Who to call in Palmdale
Palmdale Sheriff's Station
750 East Avenue Q, (661) 272-2400. Call to ask whether a home or car has been released. The station also covers Acton, Leona Valley, Littlerock and other nearby areas (LASD Palmdale).
Medical examiner
The county Department of Medical Examiner, (323) 343-0714. Choose a funeral home and tell them the office has the case (for families).
In a two-story home
When the incident was upstairs, fluids can pass through carpet and subfloor into the ceiling of the room below. Ask the company to check that ceiling and any light fixtures or vents in it.
Upstairs work also means carrying sealed waste down the stairs. Clear the stairway and say if anyone in the home needs to keep using it during the cleanup.
Other nearby communities
Ready when you are
There is no need to call before the home or car has been released. When it has, one call puts you in touch with an independent cleanup company that works in the Antelope Valley.
