Emergency Preparation and Response

Chevron's ability to deliver world-class performance rests in part on managing routine aspects of our business and our response to unplanned incidents. Our commitment to sound emergency response preparedness and capability is integral to our operations.

Trained emergency response teams are able to rapidly respond to incidents. Preparedness plans are also in place for hurricanes, pandemic influenza and earthquakes. We conduct training and drills on an ongoing basis and work collaboratively with industry groups to share lessons learned and resources on emergency preparedness.

Preventing Shipping Oil Spills

By year-end 2006, all Chevron-operated vessels were double-hulled. More than 90 percent of the chartered vessels we use to transport products also are double-hulled.
