As the Los Angeles area faces devastating fires, UCOP wants to ensure that members of the UC community know about the numerous emergency resources available<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/benefits/understanding-your-benefits/details-about-your-benefits/emergency-resources-from-ucs-benefit-plans/> to help during these times.

Please see the Resources from UC Plans<https://documents.ucr.edu/HR-Benefits/benefits-Emergency-Resources-from-UC%20Plans.pdf> and UC PPO Plans So Cal Fire Emergency Resources<https://documents.ucr.edu/HR-Benefits/benefits-UCPPO-Plans-SoCal-Fire-Emergency-Resources.pdf> attached for specific resources shared by UC's benefits plans for those impacted by the Southern California fires.
