The air quality at UCLA is listed as “moderate” as of 8 a.m. Saturday, according to UCLA’s air quality website. Although there are currently no evacuation warnings or orders for the UCLA campus, campus operations are listed as “modified,” according to the Bruins Safe Online website. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health previously declared a public health emergency across the county.

“The fires, coupled with strong winds, have severely degraded air quality by releasing hazardous smoke and particulate matter, posing immediate and long-term risks to public health,” the department said in a Friday press release.
