UCLA administrators have published an online directory of resources for Bruins who have been affected by the Southern California wildfires. The webpage also includes links to organizations accepting donations in the wake of the fires.

The spreadsheet, available here, includes tabs with information for evacuees about housing and hotel options, food distributions sites, transportation and financial assistance. And for people who are seeking to donate to help victims of the fires, the document also includes links to campus centers and off-campus nonprofits and community organizations accepting donations. (To toggle between pages of the spreadsheet, use the small tabs at the bottom of the browser window.)

During a campuswide town hall Zoom meeting Jan. 16, administrators urged students to ensure their contact information – including physical address, email and phone number – is up to date in the registrar’s office files. Doing so will help ensure that students receive timely notifications through the BruinAlert system. Students should visit this page and click the My Contact Information link to update their information.

UCLA Newsroom is also regularly updating information about on- and off-campus resources, as well as maintaining a page with information about emergency procedures and campus operations FAQs.
