Oil Spill contingency planning

Oil spill contingency planning involves preparing for potential oil spills to minimize environmental damage. This includes creating response strategies, training personnel, and coordinating with local authorities and environmental agencies. Plans typically outline steps for containment, cleanup, and communication with the public. Key components involve assessing risks, deploying resources, and conducting drills to ensure readiness. The goal is to respond quickly and effectively to protect wildlife, ecosystems, and communities, while also preventing spills through regulations and best practices in oil handling and transportation.
