LEANING FORWARD

Opportunities for Action
◦ Prepare for immediate need for information at all
levels
◦ Re-Evaluate Regional IMT Pool to ensure if people
are in the right positions
◦ Implement new training for specific positions (SO)
◦ Having all Liaison Officer positions filled by ORC
◦ Develop strategies to develop better longer term
response continuity
 The plug-and-play approach is not appropriate for
every position.

◦ Need better communication between Situation Unit,
Resource Unit and REOC for staffing and situational
awareness
◦ PHMSA and EPA need an MOU regarding Response and
FRP
◦ NTSB **BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SIGN**

