What OSHA Offices may be involved in either offering compliance assistance or issuing citations?
Regions 4 and 5 include Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. During the Katrina clean-up, the Baton Rouge Area Office was the most heavily involved in overall response, followed by the Mobile Area Office. Jacksonville, Florida, has authority over the Florida Panhandle. The Birmingham, Alabama, and Jackson Mississippi Offices were also affected by Katrina. The Fort Lauderdale Area Office has responsibility for South Florida. OSHA’s Region IV Response Team was sent to South Texas before Rita hit, and coordinated with FEMA in Austin, Texas during Katrina, and presumably following Hannah. OSHA has not yet made any posting for Florida.
