This guidance is specific to emergency actions related to Hurricane Katrina and highlights several points, including reporting requirements for oil and chemical spills, projected long-term recovery efforts, and information on how agencies can respond to emergencies and comply with NEPA. Further guidance is provided by the Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance's ESM05-3, "Guidance for Preparing a Decision Memorandum When Performing Emergency Activities That Are Not Expected to Have a Significant Impact - Actions Associated with Hurricane Katrina."
