When the spill occurred, location, what spilled and what is being done, who is responsible and point of contact)? • Is there a database of this information for spills that members can have access to?

What is WebEOC? • WebEOC is a web-based crisis management system designed for supporting the ICS method of response management for significant incidents, in addition to providing a unique toolset for supporting Daily Operations in the Regional Response Centers and the HQ Emergency Operations Center. • Although, WebEOC is restricted, this part for the spill line log is public information.
