Mission: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) is a federal leader in preparedness, response, damage assessment, and restoration for oil spills, chemical spills, and hazardous waste sites. As a natural resource trustee, OR&R's mission is to minimize harm to the environment during an incident response, and protect and restore coastal ecosystems. OR&R works with federal, state, local, and tribal agencies to develop best practices and decision-making tools for cleanup and assessment of oil spills and hazardous waste sites.

Notes:

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, OR&R provided invaluable scientific support to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama in their response efforts. OR&R and the NOAA Restoration Center also worked with state and federal partners to assess the impacts to natural resources and to plan for restoration, within the context of the broader recovery efforts.
