- Check with your workplace if you’re still expected to report to work. If so, confirm your route to avoid dangerous areas, and allow plenty of time for travel.
- If you are in a threatened area and need to stay home from work to be prepared, notify your direct supervisor as soon as possible.
- If you are working and conditions seem unsafe, report this directly to your supervisor and Production personnel. If things continue to worsen, call the studio safety hotline (see below or download PDF), or the IATSE Safety Hotline (844- IA AWARE, 844-422-9273).
- Send a message to your Local’s business office after you have reported the danger to the studio or IATSE to let us know.
