REGION IX RRCC RRCC is a multi-agency coordination entity which provides strategic coordination during domestic incidents. FEMA regional staff and other Federal agency representatives, known collectively as a Regional Response Team (RST), staff the RRCC. The RST coordinates Federal field response efforts until an IMAT/Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) assumes operational control at a Joint Field Office (JFO) or Interim Operations Facility (IOF). In multi-state disasters, the RRCC may remain activated after JFOs are established to provide strategic direction and allocate resources across JFOs.
