Pettersen and Colorado Democrats question EPA emergency preparedness after reported communication failures and safety protocol lapses in Denver.
Quiver AI Summary
Lawmakers raise safety concerns at EPA Region 8: Rep. Brittany Pettersen, along with Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and Rep. Diana DeGette, sent a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin asking about safety issues at the EPA Region 8 headquarters in Denver, including a bomb threat, emergency communications, and building protocols.
Letter cites communication and training questions: The lawmakers said employees were not given clear guidance during recent threat-related incidents and that hardwired emergency phones were replaced with computer “soft phones” that staff have not been trained to use. They asked for details on notification procedures, response steps, and whether the systems can reliably reach 911.
Requests for explanation: The letter also asks why standard emergency procedures were not followed, why emergency phones were removed, and how the EPA plans to ensure reliable access to emergency services in parts of the building with limited cell service. The full letter was linked in the release.
