Emergency Resources from UC Benefits Providers


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>, UC PPO Plans So Cal Fire Emergency Resources<https://documents.ucr.edu/HR-Benefits/benefits-UCPPO-Plans-SoCal-Fire-Emergency-Resources.pdf>  and United Healthcare Support - Pacific Palisades Wildfire<https://documents.ucr.edu/HR-Benefits/benefits-United-Healthcare-Support-Pacific-Palisades-Wildfire.pdf> attached for specific resources shared by UC's benefits plans for those impacted by the Southern California fires.

Emergency resources from UC's benefits plans<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/benefits/understanding-your-benefits/details-about-your-benefits/emergency-resources-from-ucs-benefit-plans/> on UCnet<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/> provides high-level information about the support and accommodations available, from emergency supplies of essential prescriptions to access to voluntary retirement savings plan funds. The page also includes links to state and nonprofit emergency resources.

Emotional support resources are available regardless of whether retirees and emeriti are enrolled in UC benefits. In addition, Optum Behavioral Health is opening its Optum Public Crisis line for two calendar weeks, starting on January 8, 2025, to support anyone impacted. Individuals can call 1-866-447-3573, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time, or visit yousupported.com<https://yousupported.com/> for resources.
