Although there is no imminent wildfire threat to the UC San Diego campus, the Emergency Operations Center is actively monitoring the situation and staying informed about weather conditions, air quality and any nearby fires. There were two small vegetation fires at Interstate 5 and Genesee, and Interstate 5 and La Jolla Village Dr. earlier today. These fires were extinguished quickly, and they posed no threat to campus. If conditions change, we will promptly notify the campus community of any necessary action to support public safety.
The UC San Diego EOC has been activated to Level 4 (Situational Awareness Safety Center staffing) to monitor Santa Ana conditions in San Diego County and the wildland fires outside of San Diego County.
UC San Diego is conducting business as usual. UC San Diego campus and UC San Diego Health System are operating normally with no disruption to classes or services.
For up-to-date information on the status of UC San Diego please go to the Current Status page.
