This program currently supports six Hazmat Regional Response <br /> Teams(RRT's) available twenty-four hours a day to respond to hazardous materials incidents and <br /> accidents requiring technician level entry capabilities. The teams are now in full operation and are <br /> providing outstanding levels of service across the state. <br /> The response capabilities of the RRT's is only a portion of a comprehensive approach to <br /> hazardous materials preparedness and response. Equally important is a local government's ability <br /> to manage chemical information for planning purposes, utilize readily available chemical response <br /> computer software and to communicate electronically with our Division of Emergency <br /> Management operations section in Raleigh via the Internet. To this end we are making grants <br /> available to local governments to provide funding for the purchase of microcomputers as well as <br /> related equipment and/or software. <br /> This funding is intended to provide the capabilities described above to county Emergency <br /> Management offices across the state. <br /> I invite you to apply for this grant by signing the attached Grant Award document and <br /> returning it to: <br /> N.C.
