ALERT (A Locally Empowered Response Team) is a non profit organization using education and legal action to reduce toxic exposures from oil-chemical activities in at-risk communities.

Our campaign to ban toxic dispersants from use during oil spill response started after the Exxon Valdez disaster 30 years ago.

We are dedicated to giving citizens accessible science and legal tools to have a meaningful voice in energy choices in their own backyard.
