NOAA ’s R ole in E mergency R esponse (Charlie Henry, NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator)

Origins of NOAA HAZMAT Program… –1976 Argo Merchant oil spill, Nantucket, Massachusetts The tanker broke into two pieces Dec. 21, 1976, after running aground six days earlier on its way to Salem with a load of 7.3 million gal. of heavy fuel oil. Spilled Oil Research (SOR) Team established –Nov 16, 1977Scientific Support Team established for emergency spill response assistance to the U.S. Coast Guard and EPA

AGENCY MISSION STATEMENT The NOAA Office of Response and Restoration is guided by three goals in carrying out its stewardship responsibilities: l Reducing threats to coastal resources and human health through planning and response. l Protecting coastal resources and human health by recommending and implementing appropriate response actions. l Restoring injured trust resources.

Other than just another NOAA Scientist…  …what is a Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC)?  …see IMH, p15-22  …total of 9 SSCs

Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC): SSCs provide the Federal On Scene Coordinator (FOSC) with scientific advice with regard to the best course of action during a spill response. »FOSC is most often the USCG COTP or an EPA OSC »SSC’s do not restrict support to only the USCG and EPA The SSCs are essentially scientific-technical consultants to the FOSC for oil and hazardous material incidents. SSCs may be requested to respond to any emergency (all hazards). One of the identified Special Forces (just like the USCG Strike teams…)

NOAA Estimation of Floodwater Depth

USCG GOAL IS “BEST RESPONSE” q The SSC’s job (or any responders job) q is to help affect the spill response such that the net result meets the requirements of a “best response.” q (IMH 15-4)

NOAA Scientific Support Includes: Weather Forecast Tides and Currents Hazard Characterization Tactical Trajectory Natural Resources at Risk (RAR) Overflight Obs. SCAT Environmental issues and trade-offs Consultation

Science Team Composition (the guys and gals who make the SSC look good) SSC’s often manage a team of scientist: »Oceanographers »Modelers »Biologists »Chemists »Weather Forecasters »Info. Management Specialists Each spill is unique and the team composition highly variable to meet the needs and demands of the FOSC. (30 years of corporate knowledge)

WHAT ARE NOAA TRUST RESOURCES ? Commercial and recreational fishery resources Anadromous species (such as the Gulf Sturgeon) Endangered and threatened marine species and their habitats (sea turtles) Marine mammals including whales, dolphins, and seals Marshes, mangroves, seagrass beds, coral reefs Resources associated with National Marine Sanctuaries and National Estuarine Resource Reserves
