Look In Your Telephone Book! Consult your telephone book (under the name of your city or county) for the local agency/office responsible for environmental concerns. Many cities have a citizen's complaint bureau or ombudsman who will give you assistance or direct you to the right place. You may also wish to contact your local county council or county commissioners, mayor, or members of the city council. States and local governments may have environmental requirements more stringent or covering more issues than the federal laws (i.e., many cities have local noise ordinances that are more restrictive than federal law). Environmental Emergencies Fire departments should be notified of any hazardous spill or accident. Many fire departments have staff trained in identifying and handling toxic/hazardous materials. Fire departments are usually close to the scene and therefore able to respond quickly and notify the other appropriate authorities. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also has an emergency response telephone number (206 442-1263) which is a 24-hour number for reporting oil spills, hazardous material spills, etc. In reporting or requesting assistance, clearly give your name, address, telephone number, location of the spill/hazard, and probable source of the material. Providing as much information as possible assists in a prompt response. ------- Public Access Numbers for Emergency and Environmental Information Other Environmental Information Public libraries as well as school and university libraries are excellent sources of environmental information.
