The Department of Environmental Quality's POLLUTION RESPONSE PROGRAM, known as PREP, provides for responses to air, water, and waste pollution incidents in order to protect human health and the environment. PREP staff often work to assist local emergency responders, other state agencies, federal agencies, and responsible parties, as may be needed, to manage pollution incidents. Oil spills, fish kills, and hazardous materials spills are examples of incidents that may involve the DEQ's PREP Program. Visit the PREP gallery to see a variety of incidents that may require PREP staff involvement.
