Spills and fish kills should be reported during normal office hours to the nearest ADEM Field Office or
24 hours per day by calling the Alabama Emergency Management Agency State Warning Point at 1-800-843-0699. The ADEM response staff can be reached after hours in emergency situations through the Alabama Emergency Management Agency.
Each of the ADEM Field Offices has staff assigned on a rotating basis to response duties 24-hours per day and 7 days per week. Response activities include incidents involving spills of oil and hazardous materials and fish kills. In addition, ADEM supports local governments in response to actual or potential releases of oil and hazardous material resulting from natural, manmade or technological disasters. The ADEM response staff serve as State On Scene Coordinator for facility related releases of hazardous materials, including releases to State waters and oil releases to the State waters. ADEM also acts as the technical advisory agency in identifying and directing the containment, treatment, and removal of hazardous materials impacting or threatening the citizens and/or the environment of the State of Alabama. ADEM serves as the point of coordination between the state and federal response resources of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard.
