SMOG ALERT
When the Air Quality Management District notifies the CSU Long Beach campus that a smog alert is in effect for the area the following steps should be taken.
Campus Community
- Anyone observing a member of the campus community having respiratory distress should contact the University Police at 9-1-1.
University Administration / University Police
- The agency notified should contact the Office of Safety and Risk Management and report the notification.
- During a First Stage Smog Alert all vigorous and strenuous activities should be reduced or shortened.
- During a Second Stage Smog Alert all forms of vigorous activity must be discontinued or cancelled.
- During a Third Stage Smog Alert students, staff, and faculty should remain indoors and restrict movement as much as possible.
- During any smog alert try to reduce or eliminate the use of University vehicles and/or gas powered engines as much as possible.
Return to Normal Operations
If the incident has resulted in the evacuation of part or all of a campus building(s) then those areas will remain closed until the University determines:
- The area is safe to occupy
- All immediate police and rescue activity has been completed.
- Any and all investigations or repairs have been completed.
- There is no longer a need to keep the area closed.
NOTE: Some areas may remain closed longer than others.
