Campus Safety
CalArts is committed to supporting the welfare of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Preparing a campus crisis/emergency response plan and allocating resources to respond to possible emergencies is one way in which the Institute offers this support.
The Emergency Operations Plan is designed to maximize human survival and preservation of property, minimize danger, restore normal operations of the Institute, and assure responsive communications with the community, surrounding neighborhoods, and interested parties.
The plan is set in operation whenever a natural or induced emergency affecting the Institute reaches proportions that cannot be handled by established measures. A crisis may be sudden and unforeseen, or there may be varying periods of warning. This plan is intended to be sufficiently flexible to accommodate contingencies of all types, magnitudes, and duration.
The prime responsibility of the plan is to the Institute community (CalArts’ main campus and satellite locations) for which it is designed. The intent is for the plan to be viewed as a tool to accomplish the above-stated purpose with a minimum of confusion and wasted effort.
Additional safety plans and procedures can be accessed by current students on the Hub
