Description
This report focuses on the critical first stage of oil spill response operations – detection. It emphasises the importance of gathering comprehensive information about the spill before moving to the localisation and response stages. Detection involves understanding the details of the spill, such as its location, scale, volume, oil type, slick dimensions, and movement direction. It addresses the questions that responders need to answer before moving to localisation and response, including details about the oil type, environmental conditions, and surrounding factors. The aim is to provide a thorough understanding of the information required for effective oil spill response operations.
