Figure 6 presents the authorities responsible and the responsible coordinator in case an emergency situation occurs. An oil spill is handled as a situation that requires immediate intervention. Depending on its severity, each incident report is individually handled and evaluated by the Belgian responsible authorities as presented in Figure 6. The impact of an event could be local, provincial or federal. As consequence, it is from this perspective that the authorities need to coordinate the intervention actions. Hence, for each incident, an intervention plan has been developed and has to be followed. Each intervention plan, regardless its severity, follows the organisational directives given by KB/16/02/20064. In case of minor pollution, the local authorities are responsible for coordinating the protection and the cleaning up process. A distinction is made between oil spills that happen at sea or on land. For land interventions, the municipal authorities take the coordination responsibility, while for the sea, the port authorities have to coordinate the intervention actions. In case of major pollution threatening or affecting multiple municipalities, the Civil Protection intervenes for deploying the equipment for the protection and cleanâup. This is done as well under the coordination of the Governor or the Minister of Internal Affairs. Figure 6. General emergency response scheme and responsible coordination.
