This website was created as part of Berkeley Lab's emergency response plan for local and regional disasters. In the event of any disruption of services, this site will provide a means for Lab employees to communicate with each other and stay informed on the status of lab operations. Internet requests for www.lbl.gov will automatically redirect to this site if an emergency plan has been put into effect. The site can also be used by customers and lab employees who are having difficulty connecting to lab services to verify that no disruption has taken place and all services are available. The Emergency Status Information Line is: 1-800-445-5830. 19 November 2018, 4:00 PMWe are continuing to monitor the air quality in the region. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has issued an advisory through Tuesday, Nov. 20 due to smoke from the fire in Butte County. Air quality has improved since last week. The weather forecast predicts we will have rain by mid-week. The Lab will continue normal operations on Tuesday, and we will continue to monitor air quality conditions.
Please keep the following options in mind to minimize the impact of smoke: ● Talk with your supervisor about alternate work options if you have concerns about the air quality at your work location. ● The Lab’s Health Services in Building 26 is available for consultation. No appointment is needed. ● We have internal air quality monitors located at five of our buildings to get representative air data so we can understand what is happening across the hill. This data will be used in planning for similar situations in the future. You can access the monitoring information at www.purpleair.com. ● Protective measures, such as wearing a mask, are an individual choice. Consult with your personal health provider for more information if you have existing health issues. If you choose a mask, read more about masks and how to use them.
