Foley, AL – Michael Donohoe is the president of Preparedness Plus. Founded in 2024, it serves as the culmination of his decades-long experience in the U.S. Coast Guard, and as a civilian, handling, preventing, and mitigating the effects of oil and hazardous material spills. “I travel around the world visiting bulk storage facilities, helping them assess, and hopefully improve their overall prevention, preparedness, and response programs for oil receipt, storage and distribution,” summarizes Michael. “One of the big concerns is when you have large quantities of fuel stored, you have the potential for small and large oil spills,” explains Michael. “After the Exxon-Valdez Oil Spill, there was a new piece of legislation known as the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. It really stepped up the game in terms of expectations – especially crafting preparedness plans to respond to oil spills.” “Unfortunately, a lot of people get a plan written, but they don’t necessarily develop the details on HOW they are going to execute the plan,” Michael believes. “As for the future regarding Preparedness Plus, I am primarily available to help organizations examine their thoughts on preparedness, and what we can do so that they understand their preparedness process,” explains Michael/ “When you have a task, don’t just think about completing the task,” encourages Michael. “Think about the value that you achieve, when the task that you complete, delivers a quality OUTCOME for you, your organization and the environment.” For more information, please visit https://www.preparedness-plus.com/
