This 20-page report summarizes a series of five regional workshops that were part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Gulf Research Program, held between December 2018 and May 2019 to gather feedback at the local and regional levels to identify opportunities to improve preparedness for oil spills. The five regions identified for this national collaborative effort—the West Coast, mid-Atlantic, Alaska, and eastern and western Gulf of Mexico—are all home to communities that have been impacted by oil spills. Each workshop focused on three broadly defined topical areas: minimizing health, social, and economic disruptions after oil spills. (PDF)
