Webinar—Spill Response Planning & Preparedness from a Regulator Perspective
Event Information
About this Event
The Deepwater Horizon catastrophe caused significant environmental, ecological, and economic damage to the Gulf of Mexico region. Lessons learned from this and other spill incidents in the past decade have spurred a variety of initiatives and improvements to oil spill prevention, preparedness, and response. During this information-sharing webinar, our panelists will discuss, from their perspectives, a look back at where we have come in the last decade, and where we need to go in the next decade to be ready for a response to any offshore incident.
