All Classes and Chapel are Cancelled for Wednesday, January 8

Due to the ongoing fires and hazardous windstorms in Southern California, many faculty, staff, and students are affected, with some experiencing power outages and limited internet access. We are also aware that some students and employees have evacuated their homes. As a result, classes and chapel are cancelled today, January 8, 2025, and all operations will be minimal.

The Pasadena Campus has been impacted by the winds and nearby wildfires. We are working on clearing up debris and fallen trees. We are also monitoring whether the campus will be subject to evacuation orders due to a nearby wildfire. In light of this, please avoid coming to campus until we reopen.

If you are in a possible evacuation area, please be aware of the following steps:

Evacuation Preparation Steps

• Monitor Cal Fire – https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2025/1/7/eaton-fire and Watch Duty – https://app.watchduty.org/i/40388 for evacuation orders.

1. 1. Don’t rely on Campus Safety or the Fire Department to notify you if evacuation is necessary.
   2. Fuller Pasadena is in Zone PAS-Q1405 in the Cal Fire link provided above.
   3. An Evacuation Shelter has been established at the Pasadena Civic Center at 300 East Green Street, Pasadena, CA. The Humane Society is on-site to accept pets for boarding. Service animals will be allowed inside the Convention Center. For additional shelters, go to the Red Cross website.

• Prepare a To-Go Bag with the 6Ps:

1. 1. People, pets, and papers
   2. Phone numbers and important documents
   3. Prescriptions, vitamins, and eyeglasses
   4. Pictures and irreplaceable memorabilia
   5. Personal computers, hard drives, and disks
   6. “Plastic” (credit cards, ATM cards), and cash

• Check with your neighbors and help each other out.

1. 1. Some individuals may not have vehicles and need assistance with evacuating.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate this challenging situation. And please be in prayer for all our Fuller community in southern California.
