Around 2:40 p.m., Chancellor Julio Frenk posted an Instagram video from the newly opened Disaster Recovery Center. He said UCLA will be donating this center to the City of Los Angeles and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, urging Bruins affected by the fires to use it as a resource.

“We’re still in the emergency, but we already need to start working on the recovery,” Frenk said. “Our connection to the city and the community is deep, and this space we’re donating is an example of that commitment.”
