Arctic Spill of National
Significance (SONS)
Logistics Requirements
Background
In September 2012, senior executives from
the National Response Team (NRT) member
federal agencies gathered in Washington, DC
to discuss preparedness and response policy,
resources, and challenges related to a
possible SONS in the Arctic. One outcome
of that meeting was a request for a regional
Seminar to identify and report potential
major issues an Alaska-based response would
face in the event of an Arctic SONS.
Arctic SONS Seminar Objectives
Evaluate and identify potential areas for improvement
• Governmental, tribal, and other stakeholder awareness
of decision-making in selection of response tactics,
especially environmental/ economic tradeoffs
associated with the use of alternative countermeasures.
• Capabilities for “total logistics” (e.g. telecoms,
responder support, transportation, etc.) including
potential gaps that may require use of non-responsible
party capabilities (industry, federal, state, local).
• Alignment of strategic messaging vertically and
horizontally across all response agencies and
organizations from the local to national level.
• The SONS command structure in Alaska.
