GOWRS firmly believes that wildlife responses are far more effective when oiled wildlife scenarios have been prepared for. GOWRS can help clients be better prepared for oiled wildlife incidents by offering the following services:
GOWRS can also deploy an Assessment Team as part of an industry exercise or drill if required or virtual input during an exercise if an in person deployment is not feasible. GOWRS can also assist with the design of the exercise, to provide realistic injects and scenarios, based on our members’ experiences with wildlife responses in the past.
GOWRS is currently developing training to assist industry in being better prepared for an oiled wildlife response. The training courses will include Wildlife Branch Director and Writing a Wildlife Plan.
GOWRS believes that preparedness is the most important aspect of a wildlife response. GOWRS can work with you to improve preparedness by assisting with writing wildlife plans, reviewing equipment stockpiles and providing training to your team. All these services can be provided at consultancy rates so please contact us if you would like more information.
GOWRS members have many years in providing operational wildlife responses, so if a GOWRS Assessment Team recommends that a wildlife response is needed, one of our members will be happy to assist where possible.
