This month’s meeting of the Military Order of the World Wars is Tuesday, Sept. 18. September is National Emergency Management Month  and the speaker is Los Alamos County Emergency Manager Beverley Simpson. She will discuss Emergency Preparedness in Los Alamos County.
 
Los Alamos County is surrounded by Urban Interface, National Park Service, LANL, Pueblos and National Forest. It is sometime hard to tell where one jurisdiction begins or ends. Simpson explains that as emergency manager for Los Alamos County, coordination with these entities including local business, residents, local, state and federal agencies is essential to effectively and efficiently mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from threatened or actual natural disasters, acts of terrorism or other manmade disasters. The goal being to reduce the risk to all hazards in Los Alamos County.
 
The meeting is in the 2nd floor conference room at the Los Alamos Research Park. The Los Alamos Research Park is west of the South Mesa Fire Station. Parking is available east of the fire station (accessible from the southbound lane of the Los Alamos Canyon Bridge) or east of the Research Park building (access is through the LANL control stations to West Jemez Road.) Entrance to the Research Park main conference room is from the ground level elevator on the east side of the building to the 2nd level.
