Shelters available for affected communities
The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services is coordinating with local agencies to open emergency shelters and provide essential services, serving those who live in areas that have been devastated by the wildfires. While UCLA’s campus is not under an evacuation warning, some in our Bruin community have been grievously affected by these wildfires, and are suffering loss and displacement.
One of the centers serving these communities is the Westwood Recreation Center near campus. Find a complete list of shelters open now at this link: Cal OES News
UCLA is also providing housing for employees who have lost their homes to the fires. Please reach out to uclahousing@housing.ucla.edu to learn more. Read more about resources in this message to employees.
