SUMMARY
An important step in oil spill response is to assess the character and extent of oil spilled on the water. This information is used by the Incident Command (the people in charge of a spill response) to prioritize response and direct cleanup resources. This aid was created by NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration to help you perform efficient assessments and to use standard language to communicate your findings effectively. In November 2007, this job aid was updated to include new standardized oil slick appearance and structure nomenclature and code.
