On Monday, June 15 2026 from approximately 7:00 to 8:00 a.m., Berkeley Lab Emergency Management and Information Technology will be conducting a brief test of the Public Address capability of lab desk-phones in Zones 1, 2, and 4.
During this test, if you have a desk-phone and work in one of the above Zones you may hear a text-to-speech voice announcement coming from the speakerphone of your desk phone. The announcement will state this is a test and the message may repeat. No action is required in response to this test.

This test is part of an initiative to improve the preparedness of the Lab by expanding the ways we can send critical alert and warning information in an emergency. If you have any questions about the test, please email the Office of Emergency Management at emergencymanagement@lbl.gov.
