Non Governmental Organizations

Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) have played a vital role in the response to one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history, and will be integral to the success of the recovery and restoration of the Gulf Coast. The Deepwater Horizon Response (DHR) Unified Area Command (UAC) in New Orleans has established a Non-Government Organization Interaction Unit to increase our level of engagement and strengthen the partnership with numerous local NGOs throughout the Gulf Region that have a vested interest in this response effort.

If you would like to join our mailing list to receive notifications and announcements on the Deepwater Horizon response or to submit an inquiry to the NGO Interaction Unit, please use the NGO Registration/Submit a Question Form.
