[Workers' Compensation]
Synchronizing Federal Care for Oil Spill Workers

The need for coordination of Federal
benefits for oil spill workers is
now becoming a major concern. It is
becoming more apparent, by the day,
that the State programs are now
stretched beyond their limits to
respond to the crisis. As The Path
To Federalization expands, this
debate will expand.

A recent study by the Center for
American Progress addresses these
concerns.

"Health threats from the oil spill
may linger unseen, perhaps for more
than a generation. And we will not
be fully prepared to address the
public health problems that arise
in the future unless there is an
effective and coordinated handover
of responsibilities for protecting
public health from the emergency
response agencies to agencies with the
capability and capacity for long-term
monitoring and management.

Federal agencies have been pulled in
as needed in the gulf spill response,
but it's not clear that the Health
and Human Services response has been
synchronized from the top to ensure
effective delivery and coordination."

"In short, the spill reiterates why
we need to better manage the short
and longterm responses required to
address the public health threats
such disasters pose whether they are
manmade or due to natural causes."
