Sheltering in Place UCSB - Shelter in Place

‘Shelter‐in‐place’ means seeking immediate shelter inside a building. This action may be taken during a release of chemical, biological or radiological contaminants into the environment in such a quantity and/or proximity to a location that it is safer to remain indoors rather than to evacuate. (Note: At UCSB, a shelter order during a pandemic is referred to as a "lockdown".)

See page 5 of the UCSB Emergency Flipchart for guidance.  (Spanish Version)

The UC-Santa Barbara Edible Campus Program aims to address local food insecurity by repurposing underutilized spaces for sustainable food production, turning waste into food, and engaging students as growers and producers. We train students in practices that address social, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainability and help them to reclaim their personal connection to the land and their food.
