August 30 Briefs Excerpts: 

Security to Test Jefferson Lab’s Active Threat Alert Notification System on Aug. 31 
At 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 31, Security personnel will conduct a test of Jefferson Lab’s Active Threat Alert Notification System. Like the Site-Wide-Alert System, the test message will be sent over the lab’s email, pagers/text and on the Cisco phone digital screens. No response will be expected, as this is only an operational test of the system. For more information about the test and steps you may need to take in the event of an actual active threat alert, see the full memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/security-test-jefferson-lab%E2%80%99s-active-threat-alert-notification-system-aug-31 

Shoreline Industries Earns Small Business Award 
JSA presented its fiscal year 2016 small business award to a small construction services firm from Hampton Roads. Shoreline Industries has been a subcontractor at Jefferson Lab for more than 20 years and has successfully completed a large number of projects for the lab. Read more here. 

Jefferson Lab to Test Tornado Warning Siren at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 1 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 1. Don't respond to the siren; this is a test of the siren system and not a personnel response exercise. If this test were an actual Tornado Warning, the SWA system messages and siren would direct you to take cover immediately in a Severe Wind Take Cover area.
