Workers also will be needed to clean up shoreline, structures, and assist wildlife damaged by oil.
Shore protection and oil spill clean up jobs will be offered to workers who Apply Online on this web site. Once registered, a worker will be notified of job opportunities that arise by email, access to private areas of this web site, or in some cases by phone, and can then decide whether to accept the job offered. A training program on oil spill response and clean up will be required of most workers.
Oil spill cleanup work may be within driving distance of a worker’s home, but if there is a shortage of workers living in an area needing help, then workers from other geographic areas will be brought in and will receive hotel accommodations and meal compensation.

Jobs are being coordinated by Risk Management Disaster Services, a private contractor that provides clean up and recovery services to government during emergencies such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and disasters like the gulf oil spill.

I grew up on the gulf coast and now reside in Alaska where I have commercial fished for twelve years. I own a large shallow draft skiff used in the 89 cleanup. I’m aching to get involved, and would like to trailer my skiff down to the gulf; naturally this would incur some substantial cost on my part. Is this a feasible undertaking that could produce prolonged employment? I applied online, but as of yet no response.
Thanks for your willingness. We are making sure all efforts are not wasted. Their are crews going to work sporadically. That is not our mission. We need to get married to the project once we get engaged in the project. This is were my time is spent, making sure when we deploy our teams, which includes people like yourself, we don’t waste time and money. Hang in there. Respectfully, William Lombardo
