Title: Integrating Communities within the Incident Command System During a Spill Response
Presenters: Mr. Ben Badon, Mr. Randy Ashmore, and Ms. Jenna Driscoll
Summary of Webinar
Building upon February’s webinar that discussed how social science research can be used to advance oil spill preparedness, response, and community engagement; this webinar discusses the specific roles within the Incident Command System (ICS) that enable these important collaborations.
Presenters will introduce the ICS framework and highlight the importance of clear, coordinated communication through case studies of past response operations. Examples from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (CDFW-OSPR) will also be presented to demonstrate how engaging stakeholders strengthens response outcomes. Participants will learn about the role of a Liaison Officer and how this position is used to coordinate outreach and foster relationships with community representatives.
