The Lab hillsides are stabilized, but with the recent rains, and more to come, hills become more prone to slides. You can help by staying alert for new cracks or bulges in the ground or street, soil moving away from foundations, and newly sunken roads. Dial x6999 to report any sightings. https://drive.google.com/a/lbl.gov/file/d/1RIyw94hWx7I48n9M7BtvDdIjMSS3E6YT/view?usp=sharing

It’s no secret that parking on the hill is tough, and as we continue to grow with new opportunities for scientific and infrastructure development, it’s going to get tougher. While that growth is exciting, it also means more construction, people, and vehicles.

During prolonged rain, the greatest hazards at the Lab comes from landslides, fallen trees and power lines, power outages, and minor flooding. The Lab has a Storm Response Team that has a plan for potential storm impacts at the Lab. https://stratcomm-elements.lbl.gov/2019/01/09/storm-watch/
The Lab is increasing the number of shuttle routes as part of an effort to make a connection with public transportation options and reduce our carbon footprint.
