On Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 10:19am, UCLA is participating in the California Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill, along with 10.1 million other Californians. You are encouraged to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” for one minute.

In the event of an actual emergency, you would be instructed to go to this emergency website, Bruins Safe Online, at https://www.bso.ucla.edu.  The UCLA Emergency Hotline at 1-800-900-UCLA may also be activated in the event of an actual emergency.

We encourage you to download the Bruins Safe application for additional emergency information and resources. You can download the application from the UCLA App Store, or the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

For more information about the UCLA Office of Emergency Management, please visit https://www.oem.ucla.edu.  We’re also on social media including BruinALERT Twitter/X (@UCLABruinAlert), or for general emergency preparedness and safety information, you can follow UCLA Environment Health & Safety on Facebook and Twitter/X (@uclaehs).  Thank you for your partnership.

Based on extensive discussions with our campus response teams regarding current information and weather predictions associated with Tropical Storm Hilary, campus will remain open tomorrow, Aug. 21. Classes will occur as usual. However, we recognize that employees travel to work from all over the Los Angeles basin and therefore we support managers and supervisors to allow flexibility for employees who may have more difficulty getting to work tomorrow and need to work remotely, if doing so meets departmental needs.
