Register today for the Environmental Emergency Preparedness and Response Webinar Series

Large-scale environmental incidents and emergency events such as fires, floods, dam failures, and oil spills can and do occur in Michigan and have the potential to cause devastating impacts to human health and the environment. However, the damage caused by these disasters can be mitigated with proper preparedness and response. This webinar series is focused on helping business, industry, government, and the spill response community understand the complexities of preparing for and responding to large-scale environmental incidents and will provide an understanding of the various associated roles, responsibilities, regulations, and response technologies. A question-and-answer period will follow each presentation. Recordings of each webinar will be available on the Series webpage.

U.S. EPA and EGLE: Partners in Environmental Emergency Response

As the primary state and federal agencies tasked with environmental protection and environmental emergency response, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) often work in tandem and collaborate with other agencies in response to large scale emergency events. This presentation will describe how EGLE and U.S. EPA work together in response to environmental emergencies and will provide several real-world examples of how this is accomplished. An introduction of EGLE and U.S. EPA response staff will also be part of the presentation.
