Since the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico on April 22, 2010, EPA has mobilized resources to support the U.S. Coast Guard and protect public health and the environment. The Emergency Operations Center at headquarters has been activated, trained EPA responders are working on the scene, and special mobile equipment has been sent to the Gulf area.
The EPA has several online resources available:
1) Updated data and other information on the BP oil spill site:
- Get air quality and water data
- Find answers to common questions
- Submit technology solutions
2) Connect with the EPA via social media sites:
- Administrator Jackson’s personal account of the response to the oil spill: Facebook and Twitter
- EPA’s announcements: Facebook and Twitter
3) Subscribe to EPA oil spill updates
You can also visit the coordinated government response site for:
- Information about the spill and efforts to stop the oil from flowing
