SHORELINE CLEANUP ASSESSMENT TEAM CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Presentation Transcript

Arranged for RRTIII Meeting, May 12-14, 2009 Frank Csulak NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator SHORELINE CLEANUP ASSESSMENT TEAM CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

OBJECTIVE OF SHORELINE CLEANUP ASSESSMENT TEAM (SCAT) When oil debases shoreline territories, responders must review the influenced zones to decide the fitting reaction. Despite the fact that general endorsements or choice devices for utilization of the shoreline cleanup techniques might be created amid arranging stages, responders must construct particular cleanup proposals in light of field information on the shoreline natural surroundings, sorts and level of shoreline tainting, and spill-particular physical procedures.

PURPOSE OF SCAT Assessment of the requirement for shoreline cleanup Selection of the most suitable cleanup technique Determination of needs Documentation of the spatial oil conveyance after some time Internally reliable authentic record of shoreline oil circulation for use by other logical studies of intertidal and subtidal impacts (i.e. NRDA)

WHAT IS SCAT? a SYSTEMATIC approach that utilizations STANDARD phrasing to gather information on shoreline oiling conditions and bolster basic leadership for shoreline cleanup; FLEXIBLE as far as size of the study and detail of the informational indexes gathered; and MULTI-AGENCY, with TRAINED delegates from all invested individuals who have expert to decide

WHY THE NEED FOR SCAT CERTIFICATION ? Guarantee item nature of the SCAT Assure nature of the SCAT members

Improving SCAT NOAA position of authority – improvement, execution, preparing Standardize SCAT courses and educational modules –suitable for USCG capabilities Prioritizing preparing Provide "crisis" SCAT preparing Support Operations Streamline information accumulation Consistency between spills Develop bland tidy up end focuses Improving information administration – value of information Plan SCAT Summit

TRACKING DATA BASE NOAA has made database of people who have taken NOAA supported SCAT and Science of Oil Spills (SOS) formal preparing. Database being looked after NOAA/NOS/ORR/ERD Seattle, WA
