Oil Spill Website

E-mail Print PDF
The Southern Mississippi Planning and Development District has launched a website to quickly disseminate information to locals directly affected by the 2010 oil spill.

The site can be found at www.2010oilspill.com. The site provides national, regional and local newsfeeds as well as resources for volunteers, potential contractors and the public at large.

"About ten days after the explosion, we began to see an uptick in interest and concern. We knew that we had to find a way to get information out quickly to our member governments and this seemed to be the best avenue," said Les Newcomb, Executive Director. The site went live by the afternoon of April 30th and is also accessible through Facebook and Twitter.
