Alamogordo, New Mexico
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Alamogordo faces a critical environmental threat from the Alamogordo PFAS Site, located only 1.9 miles away. This area is contaminated with "forever chemicals" known as PFAS. These chemicals do not break down in the environment and can build up in your body over time. In daily life, this means your local water supply or soil might be unsafe. Drinking or touching contaminated water can lead to serious health issues. You must stay informed about local water alerts to protect your family.
Action Required
Immediate action is necessary to secure your living environment. Contact the Alto Coalition For Environmental Preservation or the Jornada Research Institute to learn about local soil testing and advocacy efforts. If you are concerned about the safety of your current residence, reach out to HUD housing agencies by calling 1-800-569-4287. They can provide guidance on healthy housing standards and potential relocation assistance. You may also consult with Eco-Servants for community-led environmental programs. Do not delay in verifying the safety of your tap water and local surroundings to mitigate long-term health risks from PFAS exposure.
