UCLA Health is currently monitoring impacts related to the Skirball Fire burning in the Sepulveda Pass which is causing significant evacuations and traffic impacts in the area north of the UCLA campus.
We recognize that at both medical centers, there is a detectable smell of smoke within the hospitals. Please be assured that the hospital ventilation systems are designed to filter the air of particulates before it enters the medical centers, although a smell of smoke may remain. At this time, we encourage patients, visitors, faculty, staff and students to stay indoors and limit outdoor activity. Additional masking is not recommended inside of buildings, and likely unnecessary unless there is extended exposure outside of the building. We ask that all personnel keep perimeter doors and windows closed as much as possible. Local air quality rating at UCLA is categorized as Moderate.
All hospitals are fully operational at this time, but all afternoon clinic appointments in 100 Medical Plaza, 200 Medical Plaza and 300 Medical Plaza will be cancelled due to power outages. In addition, the UCLA Health Ventura clinic on Telephone Road is closed.
