About Drills & Exercises Unit

The Drills and Exercises (D&E) Unit's mission is to work with the industry, regulated agencies and stakeholders to design, conduct and evaluate exercises that promote improved oil spill response. The Unit assesses the response readiness of vessel and facility plan holders, develops and implements procedures for drills required by the contingency plan regulations and oversees the design, conduct and evaluation of individual drills and assesses the performance of drill participants. Our goals are to improve OSPR and stakeholder drill attendance, improve the drill evaluation process, enforce drills and exercises regulatory requirements and maintain drill calendars
