Is there a charge to contact the Oil Spill Response Duty Manager when I am having an exercise?
There is no charge to contact the Oil Spill Response Duty Manager when you are having a table top exercise. Indeed, we welcome such calls from members and are very happy to provide likely response times and logistic arrangements. Exercises are a great way to test out contingency plans and ensure that all the appropriate information on resources and contacts are up to date. Oil Spill Response is also pleased to be further involved in member’s exercises. This may range from developing scenarios and roles for the exercise to actual deployment of personnel and resources. The cost of this will depend on the nature and extent of the involvement.
