OR&R across the U.S.

The map below shows the location of Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) field staff from its two divisions:

• the Emergency Response Division (ERD)
  
• the Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD)

Emergency Response Division (ERD):

OR&R's Emergency Response Division (ERD), formerly the Hazardous Materials Response Division (HAZMAT), consists of an interdisciplinary scientific team that responds to oil and chemical spills in U.S. waters and helps the On-Scene Coordinator make timely operational decisions. The team is headquartered at NOAA's campus in Seattle; however ERD's Scientific Support Coordinators (SSCs), located around the country, lead the team at spills, drawing on the team's spill trajectory estimates, chemical hazards analyses, and assessments of the sensitivity of biological and human-use resources. In addition, ERD scientists assess the extent of environmental injury and assist ARD with initiation of natural resource damage assessment. OR&R staff members also represent NOAA and the DOC on the National Response Team and Regional Response Teams.

• Contact national ERD staff

Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD):

OR&R's Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) protects and restores coastal habitats and resources affected by hazardous materials releases or ship grounding. All of ARD's efforts, from assessment to restoration, are coordinated at a regional level. ARD's Regional Resource Coordinators (RRCs) are NOAA environmental scientists who work to provide the technical foundation for assessments of ecological risk and environmental and economic injury from contamination at hazardous waste sites and to improve coordination among trustee agencies.
