REGIONAL EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has divided the country into ten regions that include the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. Regardless of which organization within DOT is the lead, a team from all elements of DOT supports the regional response. The RETCO is responsible for developing preparedness plans, conducting training, and coordinating with other DOT Operating Administrations, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other Federal, state and local organizations in the region.

Each RETCO is assisted by at least one Regional Emergency Transportation Representative (RETREP). The RETREP is the principal assistant to the RETCO for the emergency transportation plans and programs in the region.

Individual regions tailor their emergency transportation programs according to their specific needs and changing conditions. For example, in Region Nine (which includes California, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii and Guam), there is a deployment package program designed to expedite the transportation of necessary supplies to Hawaii and the Pacific Island territories before, during and after a disaster. The primary focus in Region Four (the Southeast) is a well-planned and executed hurricane response, while in the Alaska region, coordination with partners from Transport Canada is essential. Although the policy and procedural framework remains constant, an active regional structure allows DOT to customize its activities for local conditions and hazards.
