What is LabALert?
LabAlert is the mass notification system used to notify lab employees of emergency events.
How do I add my cell phone to LabAlert?
In order to receive emergency notifications via text message or mobile phone call:
- Go to https://go.lbl.gov/labalert
- Login (if you need to) with your LBNL Username/Password.
- Click "edit" in the upper right-hand corner to add additional contact information.
LabAlert text messages will come from 89361 and phone calls will come from 510-486-6288.
Will I receive any solicitations?
No. The service you are registering for is just used for emergency notifications only. Test messages may be sent rarely. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Are there any costs?
The system is paid for and maintained by Security and Emergency Services. Your cellular phone provider may depend on your mobile plan.
What's the relationship between UCB's WarnMe service and LBNL LabAlert?
They fulfill the same function but are separate services for the two institutions. Emergency Management at LBL uses contact information from LabAlert, and UCB will uses contact information from WarnMe.
If you work on campus or are interested in getting their alerts and you have CalnetID, we encourage you to join their service too.
