Campus emergency preparedness and notifications

Environmental concerns

In an emergency, including fire, call 911 or the UCPD emergency line (510) 642-3333. Resources are available to students, employees, and visitors if you have campus environmental safety concerns.

Unhoused outreach support

Situated in an urban environment, UC-Berkeley–like the City of Berkeley and our neighboring cities–is significantly impacted by high housing costs and associated homelessness. In embracing this reality, we have partnered with the city to similarly bring a care and services-first approach to supporting unhoused neighbors sleeping on and adjacent to campus.

If this is a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.

Protesting safely on campus

Free expression is encouraged but must not interfere with the University operation, teaching and other’s rights to expression and may not damage/impede University property. Campus regulations govern the time, place, and manner of public expression on University property.

Campus building and housing concerns

Facilities concerns include maintenance requests, building systems or utility shutdowns, lost keys, help with electronic access to buildings. There are different resources depending on whether your concern is about campus residences or academic/administrative buildings.
