The USCG / EPA Region VI Regional Response Team (RRT) will hold its 2003 winter meeting in San Antonio, Texas, on January 29-30, 2003. The meeting will be held at the Radisson Hotel Downtown Market Square, 502 West Durago. There are thirteen Regional Response Teams (RRTs) in the United States, each representing a particular geographic region (including the Caribbean and the Pacific Basin). The RRTs are composed of representatives from the field offices of the general agencies that make up the National Response Team, as well as state representatives. The three major responsibilities of RRTs are (1) planning; (2) training; and (3) coordination.
A block of rooms have been reserved under RRT VI at the federal government rate of $91.00 per day and State rate of $80.00. Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-333-3333.
