Emergency Preparedness

Dear Members of the UCLA Community:

We are in a period of heightened concern about security across our nation. I want you to know that we are taking every reasonable precaution to ensure the well-being of our campus community.

UCLA has had well-established emergency preparedness procedures since before the September 11 attacks. Following 9/11, we have taken many steps to strengthen our emergency systems. New measures include increased speed and reach of our emergency communications system, protocols for the handling of suspicious mail and substances, and emergency drills held in partnership with law enforcement and other authorities.

Communication is a vital part of emergency planning, and we work closely with state, local, and federal officials to ensure that our information is accurate and timely. It is equally important for us to communicate with members of the campus community as effectively as possible.

Recently, we sent a campuswide email announcing the implementation of UCLA’s new Emergency Email Notification System. That email also described other ways in which emergency information can be acquired:

• Call UCLA's emergency hotline: 1-800-900-UCLA, which provides recorded information;

• Tune in to Radio 810 AM, which broadcasts on campus and within a small radius of the campus, during daylight hours only;

• Tune in to UCLA Channel 3, available only through the on-campus cable TV;

• Visit the UCLA homepage at www.ucla.edu for updated announcements;

• Stay alert for specific instructions from the leadership of your respective school, department, or campus unit;

• If you are not on campus, you may be able to obtain important, UCLA-specific updates by checking major Los Angeles television and radio outlets.

Just as our nation’s leaders have instructed all citizens, we, too, urge you to remain aware of your surroundings. In addition, we recommend that any suspicious activity or objects be reported to the UCLA Police Department at (310) 825-1491, and that you call 911 in an emergency.

Sincerely,

Albert Carnesale
Chancellor
