In addition restoration services may be considered to reestablish essential government services and protect public health and safety. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the federal lead for consequence management, following the Federal Response Plan. The Environmental Protection Act's also provides CM support to FEMA in situations involving solid waste and emergency response, emergency and remedial response and chemical emergency preparedness and prevention office, air and radiation.

Perceptions of Off-Shore Risks:
The Government Accounting Office (GAO) for the United States recently published an article because of heightened interest in developing exploiting fossil fuel into environmentally sensitive areas such with a focus on the impact of exploration in the North Aleutian Basin. The report estimated quantities of oil and gas and needed infrastructure and identifies steps MMS (Now Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement or BOEMRE) is to take to meet federal requirements, identifies challenges BOEMRE faces in meeting these requirements in its Alaska OCS Region.Here is a synopsis of what the GAO Found, obtained from their DefendOil at http://www.gao.gov
