Virgil Siow
Emergency Preparedness & Safety Compliance Manager

Department Overview:

The role of the Pueblo of Laguna’s Emergency Management program is to provide assistance to the Tribe on planning, development and implementation of emergency preparedness for all natural and human-caused disasters that occur on or near Pueblo lands. In part, this will be accomplished by developing a well-trained Hazardous Materials Response Team that will be capable of responding to any incident involving hazardous materials,  chemical, biological, radiological, or weapons of mass destruction incidents. The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) was recently updated to provide the EMC and the rest of the team with a more structured and strategical approach to all aforementioned disasters.
