Getty Center, Villa Remain “Safe And Stable” As Some Evacuation Levels Downgraded

deadline.com:

The renowned Getty Center and Getty Villa remain “safe and stable,” according to Katherine E. Fleming, president and chief executive officer of the J.

Paul Getty Trust, as the surrounding evacuation orders related to the Palisades Fire have been downgraded to warnings. “The evacuation level at the center has been reduced to Level 2, ‘get ready’ as opposed to ‘go,’ and we have been told the winds have shifted away from the site, but the situation remains highly fluid,” Fleming said in a statement issued shortly after 6 p.m.

This news comes after the latest update yesterday, where officials with the J. Paul Getty Trust said the Center near Brentwood and Villa in the Pacific Palisades both remained intact amid the wildfires. “It was a watchful but fortunately uneventful night up here at the Getty Center.

We’ve been told to anticipate stronger winds later in the day and are closely monitoring the situation. Our galleries are safe and protected.
