given. I grew up
in Michigan where our annual natural disaster risk was tornadoes. The city would sound an
emergency siren when a tornado warning was in place. This would signal that it was time to take
cover in a basement or safe area.
24 I am concerned that power was out and that I was not able to receive text, cell phone or landline 12/2/2018 9:28 PM
calls to notify me of the status of the fire or evacuation orders.
25 I am grateful for all of the agencies that saved our canyon, thank you. 12/2/2018 5:20 PM
26 No cell service meant no alerts. I dont watch local news, and I wouldn't have thought to check the 12/2/2018 3:47 PM
internet (had it been on). So my issue was not getting any of the alerts until I was already
evacuating and on the PCH
27 evacuation was too long 12/2/2018 11:24 AM
28 Getting info 12/1/2018 8:31 PM

29 It was hard leaving because I was in pain from injury and if my neighbor hadn't called me I 12/1/2018 7:55 PM
wouldn't have even known to start packing. Also it was very frightening leaving with no place to go
and no way to get help.
30 Honestly something has to be done to ensure that when power is out here that we are notified thru 12/1/2018 6:34 PM
another means AND when leaving and coming back the canyon must be for residents only.
31 I have two fire pumps and 20,000 gallons of water available for fire fighting. 12/1/2018 5:04 PM
32 If time, of fire not blocking exiting, would love to have exit north one way only and south one way 12/1/2018 3:22 PM
only out of the canyon. To better assure our safety leaving.
33 I would like to have more information regarding alternative power options 12/1/2018 2:01 PM
34 We feel a deep gratitude to all the first responders and all the volunteers who worked tirelessly 12/1/2018 1:40 PM
through this event.
35 NEED TO HAVE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH ONE CENTRAL COMMAND DURING 12/1/2018 1:05 PM
OUTAGES VIA SATELLITE.
36 evacuation was arbitrary and counterproductive 12/1/2018 12:52 PM
37 When TCEP evacuated (understandably), so did reliable UPDATED information. The rabble of 12/1/2018 12:48 PM
social media remained. The precipitous full evacuation order and the overly long duration will
make our population less likely to participate next time. (Yes, I was here in November 1993. I
volunteered for Arson Watch today.)
57 / 61
38 I thought we were supposed to be evacuated by zones, and when order was lifted I thought they 12/1/2018 12:08 PM
would allow only residents back in first, prior to the public. Entire canyon was given evacuation
orders at one time and access cards were never checked to get back into the canyon.
39 I also have cell. Neither were functional. 12/1/2018 11:23 AM

40 Without power, many people went to Pine Tree Circle looking for info. The EOC wasn't yet open 12/1/2018 11:03 AM
(this was around 7:30 am) and there was lots of uncertainty. If we have a power outage again, it
would be great if TCEP or Town Council could set up an informal info booth in Pine Tree so people
could get a grip on what's going on from verified information and nip rumors in the bud.
41 need to have way more pet food on hand ... 12/1/2018 10:42 AM
42 My number one concern is that we wouldn't get an evacuation notice soon enough if at all during a 12/1/2018 10:34 AM
fast moving fire since not only power was down but also cell phones without signal and landlines
down as well.
43 We did have a copper line. We also have to hardwired phones so that we would be protected if we 12/1/2018 10:10 AM
lost power. However, that copper line was lost during the change in providers
44 Wondering why fire department does not do controled burns? Why wait until a fire had started 12/1/2018 9:39 AM
45 I wish I knew that my landline is not an actual landline and doesn’t work during power outage. I’d 12/1/2018 9:25 AM
feel much safer if I at least had that
46 I think we should all be equipped with copper landlines. My plug-in phone did not work when 12/1/2018 8:56 AM
power went out. The back-up battery for FIOS was dead.
47 Fiber land line, cell, multi-band radio. Only the radio worked, but channels Arson Watch uses were 12/1/2018 8:48 AM
unavailable due to mountain top repeaters being without power.
48 Big concern over road closures. I Understand why they called the evacuation early. After watching 12/1/2018 8:46 AM
the other fires I understand that important. However they kept our road closed far too long for
residence.Why Order unaffected areas of Malibu opened long before tapanga canyon was let in.
Bigger issue is why LA County opened the Topanga roads to general public.Many many people
leave their gates open and door is unlocked for fire department. They should let residence in first
So they can secure their property. That would make the resident card much more valuable.
49 I think Sheila Kuehl dropped the ball, and needs to hire a new field deputy for our area to keep us 12/1/2018 8:28 AM
better informed.
50 Event space 1909 hosted a large wedding despite the mandatory evac order. People stood 12/1/2018 8:28 AM
outside smoking during the reception.
51 The power outage really prevented all preparation, as well as potentially causing an accident at 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
the PCH lights that would have trapped everyone in the canyon and been catastrophic.
52 Once Topanga went onto Mandatory Evacuation and the main roads were closed by the Sheriff.... 12/1/2018 8:27 AM
ALL back routes into the canyon also needed to be closed. I live on Santa Maria Rd and there was
non-stop traffic flowing into the Canyon.
53 A complete overhaul of many of the rules about evacuation is necessary. People that want to 12/1/2018 8:13 AM
shelter in place and defend their property need to be able to leave their property and return to
defend. I had a friend who came to help me evacuate, and the sheriff's would not let him enter the
canyon, so I stayed and sheltered in place, and starved for a week because I could not leave for
supplies. THIS IS SUPER WRONG AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY, and it should be
DEATH SENTENCE for arsonists, and life in prison for looters caught in the evicted areas. Make
these changes and you really are improving the fight against firestorms. Also, mandatory brush
clearing year round! And go after the deadbeats who don't cut their mandatory brush! A little
overhaul in these archaic rules and laws about evacuation, and home defending will make a
gigantic difference in all communities that are affected by firestorm.
54 I thought that everyone did a good job. I wish that the budgets could buy more fire retardant planes 12/1/2018 7:57 AM
and water drop planes. We are short on life saving equipment I think.
58 / 61
55 Communication was the major issue. With the power outage, sources of current info were cut off. 12/1/2018 6:54 AM
Even after the power was restored, communication was very hard to access. Some system like
sirens need to be in place to alert for evacuations. In a fast moving fire, sheriffs going through the
streets is not going to be effective. The Paradise fire (even Malibu) has highlighted the need for
very clear instructions re: evacuation in the event of a rapidly moving fire. Sheriff/CHP also need to
have very clear plans for assisting evacuation (e.g., both lanes immediately dedicated to
evacuation direction, where they will be positioned to deal with traffic lights and other issues that
would impede flow. There need to be ANNUAL meetings to educate the population on all aspects
of fire control/safety. How do we best secure our home/land? How will we be informed of
evacuation (not everyone is tech savvy and may need help getting setup for announcements)?
How will we know which way to evacuate? How will traffic congestion be handled? Are there steps
to reduce congestion to facilitate rapid evacuation? What should we do if the fire advances faster
than the evacuation? ETC.
56 I wish there had been more communication or status about the threat of fire in Topanga and what 12/1/2018 6:52 AM
the prediction was as to return. I felt like there was a lot of news about Malibu - rightly so - but
there was little mention about us.i wish more of the local government were more responsive.
57 I think residents were more frustrated that there weren’t more updates throughout the evacuation 12/1/2018 6:17 AM
than that we couldn’t get back in for so long. If people hear from the authorities more often they
feel they are in the loop vs left hanging wondering,
58 The only problem we had was the sudden road closure with no announcement ( at least we didn't 12/1/2018 6:02 AM
know about it) also there is no place to take wild animals to leave them comfortably for any length
of time
59 It moved so fast. We could easily imagine Topanga could go up as quickly and the vulnerability to 12/1/2018 4:29 AM
being trapped like they were in Paradise. The first thing they need to do is cut out non local traffic -
anytime there is a fire close to us. Our communication didn’t work and there is no amplified
alarm/local cel system in every neighborhood!? The critical emergency info should be on a single
sheet that can be a fridge magnet. Let’s buy walkie talkies, backup batteries etc in bulk. And most
important we need to create fire breaks around every neighborhood esp those abutting wild land.
60 0 12/1/2018 1:50 AM
61 For #22 I have a cell, Fiber Optic FIOS, but I have my plug in copper line as well just not the 12/1/2018 12:47 AM
phone I would need for it currently. I am also interested in doing radio - ham
62 I found it frustratifg that many people did not evacuate or snuck back in early. I believe it is 11/30/2018 11:46 PM
importasnt to follow the experts orders.
63 I think when power goes out in red flag weather that should signal a mandatory evacuation. It was 11/30/2018 10:40 PM
scary not being able to contact my daughter to tell her to leave.
64 None 11/30/2018 10:36 PM
65 I would be less likely to evacuate next time. It seemed like the little boy who cried "wolf." 11/30/2018 10:13 PM
66 I was incredulous that Topanga was closed as long as it was. It made no sense. I honestly think 11/30/2018 9:34 PM
something fishy was going on because it flew in the face of all logic how long we were kept out. It
was tremendously difficult and disruptive. I feel the decision was made cavalierly without taking
into account the difficulty of evacuation.
67 People within the canyon had no power. the landlines and cell phones were not operative. TV and 11/30/2018 9:32 PM
radio were not functional. Why weren't there police loudspeaker announcements in the
neighborhoods of the evacuations in real time not days later.
68 It is obvious that our power was cut off intentionally without regard for the communication needs of 11/30/2018 9:28 PM
the canyon. As usual, because we have no elected officials the county can do what it wants with
us. Same thing with the road closure... TCB was closed for the benefit of emergency vehicles, it's
their favorite route from the valley to PCH, I get that. But there could have been an emergency
lane set up, especially after the wind shifted on Wednesday. We are easy to step on, there's no
one representing us in an official capacity.
69 NA 11/30/2018 9:08 PM
70 Losing power shows how dangerous our situation is in the canyon. There must be a better warning 11/30/2018 8:54 PM
system if SCE is going to cut our power and internet companies are useless
71 Because I had no communication devices when I left my home I would not have known where to 11/30/2018 8:51 PM
go if I hadn't had a friends address.
59 / 61
72 TCEP needs to prioritize info updating on their website. NOTHING else they do is as important to 11/30/2018 8:49 PM
the community, and that is not in evidence in their policies and procedures, nor in their activities
and budget priorities. TCEP has to figure out a way to synthesize credible crowd sourced info from
Next Door. Official info lags. Just saying "We only report Official Info" makes TCEP less useful by
a margin.
73 I’m very concerned because all media outlets including T-CEP say to check their Twitter or 11/30/2018 8:37 PM
websites and you can’t if you don’t have his cell phone, phone, or Internet service.
74 I feel that TCEP is outdated and unnecessary in the age of timely internet communication and 11/30/2018 8:34 PM
social media availability. No additional value to the community is provided by this organization.
75 Very concerned about the absence of cell service. I plan to have a landline installed which would 11/30/2018 8:15 PM
not be affected by a power outage. I think everyone should have a battery operated radio at the
very least. I am VERY upset about the individuals who who ignored the mandatory evacuation
orders. Most of them Topanga residents who have been through many fires and seem clueless
about the dangers of today's wind driven wildfires in current drought conditions. Evidence of the
danger of these kinds of fires is clear all over California. Why would anyone think Topanga would
be an exception. I also think persons that ignore mandatory evacuation orders put first responders,
fire and police officials in danger and could potentially cause chaos and unnecessary danger to
themselves and their rescuers.
76 LA County's site was almost as unreliable as TCEPs... the information was not updated. Topanga 11/30/2018 8:02 PM
wasn't even on their list of evac areas until a few days into the evac so it really came across as an
afterthought. law enforcement came through the neighborhood and even though they were doing
their mandated announcements, even they were saying there's no smoke coming this way, but
hey, we have to tell you to go since we were told to tell you to go. not utilizing the zones for
evacuation made TCEP and Topanga's zones seem all the more useless. evacuating all of
Topanga canyon seemed like an overreaction and pointless for many many people. some areas of
the canyon may have been reasonable to evacuate but NOT all of them. evacuating topanga
residents down onto PCH when Malibu residents REALLY did need to evacuate was a big
mistake. and seems like proper emergency planning could and oversight could have easily kept
that from happening. it seemed like throughout the entire event - that LA County didn't really know
what was going on. Their website was rarely up to date. there was no information from supervisor
kuehl's office - and receiving her newsletters right after and in quick succession just seemed
ridiculous and pandering. Edison's power failure seemed suspiciously like a deliberate shut off with
no warning to residents. LA County administrators need to do a way better job handling
emergency response and planning/coordination, etc. We hope the county learns from this event
and experience and can come up with some applicable improvements for the next time we go
through this. Next time is a matter of WHEN... not IF. And we will need much better performance of
emergency procedures, planning, administration, etc. if we hope to make it through a big fire that
actually makes it to Topanga Canyon. Additionally - County or whoever the enforcing agency is
NEEDS to REQUIRE private property owners to CLEAR THEIR LAND BEFORE it contributes to a
devastating firestorm that wipes out the Topanga Canyon Community. Additionally - MRCA or the
parks or WHOEVER adminsters the brush covered ridges to the NORTH and NORTH EAST of
Topanga Canyon NEEDS TO CLEAR THAT LAND - again... BEFORE it is TOO LATE.
Enforcement of BRUSH CLEARANCE/FUEL MOD is CRUCIAL. thank you for consideration of
these comments.
77 Communication is even more critical in explosive fires we have now but we are more vulnerable 11/30/2018 7:55 PM
than we were in the past. This makes no sense!
78 hrhf 11/30/2018 7:52 PM
79 Just making sure cell phones work when the power goes out! Thanks for everything. 11/30/2018 7:08 PM
80 1. I have a heightened awareness of the amount of brush and flammable trees that remain in 11/30/2018 6:52 PM
Topanga. I cleared and cleared my property. Then I drove down my road under a canopy of
eucalyptus and pine trees. I wish we could mandate more strict landscape regulations. 2. I would
like more pressure put on Cell Service Providers to require them to bring cell service to Topanga.
That would help solve the communication problems. 3. I would like more pressure put on Frontier
to maintain "functioning" copper phone lines for everyone. 4. I would like to volunteer: a) to help
put this all together and b) other ways I may help out.
81 Residents should have bicycles ready for evacuation, asit’s downhill all the way to the coast, and 11/30/2018 6:47 PM
you go around the car traffic jams.
60 / 61
82 The horse situation. The horse community were, as usual, an amazing citizen brigade. Public 11/30/2018 6:41 PM
officials were useless. And...as I said, haulers were denied access to the canyon to pick up
horses, which delayed our departure by a day.
83 Power outages prevent most residents from receiving alerts! We need an emergency alert siren 11/30/2018 6:32 PM
(with back-up power) that can be heard throughout Topanga.
84 I am very grateful for the volunteer system that we have, for my neighbors, and for all the first 11/30/2018 6:24 PM
responders and other personnel on the fire front.
85 I am not comfortable only relying on Fios. The lack of a communication system in a crisis is not 11/30/2018 6:19 PM
safe.
86 Terrible reporting of Topanga news and concerns. Difficulty getting updates 11/30/2018 6:13 PM
87 A general loud alarm would be helpful if controlled by the local fire department 11/30/2018 6:11 PM
88 Need copper landline reinstated. Better information on the radio. AM radio is the most reliable 11/30/2018 6:02 PM
source. Notices from Gov. agencies don't get through when the power goes out or if it's shut off.
No land line phone, no cell phone (no reception at my house), no internet. Only AM radio.
89 TCEP did an outstanding job keeping up the website. Heaven help us if we have a major fire 11/30/2018 6:01 PM
through the Canyon. We must be able to communicate during a disaster. Plus, we must be able to
evacuate quickly and safely.
90 I could not get the Internet on my Verizon cell phone except for Verizon 3GL with T-CEP.org .... I 11/30/2018 5:57 PM
don’t understand why... but I did...
91 I would suggest that people (if they have internet) monitor www.69bravo.com it is a 360 degree 11/30/2018 5:55 PM
view from high above Saddle peak road it can help if conditions are right. I think something must
be done to enforce: A. no smoking in the canyon on the roads and at parking spots. B. In the event
of a fire on the order of Woolsey coming into the canyon, there is no way we could all leave when
the events may warrant. I do not know what to do. I wish I had a good suggestion. The roads
would instantly gridlock. Even during the "orderly" evacuation the blvd. was bumper to bumper for
long stretches. In an emergency evacuation, there is no way the roads would work. It's the reality
of how our roads are constructed and the way people without garages or with multiple cars, park
on the road. Thanks for the survey.
92 We need a better way to keep cell phones/Inter net running - and phone tree... 11/30/2018 5:53 PM
93 Communications being down during a major event is terrifying 11/30/2018 5:52 PM
94 Repopulating info was very confusing. And where were my elected officials? Never heard from 11/30/2018 5:47 PM
them.
95 My biggest concern is that there is no backup power for cell towers in the canyon. This is 11/30/2018 5:45 PM
completely unacceptable. In a town where evacuation texts and calls are going to be the fastest
way to get info to people, not having cell service is incredibly dangerous.
96 There are communities outside of the canyon that were affected by the fires and evacuation orders 11/30/2018 5:37 PM
and the residents had no idea where to go or what to check for updates. It would be great if more
people were given the Topanga Survival Guide, like in Woodland Crest or Woodland Hills Mobile
Estates.
