As many of us are aware, the uncontained wildfires in Los Angeles County have prompted mandatory evacuations and evacuation warnings in several cities.

Currently, the Orange and Rinker campuses are safe and operable, and classes are in session. There have been no major issues on either campus, and we continue to monitor the situation.

As you know, in cases of high winds, it is possible for neighborhoods to lose power. If that should happen on either of our campuses, please contact your supervisor for guidance.

For any Orange or Rinker campus individuals who are impacted by these events or who have concerns about the proximity of the fires in your personal lives, there are resources available to assist you.

  • If you need to discuss impacts on your work schedule, please contact your supervisor.
  • Chapman’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available by calling 888-293-6948.
  • For 24-hour assistance, contact Chapman Public Safety, (714) 997-6763. In an emergency, dial 9-1-1.

We hope that everyone remains safe and well.
