Regional Response Coordination Centers are regional, federal coordination hubs that oversee and synchronize federal response efforts across a geographic region. They’re located at FEMA regional offices and activated to coordinate requests for federal assistance, allocate resources, and share situation information with state and local authorities. They are not temporary facilities established locally at the incident site; instead, they provide the federal coordination point from a regional base. In larger incidents, coordination may involve other elements of the national response architecture, but the RRCC itself operates at the regional level, not as a locally created, temporary facility.
