RESPONSE Act Subcommittee
Recent legislation directed FEMA to establish the Railroad Emergency Services Preparedness, Operational Needs, and Safety Evaluation (RESPONSE) Subcommittee under its National Advisory Council (NAC) to provide recommendations regarding emergency responder training and resources related to hazardous materials incidents involving railroads.
Subcommittee Members
The RESPONSE Subcommittee is composed of federal and other government officials, as well as experts that represent the rail industry; rail labor; those who offer oil for transportation by rail; emergency response providers, emergency response training providers; tribal organizations; vendors, developers, and manufacturers of systems, facilities, equipment, and capabilities for emergency responder services; and other technical experts.
