Emergency Preparedness The following are various measures of preparedness that will assist you and your loved ones in cases of emergency.DISASTERIn the event of a disaster, prepare to be self-sufficient. During the first few hours or days following a disaster, essential services may not be available. Minimally, you should have a 72-hour emergency kit at home, at work, and even a few items in your car
Your 72-hour Kit Your 72-hour family preparedness kit may include:
Items for a family preparedness kit can be placed possibly in a 30-gallon garbage container with wheels for easy evacuation, if necessary. Medicine, some food, and personal items may be placed in each individual backpack. Rotate your food supply on a regular basis. Items that can help for stress management may include soft small toys for children, board games for youth, and books or a musical instrument for anyone including adults. Be sure to pack food items that are favorites of members of the family. Your vehicle should have survival items such as: a comfortable set of clothes, a set of sturdy walking shoes, an emergency blanket, warm clothing, a flashlight, batteries and water.

TERRORISM SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY A person’s behavior, NOT his/her appearance, makes them a suspect of criminal or terrorist activities. Be aware of suspicious or unusual behavior.

If you see or hear suspicious activity on campus, please call the UCSD Police Department at (858) 534-4357. Additionally, you may also provide information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, (866) 483-5137, or visit their website: www.ifccfbi.gov.
