Committee Responsibilities

The mission of the Committee will be to serve as the foremost community-driven organization for the City in each phase of disaster: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. It will follow the guiding principles of cooperation, communication, coordination, and collaboration to ensure a synergetic approach toward community resilience.  The Committee is expected to be capable of providing all-hazards support to the community.

Rowlett Ready, a program of the RCOAD, serves as the system for distribution of disaster related assistance to the Rowlett community (ex. ROBUST – Rowlett Business Stimulus Grant). For more information, visit our webpage.
