The Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council will meet in Anchorage Nov. 30^th and Dec. 1^st. For more information, visit www.circac.org or contact Shaylon Cochran at 907-283-7222.

CIRCAC staff and committee members participated in a recent response drill at the invitation of Marathon Petroleum. The drill was intended to exercise and refine response strategies for an incident in Cook Inlet, with an end goal of providing a full accounting of the response efforts by way of public press conference at the end of the day. 

Operators come from across the country; some have been working in Cook Inlet for decades while others will be experiencing their first winter in Alaska. At the end of the week, a host of interested parties from the U.S. Coast Guard to NOAA Ice Forecasters to tug and barge operators and responders get together for an open discussion about what to expect for the coming ice season.
