Oil Spill Response

Volunteer New Orleans would like to thank you for your interest in supporting us as we address the recent Gulf Coast oil spill. We are currently monitoring the situation and working with our community partners to support the volunteer response to this incident.

As details are still being formulated in regard to volunteer opportunities and deployment, we are asking that everyone interested in potentially serving as a volunteer pre-register at:
www.volunteerlouisiana.gov.

We are asking all volunteers to complete the pre-registration process and any necessary training, confirm their volunteer placement, and await deployment orders prior to arriving onsite. Please remember that unannounced, unconfirmed volunteers create an additional burden to those leading the response efforts and slow the process down rather than speed it up.

For more information on the oil spill please visit: http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/site/2931/ and http://www.epa.gov/bpspill/

Again we thank you for you interest in serving us and look forward to your ongoing support in this lengthy recovery process.
