UCLA’s campus is open, and the Red Flag warnings were lifted. This means that our campus status has returned to normal operations.
We are thankful that UCLA’s campus never fell under evacuation warnings or orders, but this has been a difficult and devastating time for our entire campus community.
UCLA resources
Many students, faculty and employees were affected by evacuation orders, and some are now struggling with loss and displacement. UCLA has several resources available to help.
Economic Crisis Response Team. Students who have been displaced by evacuation orders or whose homes have been lost should contact UCLA’s Economic Crisis Response Team at ecr@saonet.ucla.edu. The team will work with students to provide resources, including arranging immediate emergency housing, assisting with transitioning to permanent university-owned housing, providing food vouchers and exploring additional financial assistance options. Please also see the Student in Crisis website.
Basic Needs UCLA. Support for housing, food, and other essentials is available to you. Visit Basic Needs at the Student Activities Center or call 310-825-5969 for assistance. Students needing immediate assistance can also complete an intake form. Learn more about our offerings at Basic Needs UCLA.
Financial aid. If your family’s ability to contribute towards your educational costs has been impacted and you would like to speak with a financial aid counselor about how financial aid can help, please contact us using the MyUCLA Message Center or call Financial Aid and Scholarships at 310-206-0400.
Student Legal Services. Student Legal Services is available to offer legal advice on contract review, filing insurance claims, landlord/tenant disputes, and many more. Please reach out to the office at 310-825-9894 or SLegal@saonet.ucla.edu to meet with one of our attorneys.
Master inventory: L.A. wildfires. UCLA has created a master list of resources for wildfire evacuees that includes information on housing and shelter, food distribution, clothing donation, financial assistance and other important topics throughout the Los Angeles region.
Bruin Wildfire Relief Funds. UCLA has launched the Bruin Wildfire Relief Funds — including a specific fund for students — to provide a broad array of support, including emergency housing, meal vouchers and other help.
This disaster has touched everyone in our campus community. Please know that we are here to support you. The UCLA Staff and Faculty Counseling Center has put together a wildfire resources guide (PDF) that includes information on accessing both federal and state disaster assistance, coping with trauma, and other important topics.
EOC continuing to monitor wildfires
The Emergency Operations Center will continue to monitor the wildfires in and around southern California. We will continue to provide regular updates through the BruinALERT system and Bruins Safe Online. Members of the campus community can send queries about campus fire issues and preparedness to wildfirerelief@ucla.edu. You can also view messages about the wildfires from the Chancellor.
For general campus safety updates, we also invite the campus community to follow the UCLA Police Department on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and X. Visit the OEM website to learn more about Campus Safety Resources..
