SEPTEMBER 16, 2016--Four OR&R staff members attended a two-day workshop with 24 Ninth Coast Guard District personnel on developing standardized Geographic Response Plans (GRPs) for integration into OR&R’s online mapping tool, Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA^®).

The Ninth Coast Guard District project uses a common database to populate the hardcopy GRP used by field response personnel and the data displayed in ERMA to ensure consistency for responders both in the field and in the Incident Command Post (ICP).

In addition to training on the GRP database, hardcopy document, and project’s workflow; OR&R personnel led an extensive training session on utilizing ERMA’s full functionality, including the recently released draw tool, for use in planning and as a response Common Operational Picture (COP).
