The Berkeley Seismological Laboratory has hooked BART into the Northern California seismic network, in an earthquake early-warning system that automatically slows trains in the event of a quake. For quakes beyond the Bay Area, BART gets advance warning, so that its trains can slow to a crawl before the ground begins to shake.
Human Resources AVC Jeanine Raymond urges campus managers and supervisors to be flexible in dealing with staffing needs in response to Thursday’s shutdown of BART service between San Francisco and the East Bay.
