Emergency Information
Public InformationProcedures are in place to ensure the release of accurate information to employees and the news media and to other state and local organizations; community and tribal leaders; offices of local, state and federal elected officials; and for the coordination of this information with the Department of Energy. Inquiries?The Community Relations Office is responsible for establishing and managing the rumor control line for the public in the event of an emergency; call 665-4400 or 1-800-508-4400 for help or information. Members of the Community Relations staff will answer questions with approved information or will research an answer, as needed, through the Emergency Operations Center. When a Joint Information Center is activated to provide coordinated information response from the laboratory as well as from local or state agencies, Community Relations will transfer its public response staff to that location and will forward the rumor control line to the JIC telephone number: 505-606-0169. The Community Alert Network, as well as a radio link with KRSN radio, and the ability to enlist the local cable television network enable the laboratory to notify Los Alamos County and surrounding area residents in a timely manner if there is a need to shelter in place or evacuate. These functions are coordinated through the Emergency Management and Response Group.
