McKinley County emergency, health and civic contacts for Gallup and Zuni Pueblo
AI-generated illustration

McKinley County’s emergency phone lines are clear — 505-722-4248 and 505-722-9009 — but two official documents list different people and job titles for emergency leadership. That matters if you need to report a road closure, request shelters during a weather event, or email an emergency-manager contact: use the numbers below, save them to your phone, and verify titles by calling the county switchboard at 505-863-1400 when necessary.

Purpose and scope "Purpose and scope: This evergreen guide compiles the essential emergency, health and civic contacts McKinley County residents often need in everyday life and in crisis situations. It is designed as a quick-reference resource so that Gallup and Zuni Pueblo residents — and people traveling through McK"

Life-threatening emergencies — immediate action (verbatim) For life-threatening emergencies: Call 911 to notify law enforcement/emergency response officials.

    McKinley County: core contacts and where to find them

    McKinley County main office

  • McKinley County
  • 207 West Hill Ave, Gallup, NM 87301
  • Phone: 505-863-1400
  • Fax: 505-863-6362

    Emergency Management office (local operational hub)

  • Address: 2221 Boyd Ave, Gallup, NM 87301
  • Phone numbers shown across official sources: 505-722-4248 and 505-722-9009

Staff listings and an explicit discrepancy Two primary source fragments provide staffing details for McKinley County Emergency Management; both list the same phone numbers but assign titles differently:

- From the McKinley County website staff table (verbatim): "Berry, Adam | Emergency Manager | | 505-722-4248 | " - Note: the county table row for Adam Berry shows the title "Emergency Manager" and phone 505-722-4248; the email cell is blank in that table.

- From the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management local preparedness program contact list (verbatim): - "McKinley County Susan Mahooty Emergency Manager (505) 722-4248 (505)722-9009 smahooty@co.mckinley.nm.us" - "McKinley County Adam Berry Emergency Mgmt. Specialist (505) 722-4248 (505)722-9009 Aberry@co.mckinley.nm.us"

Both sources use the same two phone numbers for McKinley County Emergency Management. The DHSEM list supplies email addresses (smahooty@co.mckinley.nm.us and Aberry@co.mckinley.nm.us) that do not appear in the county staff table fragment. Because the two official fragments assign different titles, confirm current leadership when it matters for media, mutual aid, or formal requests.

What to do first — a short sequential checklist 1) For life-threatening events, call 911 immediately. 2) For county-level incidents or public-safety coordination (closures, evacuations, sheltering), call the Emergency Management office at 505-722-4248 or 505-722-9009. 3) For general county business or to route inquiries, call McKinley County’s main switchboard at 505-863-1400 (fax: 505-863-6362) or use email addresses listed below for non-urgent follow-up.

Cross-jurisdictional and regional resources (useful for travel and coordination) The compiled Evergreen guide excerpt includes private operator contacts and a broad list of hospitals and emergency departments centered on the Pacific Northwest. These entries are out-of-state resources to keep in mind if you travel to Washington or Oregon or coordinate cross-state evacuations; include them in travel plans but verify locally before relying on them.

Website fragments and UI strings (what you’ll see on the county page) The county website fragment includes interface labels such as "Create a Website Account - Manage notification subscriptions, save form progress and more." and "Mckinley County New Mexico Homepage" plus social links labeled "Facebook" and "Instagram." Those strings indicate the county maintains an online presence where notifications and forms may be managed; verify details there if you need digital alerts.

    Verification steps and practical tips

  • Confirm current Emergency Management leadership and titles by calling 505-722-4248 or the county switchboard at 505-863-1400, or by emailing the addresses shown (Aberry@co.mckinley.nm.us; smahooty@co.mckinley.nm.us).
  • Re-check the emergency-management phones (505-722-4248 and 505-722-9009) before relying on them for mutual-aid or official notifications.
  • Save 911, 505-722-4248, 505-722-9009, and 505-863-1400 in your phone now; during a local storm, wildfire threat, or public-health event those are the lines used in the materials compiled here.

A final local note The two sources examined agree on the essential phone lines serving McKinley County emergency operations, even though they differ on which name appears as Emergency Manager. That consistency in numbers — 505-722-4248 and 505-722-9009 — is the practical takeaway for Gallup and Zuni Pueblo: those are the county-level lines to call and save, and for life-threatening danger the instruction is unequivocal — Call 911. Keep this guide on hand and verify titles if you need to route formal requests or press inquiries through county leadership.
