Health departments, organizations swamped with nuclear fears calls

GARFIELD COUNTY, Colo. (KKCO) - Fears over impacts of radiation from Japan are causing Western Slope residents to swamp health departments with phone calls.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has information on its Web site because it’s getting lots of calls. To review that information, click on the link below under Related Links.

And there’s a toll-free staffed number for residents of Garfield County if you have questions. The line is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. You can call them at 877.462.2911.

Centers for Disease Control is also working to get uniform messages out to all health departments to help answer those questions.
