notes: Recognized as a international leader in oil spill response, the OWCN focuses on four core areas to expediently and effectively offer the best possible care for oil-affected wildlife: •Readiness: Continual training and drilling of facilities, personnel, and wildlife contingency plans is critical to rapid deployment during oil spill disasters; •Response: Providing immediate access to permanent wildlife rehabilitation facilities, trained personnel, and key supplies is necessary for giving care to oil-affected wildlife; •Research: Exploring improvements to methods for collecting and caring for wildlife through active research helps to ensure the use of the best medical therapies during oiled wildlife rehabilitation efforts; and •Reaching Out: Sharing knowledge and resources with the public and other wildlife professionals allows global dissemination of the best information possible on the effects of oil on wildlife and their environment. ----- Report an Oiled Animal Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to find individual oiled animals along the California coastline, even when there isn't a major active spill. If you find an oiled animal, 1. Please do not touch it or try to approach it! 2. Please call the OWCN Response Hotline at 1-877-UCD-OWCN (823-6926). See details at: http://www.owcn.org/about-oiled-wildlife/report-an-oiled-animal ----- The OWCN works with two kinds of volunteers: "Pre-trained" volunteers who have an ongoing relationship with one of our network member organizations, and "convergent" volunteers who are concerned members of the public that want to help out during a spill event. See details at: http://www.owcn.org/volunteer-info -> Volunteers are being recruited on a state-by-state basis and updated on the Deepwater Horizon Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/DeepwaterHorizonResponse?ref=ts&v=wall If you would like to obtain volunteer information, please call 1-866-448-5816.
