The 281,000 square-foot Edison campus is also home to a national emergency operations center, a newly refurbished center that allows E.P.A. to efficiently coordinate with field personnel during emergencies and to run a 24-7 operation during major emergencies. Just 2 weeks ago, new trailers arrived that will house the new national Response Team lab facilities, which will provide more modern equipment to respond to emergencies.
