MISSION STATEMENT
The Region VI Response Team is made up of designated individuals from local public safety agencies who are dedicated to serving our communities and protecting the environment through prevention, preparedness, with both efficient and effective response to hazardous materials incidents, whether accidental or intentional.
VISION
The vision of the Hazmat Response Team is to cooperatively identify and resolve issues regarding the planning, training, and preparation for, and response to hazardous materials incidents that are most likely to occur within the local jurisdiction. All public safety participants agree that efficiency and effectiveness can only be achieved when jurisdictional issues, turf, and stand-alone effort are set aside and cooperation, collaboration and partnerships are implemented. All participants to this vision value this forum that allows for addressing each other's issues and concerns.
