·         On the Malibu campus, call the Department of Public Safety at (310) 506-4441.

 

·         At all other California campuses, call 911. Then call the Department of Public Safety at (310) 506-4442.

 

·         Give your name and the location of the fire. Do not hang up until the dispatcher tells you to do so.

 

·         If you are outdoors, seek shelter in a safe nearby building.

 

·         If you are indoors, close all windows and doors; open all curtains and blinds. Relocate all combustibles away from windows. If time permits, back up important files from your computer hard drive to a disk that you can take with you. Turn off and unplug all electrical equipment.

 

·         If the fire is large, you may be instructed at the Malibu campus to proceed to a designated relocation area (typically Tyler Campus Center).  At the relocation area, report to your RA or your Residential Emergency Response Team (RERT) member.

 

·         Because of road closures, traffic congestion, and the possibility that the fire may outrun you, it is normally not advisable to leave the Malibu campus during a brush fire. This is referred to as “sheltering-in-place.” For more information on “sheltering-in-place” please see the Shelter-in-Place section in this manual.

 

·         If instructed to relocate, do not return to the vacated location until instructed to do so by Public Safety or public agency personnel.
