The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s National Terrorism Advisory System has determined that our country is currently in a “heightened threat environment,” with a persistent and lethal threat from domestic violent extremists and those associated with foreign terrorist organizations. Details on the Advisory System are here: National Terrorism Advisory System | Homeland Security

Let’s maintain our focus on safety in all aspects of our work, be alert, and stay informed. If you see something, say something and report suspicious activity (including suspicious emails or potential cyber-attacks). This could include a bag or package left unattended, a vehicle or person in a restricted area, or other behavior that is out of the norm.

Where to Report?

  • Emergencies: Emergency Services Watch Office at 865-574-3282 or 865-574-4911
  • Non-emergencies: UCOR Physical Security (PhysicalSecurity@orcc.doe.gov) or 865-574-2177

Thank you for your continued focus on safety and security in all aspects of our important work for the U.S. Department of Energy.
