• Do not panic if you cannot reach your child. Following a large-scale emergency, cell phones do not usually work.
• Use resources made available by UCR in order to obtain new, up-to-date, information.
  This will include the UCR Police Facebook page, UCRSAFE app or text UCRPARENT to 67283.
• Unless directed to do so, do not come to campus during an emergency as additional individuals and traffic on campus will inhibit response efforts.
