Who should you contact for UXO reporting?

Contacting local authorities or explosive ordnance disposal units is the most appropriate action for UXO reporting because these entities are specifically trained and equipped to handle explosive ordnance safely. They have the knowledge and resources necessary to assess the situation and initiate a response to ensure public safety.

Local authorities often serve as the first point of contact for such reports and can coordinate with specialized units that have the expertise in UXO. Explosive ordnance disposal units are dedicated to the identification, assessment, and safe disposal of unexploded ordnance, making them crucial in managing potential hazards associated with UXO.

Other entities, while they may play a role in related processes, are not primarily focused on the immediate handling and disposal of unexploded ordnance. Environmental protection agencies and military command centers might deal with broader implications or cleanup operations but do not directly respond to UXO situations. Local law enforcement agencies might take initial reports or assess safety but would typically rely on explosive ordnance disposal units to take necessary actions.
