MALIBU (CBSLA) — Mandatory evacuations were ordered for several areas of Malibu and Ventura County hit hard by the Woolsey Fire that are now in danger of mudslides.

Malibu's four public schools were also closed Tuesday.

In Ventura County, several neighborhoods were evacuated including: Bell Canyon, Oak Park (specific homes adjacent to the hillsides),
unincorporated Thousand Oaks, Sage Mountain Senior Living Facility, South Coast of Ventura County/Community of Malibu, Matilija / Wheeler Springs / North fork (extending along Oso Road) and residences east of Highway 33/Casitas Springs.

Voluntary evacuations were in effect for Ventura City and La Conchita.

Meanwhile, in Burbank, mandatory evacuations were effect for Country Club Drive above Via Montana in the La Tuna Fire burn area.

Evacuations centers were set up at the Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center, 27040 Malibu Hills Road in Agoura, and at Santa Monica High School's South Gym, 601 Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica. Large animals that need shelter will be accepted at Pierce College, 6201 Winnetka Ave., in Woodland Hills, and the Hansen Dam Equestrian Center, 11127 Orcas Avenue, in Lakeview Terrace.
