Emergency Notifications
LabAlert For Mobile Devices
LabAlert provides timely emergency alerts to the Lab community via email, telephone, and text message on Lab-issued or private cellular telephones.
As an employee of LBNL your work contact information is entered automatically into LabAlert. You can also receive notifications on your personal mobile device for potential laboratory closures, general emergency information, or potential impacts to the building you reside in.
Community Alerts
You can add alerts for both your work and home communities. You initially enter one address to begin the registration process. Once registered, you can click on “Locations” and add as many additional addresses (locations) as you would like at no cost.
Calling 9-1-1 From the Lab
If you call 911 from the main Lab location, the call will go to the UC Berkeley Police Department, and the appropriate emergency response -- medical, fire, or police -- will be dispatched to the Lab location.
If you call x6999 from a Lab phone, or 510-486-6999 from a mobile or non-Lab phone, the call goes to the Lab’s Security Operations Center or SOC which is staffed 24 hours a day. The call is triaged for an appropriate response.
If you are offsite, a 911 call will go to the appropriate local public safety agency. If you do call 911 from an offsite location, please follow-up with a call to 510-486-6999 to activate the Lab's emergency response system.
If you dial 911 by mistake, do not hang up. Stay on the line and let the operator know it was a misdial. If you hang up the emergency provider will call back. If you don't answer they send an emergency responder to the address to make sure there is no emergency. Stay on the line if you misdial.
If you are at a Lab offsite location, your emergency will be handled by the local jurisdiction when you dial 911. You may want to sign up for their emergency alerts so you can be informed about emergencies near to your location.
