  6. Primary Safety Concerns to Public • Seafood Safety • Dispersants • Beach Contamination (i.e. air monitoring and SSRB exposure) • Mental Health

  7. Moving Forward • Reaching the end points of response, incremental work, done by integrated shoreline cleanup assessment teams. • Capture Lessons Learned and Identify potential Areas for improvement. • Review the National Contingency Plan and National Response Framework to identify National-level issues to enhance public’s expectation for a coordinated, “whole of government” response to Incidents of National Significance • Transition from response to recovery
