RRT9 Community,
Our next meeting is scheduled for July 23rd and 24th, 2025. We will be holding this one at the FEMA building in Oakland, CA. The first day will be FEMA's regularly scheduled RISC (Regional Interagency Steering Committee) and the 2nd day will be our typical RRT9 meeting. If you haven't been to a RISC meeting before, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the Stafford Act/National Response Framework world. There will be virtual options for each meeting. I will update this site with agendas as we get closer.
