Safety Message: If you do have stress symptoms, taking steps to manage your stress can have numerous health benefits.

Weather Summary:
Relatively weak winds (below 10 knots), low seas (below 2 feet) and low rain chances are expected to continue
through the next 3 days, which will be favorable for surface oil recovery operations. However, winds are expected to
continue out of the south-southwest for the next three days, pushing portions of the oil plume towards the western
Florida Panhandle. A tropical wave in the central Atlantic has a 60% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the
next 48 hours.

1. Response Coordination Center (RCC) Update:

Operations: All Staging Sites are functional. Unified has setup two site offices at the Carrabelle site.
Working with GIS to create Tracking Database for Boom Storage and Deployment.Meeting with State
Representative from ACT. Lombardi site performed test booming runs today to determine estimated
deployment times.

Logistics: Supplemental safety equipment has been delivered to the Staging Sites. Job Site fencing for Site
2 is being arranged. Ice and water are high priority supplies that need to be maintained at the Staging Sites
and coordinators must place strong emphasis on constant hydration. Staging Areas continue to receive
Boom. Route plan and schedule for the Logistics Facility Courier is in effect. Requisition forms are
located in the hanging box at the logistics station in the RCC. An electronic copy of the Requisition
form has been developed and will be distributed this week.

Planning: Plans are being distributed this week to appropriate subject matter experts for review.

Reminder to the team to be mindful of the release of sensitive information at all times and limit such
discussion during briefings.

Planning has requested the adoption of a new CGA Emergency Response Team Policy. Any email that

ONE TEAM ONE MISSION


includes an official document, needs to have the Planning Chief copied for official record.

Finance: Be sure to submit all paperwork 214 Forms, Expenditures etc. Finance is also working on the
development of a centralized communication hub for file sharing and tracking.

PIO/ Security: The PIO / Security Officer has established security at each staging site and secured Deputy
Patrols of the sites. Carrabelle Security is operating smoothly and issues at the Lombardi site are being
addressed. Security Officer has made contact with Lt. Shiver to resolve security issues. Site visits are being
performed daily.

214: All CGA related personel are directed to forward 214s to DeepHorizon214@gmail.com Besure that
the Finance section has all 214s and expenses submitted by 15 June.

2. Safety Precautions:
Stress symptoms: Effects on your body, feelings and behavior.

Stress symptoms may be affecting your health, even though you might not realize it. You may think illness is to
blame for that nagging headache, your frequent forgetfulness or your decreased productivity at work. But
sometimes stress is to blame. Indeed, stress symptoms can affect your body, your thoughts and feelings, and your
behavior. When you recognize common stress symptoms, you can take steps to manage them.

If you do have stress symptoms, taking steps to manage your stress can have numerous health benefits. Stress
management can include: physical activity, relaxation techniques, meditation and yoga.

Terri Kanamine is the designated Safety Officer. However, EVERYONE IS A SAFETY OFFICER.
When a potential hazard is discovered:
1. Make sure that everyone else in your workplace is aware of the problem.
2. Notify your supervisor. Unless you are the supervisor; then get going on that safety committee plan.
3. File any reports or documents about the problem.
4. Follow up. Telling someone theres a problem is not a guarantee that the problem will be resolved
satisfactorily. Report it and later follow up to make sure the problem was addressed.

3. Area Update:
Reconnaissance missions are ongoing. On June 14, as of noon, light sheen, streamers of weathered
oil and tar balls were detected within five miles of Pensacola Pass.
On June 13, dime to five inch-sized tar balls and tar patties were found in widely scattered areas of
Northwest Florida.
Perdido Pass and Pensacola Pass will be closed with the tide to prevent oil from entering inland waters.
Boom will be deployed across each Pass at flood tide (water coming in) and removed at ebb tide (water
going out). o
o Boaters in areas where skimming is being conducted, or where boom has been set, have been

ONE TEAM ONE MISSION


requested to maintain no-wake speeds.
o Based on oil activity recently, the United States Coast Guard's Captain of the Port for Sector
Mobile authorized the official closure of Perdido Pass and Pensacola Pass. These waterways will
be manned to allow access to necessary vessel traffic. Perdido Pass and Pensacola Pass will be
open for vessel traffic during low tide. See NOAA tide predictions.
o Boat traffic needing access in or out of boom locations, should call 1-850-736-2261.
o A flashing light has been attached to all boom to increase visibility to boaters.
According to NOAA projections, additional impacts are expected throughout northwest Florida within the
next 72 hours due to onshore winds.
The majority of impacts to Floridas shoreline will likely be highly weathered, in the form of tar balls, oil
sheen, tar mats or mousse a pudding-like oil/water mixture that could be brown, rust or orange in color.
Observations by NOAA continue to indicate no significant amounts of oil moving toward the Loop
Current. The Loop Current Ring, a circular current which was formerly part of the Loop Current and
contains a small portion of oil slick in the form of light sheens, has slightly reattached to the main Loop
Current after previously pinching off late last month. This reattachment has the potential to move a small
amount of oil to the Florida Straits, but tar balls are not likely to impact the Florida Straits in the next
three to four days.
o There have been no reports of Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill-related oil products reaching the
shore beyond the northwest Florida region. There is no indication that the rest of the state will
have impacts from weathered oil products within the next 72 hours.

4. State Update:
State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is at a Level 1 (Full), operating from 0700 to 1800 EDT,
with Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) as the lead agency.
Governors Executive Orders 10-99, 10-100, and 10-106 declared a state of emergency for identified
counties along the Florida coast.
Governors Executive Order 10-101 established the Gulf Oil Spill Economic Recovery Task Force, which
will facilitate efforts by Florida businesses and industries to recover from the loss of commerce and
revenues due to the oil spill.
Governor Charlie Crist activated Floridas Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan Program to provide
emergency, short-term loans to established small businesses in 26 designated counties.
Conducting daily conference calls with county and emergency management partners, the Federal On-
Scene Coordinator, and various Unified Commands.
Reconnaissance missions are ongoing. On June 14, as of noon, light sheen, streamers of weathered
oil and tar balls were detected within five miles of Pensacola Pass.
On June 13, dime to five inch-sized tar balls and tar patties were found in widely scattered areas of
Northwest Florida.
Perdido Pass and Pensacola Pass are being closed with the tide to prevent oil from entering inland
waters. Boom will be deployed across each Pass at flood tide (incoming) and removed at ebb tide
(outgoing).
Oil Containment Boom (in feet) total: 363,340 deployed in Florida.
o Tier 1: 176,400 / Tier 2: 123,500 / Tier 3: 63,440
According to the NOAA oil plume model, the oil plume remains 67 miles from Mexico Beach and
258 miles from St. Petersburg, with non contiguous sheens and scattered tarballs closer. Coastal
regions near and west of Choctawhatchee Bay may experience shoreline impacts through

Wednesday, mthough the NOAA uncertainty line extends east to Bay County.
Scattered patches of sheen and tarballs remain in the Loop Current Ring. However, there is
increasing evidence that the Loop Current Ring has begun to detach from the Loop Current,
helping these areas of sheen and tarballs remain in the Ring.
A 5-7 member Incident Management Assistance Team (IMAT) from FEMA is arriving today to
assist the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) with streamlining financial reimbursement
processing.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued a partial harvesting closure
of saltwater fish and marine vertebrates (does not apply to oysters, clams, and mussels). This
closure covers state waters from the Alabama state line east to the Pensacola Beach water tower
(23 miles east and out 9 nautical miles from coastline) from 6/14/10 until modified by a subsequent
FWC executive order. Recreational catch and release is allowed.
A SERT Toxicological Data Analysis Cell is mobilizing at the SEOC to provide consistent scientific
analysis and assessment of collected data sampling to inform local and state decision making.
An additional 20 FDEP personnel are now trained and available to rotate into the Shoreline
Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT) teams.

5. Federal Update:
Unified Area Command estimates release rate of oil from Deepwater Horizon at 20,000 to 40,000 barrels
per day. The containment dome is recovering approximately 15,000 barrels of oil and burning off
millions of cubic feet of natural gas per day.
BP has placed a Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP) Cap Containment System in an attempt to contain
the leak and capture a substantial amount of the leaking oil. On June 13, 15,200 barrels of oil were
captured from the LMRP Cap Containment System.
Unified Area Command continues with a comprehensive oil well intervention and spill response planning
following the April 22 sinking of the Transocean Deepwater Horizon drilling rig 130 miles southeast of
New Orleans.
More than 25,000 personnel are working the on and offshore response.
BP is continuing efforts to drill two relief wells.
