Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne will tour the Malibu area on Monday, Jan. 14, to examine the most recent landslide research, field instruments, webcams and other tools being used by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to predict dangerous mudslides. USGS is working nonstop to provide early warning information and maps that can be used to plan evacuations that could save lives and increase public safety during winter storm and rainfall events in Southern California.
