Emergency support available from UC’s benefit plans

Dear Colleagues,

As the devastating Camp and Woolsey wildfires continue to burn in Northern and Southern California, I'd like to remind you of the support available from UC's benefit plans for those of you impacted by the fires: https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/2018/08/Emergency-support-from-UCs-benefit-plans.html.

For those who need emotional support coping with stress and loss caused by the wildfires, the ANR Academic and Staff Assistance Program Assistance program offers free, confidential resources for emotional health at (530) 752-2727 and Guilbert House at 112 A Street in Davis.

Ricky Satomi, UCCE forestry and natural resources advisor in Shasta County, with input from other UCCE forestry and natural resources advisors, has compiled resources on what to do before, during and after a fire at https://ucanr.edu/fire. You will find a tab for “Current Fire Information,” which features CalFIRE's real-time fire map, an evacuation guide and tips for what to do if you are trapped in a house or outdoors in a fire. UCCE advisor Sabrina Drill has added a page about reducing your exposure to wildfire smoke.

Our thoughts go out to all of you in the ANR community who are impacted by the fires. Let us know if there is more we can do to help.

John Fox
Executive director, Human Resources
