Berkeley Lab SIteS Status
Lab Emergency Exercise on Friday, Sept. 16
The Lab is holding its annual emergency exercise on Friday, Sept. 16, from 8 a.m. until approximately 1 p.m. The drill scenario is a wildfire that originates in the Berkeley hills and moves quickly toward the Lab due to the weather conditions presented in the scenario.
As part of the exercise, the Lab will send several emergency messages through LabAlert. All messages will begin with EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE, followed by information. Even though it is a test, it is important that you respond as if it is a real emergency to test the Lab’s communication capabilities. As an incentive, all respondents to the initial LabAlert message will be placed in a random drawing for two emergency preparedness kits.
Please drive carefully on Friday and watch for emergency vehicles from community partner agencies that are participating in the drill.
