Berkeley Lab SIteS Status

Red Flag Warning EXTENDED TO THURSDAY MORNING


The National Weather Service has extended a Red Flag Warning through Thursday morning due to gusty winds and increasingly dry vegetation. These weather conditions are prime contributors to wildfire risk. On Tuesday and Wednesday, working away from the Lab’s hill site is highly encouraged; check with your supervisor for alternate work locations. If you see any signs of smoke or fire, call 911 and the Lab Site Operations Center at (510) 486-6999. 


On Tuesday and Wednesday, no exterior hot work is permitted at the Lab. Smokers: please be extra careful due to the danger of even one spark. You should only smoke in designated areas and ensure that all smoking material is out before disposing of it correctly in the designated containers. The gusty winds and dry vegetation mean conditions are set for the potential quick start and spread of wildfires. 

Keep yourself and your colleagues safe:
