Offshore Situation Room: Enhancing Resilience to Offshore Oil Disasters in the Gulf of Mexico

Completed

The Deepwater Horizon catastrophe and resulting oil spill ranks as one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. Much has been learned to date about preventing, responding to, and recovering from an offshore oil disaster, but just how far have we come? The Offshore Situation Room (OSR) began to document, through innovative game play, the current levels of understanding, and in doing so, identified gaps, and set forth a new agenda to reduce the impacts of offshore oil disasters on the environment, human health, and community resilience.

OSR took place virtually over three half-days from June 15-17, 2021.
