The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: Responding to the Crisis in the Gulf of Mexico Case Solution
BP was not able to top the dripping well for almost 3 months while oil spilled out of the wellhead at a rate of 35,000 to 60,000 barrels per day. By that time, an approximated 4.9 million barrels (207 million gallons) of oil had actually been spilled and almost 700 miles of shoreline had actually been oiled. The oil spill catastrophe and reaction is evaluated in terms of: (1) situational awareness (cognitive predispositions in comprehending the magnitude and determining and implications of catastrophes), (2) the idea of "accountable celebration" and liability in ecological law, (3) the novelty and size of catastrophes and the scalability of action efforts, (4) the action structure utilized to handle oil spills, (5) the function of federal government vs. the personal sector "accountable celebration" in handling the clean-up of ecological mishaps, (6) the stress in between regional, state and federal governments in handling a crisis, (7) management throughout crisis, (8) catastrophes as political occasions, (9) the obstacles of handling public understanding and expectations throughout a crisis, (10) the function of public viewpoint in the shaping of actions to catastrophes, and (11) the function of the media in forming the "story" of catastrophes.
