Questions and Requests for Assistance
Los Alamos County is receiving a high volume of calls from the public with a variety of questions and requests for assistance. Three forms are now available where individuals can pose questions, and request assistance with transportation or animals in case of an evacuation. We highly recommend the public utilize these forms to help County staff manage the high volume of requests.
Officials with Los Alamos County request that individuals with questions not contact emergency responders directly, as these individuals are extremely busy fighting the fire.
