Questions?

In conclusion, the RRC has jurisdiction over substantial critical O&G infrastructure in the state of Texas. We have emergency response procedures in place that engage our SOC Team and district offices as needed. Finally, we participate in numerous special projects, meetings and exercises that are focused on Emergency Management and Homeland Security.
