This photo shows a typical command-center scene during an oil spill response.

7 - Connecting Everyone Together

Many different organizations become involved in the response to major spills. Within the U.S., state, local, and federal government agencies may all have responsibilities to help. Outside of the U.S., representatives of different national governments may need to work together. One of our activities is to find ways to help all these different people communicate effectively during a spill response. We provide technology and Web site support to help both on-scene and off-site scientists and responders share information during a spill.
