An FOSC's Guide to NOAA Scientific Support
This guidebook, written for oil and chemical spill responders and Federal On-Scene Coordinators (FOSCs), provides a quick reference to the range of scientific support services available through NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), Emergency Response Division (ERD, commonly known as "NOAA HAZMAT").
The guidebook is available as portable document format (PDF) files, at right, in the following versions:
- An electronic version, with links to other files, Web sites, and e-mail addresses. These links, mostly contained in the appendixes, take the user directly to those references (Internet connection required). The purpose of their inclusion is to provide a single, instant reference to the many products and services provided by NOAA's Emergency Response Division. This version can be printed on 8.5" x 11" paper.
- A "booklet" version that you can print double-sided, then fold and staple to create a 5.5" x 8.5" booklet.
NOAA Scientific Support should be requested by an FOSC by contacting the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (NOAA SSC) assigned to their Coast Guard District. See Appendix 1 of the guidebook for SSC contact information.
