The Los Alamos County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will host a virtual Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) meeting focused on the winter weather outlook and Red Cross programs on Wednesday, Dec. 17, from 9 to 10 a.m. via Zoom.
This quarterly session of the LEPC will support ongoing preparedness and seasonal situational awareness efforts, with two guest presentations from the National Weather Service (NWS) and the American Red Cross. A representative from the NWS will provide a briefing on the winter weather outlook for the 2025–2026 season, including anticipated storm activity, temperature trends, and potential hazards affecting Los Alamos County. The second half of the meeting will feature an overview of American Red Cross programs and volunteer opportunities, including community preparedness initiatives and ways local partners can engage. Q&A sessions will be held after each presentation as time allows.
LEPC members, partner agencies, community organizations, and interested stakeholders are encouraged to attend. Meeting notes and presentation materials will be shared following the meeting. For questions, please contact the Los Alamos County Office of Emergency Management at LACOEM@loslamosnm.gov.
