Deepwater Horizon Unified Command Posts Response Timeline

The Deepwater Horizon Unified Command has posted an "ongoing timeline" of events starting with the night of April 20 through today, May 12. This timeline is posted on "The Official Site of the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command." Unified Command has been established to manage response operations to the April 20, 2010 “Deepwater Horizon” incident.

A Unified Command links the organizations responding to an incident and provides a forum for those organizations to make consensus decisions. This site is maintained by the Unified Command’s Joint Information Center (JIC), which provides the public with reliable, timely information about the response.
The organizations involved include nearly everything you could imagine, Check out their ABOUT US PAGE to see all their cool logos:
  • BP
  • Transocean
  • United States Coast Guard
  • US Dept of Interior Minerals Management Service
  • NOAA
  • US EPA
  • US Dept of Homeland  Securties
  • US Dept of the Interior
  • Dept of Defense
  • US Fish and Wildlife
  • National Park Service
  • Dept of State
  • USGS
  • CDC
 It is hard to imagine why some are  involved, but it is nice to know this is getting the attention it deserves. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a case of too many cooks in the kitchen
