Safety Message:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water; avoid coffee, tea and sodas with caffeine. It is recommended you consume two liters
of water daily for good hydration which is also good for the immune system; and good for the skin as well. For each hour
of excretion you should consume an additional liter of water.
Weather Summary:
Moderate southeast winds of 10-15 knots are forecast to continue through Thursday. Near shore waves will also be out of
the southeast through Thursday, but seas will build to around 1-3 feet near shore, as high as 4 feet offshore today, and
then to around 2-4 feet near shore and 5 feet offshore Wednesday. Rain chances will be lower, around 20-40% each day
through Thursday. Heat indices will be near 100 to 105 degrees today and tomorrow. The southeasterly winds and waves
will continue to push the main portion of oil plume towards the northwest but scattered tarball fields already near shore
may be carried onshore along the Panhandle coast. A tropical wave in the Southwestern Atlantic just north of Puerto Rico
has a 40% chance of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm within the next 48 hours.

The sensitivity of the current situation has caused people in the community to become stressed, any inappropriate actions
on the part of our profesionals only increases that stress and causes issue.

EVERYONE IS A SAFETY OFFICER.

When a potential hazard is discovered:
1. Make sure that everyone else in your workplace is aware of the problem.

satisfactorily. Report it and later follow up to make sure the problem was addressed.
Area Update:
• Approximately 475,600 feet of hard boom and 8,580 feet of sorbent boom have been placed in Northwest Florida
along the most sensitive areas. Additionally, counties in the region are moving forward with supplemental
booming plans. As of July 15, 316,261 feet of supplemental boom has been deployed or staged by Florida
contractors.

 Tar balls, tar mats and light sheen continue to be reported in Northwest Florida. View the latest reconnaissance
reports Landfall Reports and Predictions here.
 Continued impacts will be possible in Northwest Florida over the next 72 hours.
 Five state-leased skimmers continue to operate in Northwest Florida to protect sensitive inland water bodies.
These skimmers are operating at the passes in Escambia, Okaloosa, Bay, Gulf and Franklin Counties.
 Nearly 90 percent of Florida’s more than 1,260 miles of coastline remains unimpacted.
 If oil is sighted on Florida’s coastline report it to the State Warning Point at 1-877-2-SAVE-FL (1-877-272-
8335) or by dialing #DEP from most cell phones.
 Pensacola Pass as well as Perdido Pass will continue to be closed with the tide to reduce the amount of oil
entering inland waters. These waterways are manned to allow access to necessary vessel traffic and are open for
vessel traffic during low tide. See NOAA tide predictions.
 Observations by NOAA continue to indicate no significant amounts of oil moving toward the Loop Current. The
Loop Current Ring, a circular current which was formerly part of the Loop Current provides no clear path for oil
to enter the Florida Straits.
 There have been no reports of Deepwater Horizon oil spill-related products reaching the shore beyond the
Northwest Florida region. There is no indication that the rest of the state will have impacts from weathered oil
products within the next 72 hours.
 A tropical wave in the central Caribbean Sea has a 10 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next
48 hours..

State Update:
 Tar balls, tar mats and light sheen continue to be reported in Northwest Florida.
 Isolated impacts will be possible in Northwest Florida over the next 72 hours.
 Five state-leased skimmers remain on standby in Northwest Florida to protect sensitive inland water bodies.
These skimmers are operating out of Escambia, Okaloosa, Bay, Gulf and Franklin Counties.
 Pensacola Pass and Perdido Pass will continue to be closed with the tide to reduce the amount of oil entering
inland waters. These waterways are manned to allow access to necessary vessel traffic and are open for vessel
traffic during low tide.
 Oil Containment Boom (in feet) total: 797,261 deployed in Florida; Tier 1 & Tier 2: 481,000 / Tier 3: 316,261. In
accordance with established plans, protective booming, staging, and boom maintenance is being conducted along
the coast from Escambia to Franklin. 222 vessels are deployed in Florida for the Vessels of Opportunity program.

 940 Qualified Community Responders are working in the Florida Panhandle. Federal Fishery closure, west of
Cape San Blas to state line. (see NOAA FB10-060) The NOAA oil plume model shows the oil plume 80 miles
from Pensacola, and 125 miles from Panama City. Trajectory forecasts scattered tarball fields already near shore
may be carried onshore along the Panhandle coast. Offshore, no oil has been observed within or moving towards
Eddy Franklin and there is no clear path for oil to enter the Florida Straits. In addition to $100,000 for Volunteer
Florida to maintain a volunteer registration database, BP has issued over $75 million in grants to Florida for
booming, tourism advertising, and state preparedness and response efforts. An additional $500,000 has been
issued by BP to fund innovative technology solutions for Okaloosa Cty. BP claims in Florida total 31,454 with
approximately $ 39,741,566.26 paid.
 The State Emergency Operations Center is activated at Level 1 or full activation.
 The State Emergency Response Team continues to focus on mitigating impacts to Florida’s shoreline.
 State reconnaissance teams operating by air, land and sea continue to identify potential impacts and are actively
coordinating with cleanup teams. View the latest reconnaissance reports.
 Four Florida branch offices are fully operational in Northwest Florida. These branch offices bring together
federal, state and local agencies to streamline response efforts.
 Currently Deepwater Horizon is not discharging any oil into the Gulf of Mexico. BP continues the well integrity
test, which is being closely monitored. Learn more.
 Isolated impacts are expected to continue in Northwest Florida over the next 72 hours. Nearly 90 percent of
Florida’s more than 1,260 miles of coastline remains unimpacted.
 A tropical wave in the Southwest Atlantic near Puerto Rico has a 40 percent chance of becoming a tropical
depression within the next 48 hours.
 Oil Impact Notices are posted for all Escambia County and Walton County Gulf beaches, as well as designated
beaches in Okaloosa County. Signs may remain in place until local authorities determine that beaches are no
longer impacted by the oil spill.
 The current federal fisheries closure in the Gulf of Mexico measures 83,927 square miles. This leaves
approximately 65 percent of Gulf federal waters available for fishing. This federal closure does not apply to any
state waters. Learn more.
 A portion of coastal state waters offshore of Escambia County is closed to the harvest of saltwater fish, crabs and
shrimp

Federal Update:
 Currently Deepwater Horizon is not discharging any oil into the Gulf of Mexico. BP has begun conducting the well
integrity test, which is being closely monitored.
 During the well integrity test, operations on the first relief well have been temporarily stopped, as a precaution, while
the well was at 17,840 feet. Operations on the second relief well have been temporarily suspended at 15,874 feet to
ensure there is no interference with the first relief well.
