  3. Introduction • The T/V Prestige incident in Spain raised the issue • Alaska Regional Response Team Workgroups • Decision-making Guidelines • Pre-incident Planning

  4. Introduction • There are no pre-designated places of refuge • Potential sites are identified and relevant info is collected • Place of refuge selected on an incident specific basis Photo Credit-Unified Command

  7. Cook Inlet Subarea Committee- 9 PPOR Identified • Anchorage • Nikiski • Drift River • Kachemak Bay • Seldovia • Port Graham • Port Chatham • Seward • Whittier

  8. Workgroup Process-Potential Places of Refuge • Stakeholders • Governments • Resource Agencies • Spill Response Organizations • Mariners • Landowners • General Public Photo Credit-Unified Command

  9.

  11. Potential Places of Refuge Pre-incident Planning Goals • Identify information needed to assist decision makers during an incident • Discuss and gather information regarding use-conflicts outside of crisis situation • Obtain local knowledge to understand capabilities, limitation, impacts • Identify potential sites acceptable/least offensive to all
