Endangered Species Emergency Consultation

Until further notice, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will address all hurricane related Federal activities within counties of Presidentially-declared disaster areas following the approach below. Environmental compliance for areas outside of Presidentially-declared disaster areas is also addressed. The Section 7(p) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the emergency consultation provisions of the regulations that implement the ESA (50 CFR section 402) will be used.
