RRT9 Community,
Thank you all for your attendance and engagement at our recent meeting on July 24th, 2025, the FEMA building in Oakland, CA. On July 23, we focused on FEMA's regularly scheduled RISC (Regional Interagency Steering Committee) and the "2nd day" was our typical RRT9 meeting.
We've posted the majority of presentations in the Documents Folder on the right side of the screen. Please click on Documents, then look for the date of the meeting (2025.07.24 RRT) on the left column.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Feb 4-5, 2026. No location yet, but we are tentatively looking at Long Beach, CA. Please email either of us if you have other suggestions or ideas.
