Badges have always been a part of the Lab’s culture, going back to its earliest days when Ernest O. Lawrence needed to show his badge during World War II when entering the Lab. See how the Lab’s gates have changed over the years and how the Lab continues to prepare for emergencies. https://photostories.lbl.gov/celebrate-the-past-security-emergency-services?source=share-berkeleylab
A new red flag will fly on the Lab’s firehouse flagpole when the National Weather Service issues a red flag warning. The Lab also has fire danger indicators at the Lab’s three gates. Stay aware since the Lab is in a wildland area, including knowing the location of SAFE buildings. https://site-security.lbl.gov/resource/emergency-management-resources/safe-buildings/
The Lab’s Strawberry Gate will be open from 6 to 10 a.m. for entry for those with an active Lab badge, including bicyclists and pedestrians, beginning June 7. All others must use Blackberry Gate. Use Blackberry Gate to enter on weekends or after 10 a.m. Exit gates are Grizzly and Blackberry gates. https://site-security.lbl.gov/2021/06/02/strawberry-gate-open-beginning-june-7-from-6-to-10-a-m/
If you need to add permission to access a new area of the Lab, there is a new badge management system that allows badge-holders to accomplish this online. This is one step in a multi-step plan to improve security and safety at the Lab under development by the Security & Emergency Services Division. https://site-security.lbl.gov/service/badging-building-access/building-access/
An increase in dangerous driving on Lab property — including tailgating, passing other cars, and rolling through stop signs — is putting human and animal life in danger. Please drive safely on Lab sites, and report unsafe driving to 510-486-6999. https://site-security.lbl.gov/2021/01/23/driving-dangerously-unsafe-maneuvers-threaten-your-safety-at-the-lab/
