Mobile Incident Command Post (ICP) Opens New Branch Office in Port St. Joe, Fla.

MOBILE, Ala. - The Mobile Incident Command Post (ICP) today
opened a new branch office in Florida to help speed any potential
response efforts along the Panhandle. The new Port St. Joe branch office
is responsible for four Florida counties – Gulf, Franklin, Wakulla, and
Jefferson.  This branch office will be jointly led by ICP branch
directors from the Coast Guard and BP.
The three states in the Mobile area of responsibility,
Mississippi, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida, have established
strategic branch offices to respond quickly and effectively to problems
that arise on the ground.  Branch offices make all tactical decisions at
the county level required to carry out the strategy, objectives and
work assignments established by the Unified Command at ICP Mobile and
published in the Incident Action Plan.  The creation of branch offices
at the county level will improve overall effort at the local level,
making response efforts more efficient and responsive to the needs of
the communities most affected by the oil spill.
The new branch office is located at 1624 Grouper Ave., Port
St. Joe, Florida, 32456.  Phone 251-583-1144.

If there are questions, please
