Be sure to also visit the Region 2 reflector page at
The reflector will be a place to exchange ideas on Emergency Communications, particularly within

* Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) Needed *
Region 2 needs volunteers that are willing to become part of Rapid Response Teams. These teams will be used to activate fully equipped Emergency Operation Centers as soon as possible after a disaster is declared. I am looking for primarily 2 teams of 5 to 7-individuals each to act either as East/West teams or North/South teams for rapid deployment. If anyone is interested in being on a team, please let me know. To see the full story on RRTs, click here.
