• Oil Spill Planning in Washington
• Incident Command System (ICS) Priorities and
  where Geographic Response Plans (GRPs) fit
• Examples of Response Strategies

Initial ICS Objectives

• Ensure the safety of citizens and response
  personnel
• Control the source of the spill
• Manage a coordinated response effort
• Maximize protection of environmentally sensitive
  areas
• Contain and recover spilled material

6
Safety is always 1

• Major function of local first responders Fire
  and Law Enforcement
• Dont make a bad situation worse by getting
  someone injured

7
Source Control Initial Containment

• Essential first step in controlling an oil spill

8
Coordinated Response

• Use the Incident Command System (ICS)

9
Reduce Impacts to Environmentally Sensitive Areas

• What resources are at risk?
• Where are they located?
• Is it possible to install a response strategy
  that may reduce the impacts of the oil?
• Can any of this be planned for ahead of an oil
  spill?
• Taa daa.GRP

Strategy Sites

• Identify and select WRIA 7 strategy sites for GRP
  characterization using one of more of the
  following..
• GIS data - Resources At Risk (RAR)
• Criteria and classification
• Ranking
• Common sense what works
• Stakeholder knowledge
• Ecology/technical team knowledge

32
Todays Objectives

• Tour of watershed using GIS database
• Do we have sufficient GIS information?
• Are there specific concerns or other input?
• Discuss strategy site selection criteria
  considerations
