BP disaster response plan didn't include hurricanes

No hurricane disaster plan
Somehow I'm not surprised
Common sense says one was required
So how many other offshore drilling companies haven't got one either since it doesn't seem to be a requirement in obtaining a drilling permit?


Rep. Edward Markey says BP's disaster response plan for an oil spill doesn't mention hurricanes or tropical storms.

Markey says the omission is yet another example of what the oil giant was not prepared to handle.
