Narrative:
Lahso is being conducted at our facility (bhm) with an inaccurate/incomplete aircraft list in the tower and no list available in the TRACON. I have spent the last two weeks watching controllers use wrong information while numerous requests for an updated list and the location of the lahso order have gone unheeded. Lahso is a critical operation at our facility and I do not want to be a party to the potential fallout that would occur if a clearly avoidable mistake is made due to support staff's failure to provide accurate; up-to-date information to work with in the operating quarters.
