Subject: ***NRC IS RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES**
Importance: High
THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
The NRC and other Federal agencies are closely following an emergency occurring outside of the United States. Press releases about NRC actions are posted on www.nrc.gov. Information is also available on the NRC External Blog at: http://public-bloq.nrc-gateway.gov. Employees contacted by the media are asked to refer the calls to the Office of Public Affairs at 301-415-8200
Two important reminders:
It is possible that some of us will be requested by colleagues in another country to provide technical advice and assistance during this emergency. It is essential that all such communications be handled through the NRC Operations Center. Any assistance to a foreign government or entity must be coordinated through the NRC Operations Center and the U.S. Department of State (DOS). If you receive such a request, contact the NRC Operations Officer (301-816-5100 or via the NRC Operator) immediately.
If you receive information regarding this or any emergency (foreign or domestic) and you are not certain that the NRC’s Incident Response Operations Officer is already aware of that information, you should contact the NRC Operations Officer (301-816-5100 or via the NRC Operator) and provide that information. No response to this message is required.
