Looking to the northeast from West Jemez Road (NM 501) towards Anchor West Road, site preparation is underway for the construction of a new two-story Emergency Operations Center for the Laboratory and Los Alamos County. More space with the latest communications technology will provide better emergency coordination between the Lab, the County, the State and the Department of Energy. New Emergency Operations Center to rise at Technical Area 69The new Emergency Operations Center being built at Technical Area 69 will house not just the Laboratory's Emergency Management operations, but also Los Alamos County, the neighboring pueblos, the National Guard, the State Police, the Red Cross, the Department of Energy and New Mexico Emergency Management. Housing all emergency agencies under one roof will enhance safety for the entire county, according to George Van Tiem of Emergency Management and Response (S-8). The new EOC also will be the first joint-use facility of its kind between a Laboratory and local government. The two-story, 38,000-square-foot facility will enable all the agencies to handle any emergency situation that arises. The second floor of the building will permanently house Los Alamos County's police, fire, medical and 9-1-1 dispatchers. Construction of the new Emergency Operations Center has begun and it is scheduled to be completed in the Fall of 2003. --John Bass
