New Web Site for Oil Spill Information

Jul 9th, 2010

National Incident Commander Admiral Thad Allen announced the launch of a new federal web portal — www.RestoreTheGulf.gov — dedicated to providing the American people with clear and accessible information and resources related to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and recovery. RestoreTheGulf.gov is designed to serve as a one-stop repository for news, data and operational updates related to administration-wide efforts to stop the BP oil leak and mitigate its impact on the environment, the economy and public health—unifying web resources across the administration and increasing public access to the latest information.

The web portal maintained by the Unified Area Command’s Joint Information Center as a short term incident communication site (www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com) will be phased out over the coming weeks as information there is moved to www.RestoreTheGulf.gov.

Please help get the word out to your constituents about this new website to ensure that they have uninterrupted access to information about resources available to impacted individuals and communities.
