Regional Emergency Preparedness Committee (REPC)

Building regional resilience through collaboration and coordination.

The NCTTRAC Regional Emergency Preparedness Committee (REPC) serves as the coordinating body for regional preparedness planning, response, and recovery efforts across Trauma Service Area-E.
