Moving Forward
Transition to Long-Term Recovery and Natural Resources Damage Assessments and Public Health programs…continue to work to restore the Gulf Region to pre-spill conditions.
Capture Lessons Learned and Identify potential Areas for Improvement and implement recommendations to more effectively respond to future spills.
Review the National Contingency Plan and National Response Framework to identify National-level issues to enhance public’s expectation for a coordinated, ‘whole of government’ response to Incidents of National Significance.
