|
Our role is stewardship; our product is science.
NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) protects coastal and marine resources, mitigates threats, reduces harm, and restores ecological function. The Office provides comprehensive solutions to environmental hazards caused by oil, chemicals, and marine debris. Learn more… For information on OR&R's activities as part of the Damage Assessment, Remediation and Restoration Program, see the DARRP Web site.

| Featured Software & Data Sets |
Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Maps
ESI maps help spill responders and planners identify vulnerable coastal locations before a spill happens, so that protection priorities can be established and cleanup strategies identified in advance. |
GNOME
The General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment (GNOME) is a free computer program you can use to predict the trajectory of oil spilled in a particular scenario. |
Electronic ICS Forms
Electronic versions of the ICS forms that are used by people responding to oil spills or hazardous chemical accidents, as well as other kinds of emergencies. We offer them in two formats: database and PDF. |
CAMEO Software Suite Programs
Tools for emergency responders and planners, including CAMEO, CAMEO Chemicals, ALOHA, and MARPLOT. |

| Featured Web Portals |
CAMEO Chemicals Web Portal
A Web portal for CAMEO Chemicals, an easy-to-use, online tool for emergency responders and planners. Use this free Web site to search for chemicals, get response recommendations, and find out how chemicals would react if they mixed. |
IncidentNews
News and information on current and historical incidents. |
NOAA Restoration Portal Web Site
Provides centralized access to information about NOAA restoration resources, including restoration techniques and NOAA restoration references, through a single point-of-entry. |
Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program
NOAA's Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program (DARRP) is responsible for assessing and restoring coastal and marine resources injured by oil spills, hazardous substance releases, and vessel groundings. |
Coastal Response Research Center (CRRC)
The Coastal Response Research Center is focused on developing new approaches to spill response and restoration in marine and estuarine environments through research and synthesis of information. |
