Community Outreach Task Force

Steering Committee Tasks:ID pre-event outreach topics and intended

audience(s).

Develop, in cooperation with information owner i.e. PoR, key messages & campaign materials, and identify who will deliver the information.

Develop Implementation plan.

Recommend next steps for 2013 TF.

Reviewing the Fact Sheets currently available on the RRT website. The existing sheets need to be updated, and additional sheets need to be developed.

We will then focus on developing a basic introduction, a primer, to the whole process of oil spill response as communities currently do not understand how the process works.

After the basic course is created, we will focus on more specific topics such as PoR, VOOs, Volunteers, Alternate Response Technologies vs. mechanical recovery and the trade-offs involved, etc.

The detailed topics will be developed as standalone topics that we can eventually pull from to create customized presentations to the intended audience.

Plan of Action:

Status Identified 16 topics for fact sheets; seven are essentially

done, remainder in various stages of completion.Four additional topics identified but on hold pending

outcome of legislation and rule development.

Challenges/Shortfalls/Gaps: Time

Plan Of Action and Milestones: Next Meeting is TBD as we just had one. Complete all fact sheets by mid-summer. Start developing the talking points supporting each fact sheet

topic to be used as the building blocks for community presentations. Supports the one voice unified approach.

Take advantage of every opportunity to interact with the community.
