• Description:
  "This Guide is designed to enhance coordination of NOAA's diverse expertise, services, and resources when responding to a Great Lakes natural or anthropogenic emergency that involves a threat or damage to human health or life, to property, or to the environment. This Guide addresses the following emergencies: 1) an oil spill, hazardous chemical release, or maritime accident; 2) a large-scale fire event; 2) a large-scale or high-impact weather event; or 4) a radiological release. For many emergencies, only one NOAA Line Office is needed to provide an effective response. When two or more NOAA Line Offices are involved in a large-scale event, however, clear and efficient communication and coordination are needed to simultaneously provide a high level of service and efficiently utilize NOAA's own expertise and resources"--Preface.
