Read MorePlanning and implementing a regional response to disasters and emergencies on Cape Cod and Nantucket happens cohesively through the cooperative efforts of the Barnstable County Regional Emergency Planning Committee (BCREPC).

As the program demonstrated success and relationships were developed with emergency response stakeholders, the role of the Committee expanded to “all hazards” emergency coordination in order to address homeland security, meteorological events, public health matters, and regional sheltering issues that affect the region.
