Southern California Fire UpdateWhether you live 1,000 miles away and have only seen the images on television of this week's fires, or if you call Southern California home and have been personally affected, we recognize that for many of you this has been a very anxious, if not weary, week. We wanted to take this chance to affirm that the Biola University campus continues to be a considerable distance away from the fires, and business and classes have gone on as normal throughout this week. While all of Southern California is experiencing the effects of smoke and ash, we once again affirm that the Biola University Campus is not in danger. Should this situation change in the future, Biola is prepared with a Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Operations Plan, which can be viewed on the campus safety website. Please continue to pray for the families and communities who have been affected by the devastation of these fires.Blessings, Mallory Rae Service Coordinator Parent Relations Click here to read a letter to the Biola community from President Corey regarding this week's fires. |
