CRTF to speak at Rotary on Nov. 14

The Community Response Task Force (CRTF) was initiated in early 2006 by several groups in the 59 north corridor area Harris/Montgomery Counties, TX. The City of Humble Office of Emergency Management contacted numerous groups that had historically assisted with relief during disasters to meet and discuss the feasibility of developing a local networking organization to help coordinate area volunteer relief efforts. Experiences during recent disaster efforts spurred these groups to develop the organization to develop and maintain a common methodology to disaster response for these varied groups. The resulting meetings led to the organizing of the Community Response Task Force. The CRTF is primarily a networking organization which provides coordination services, needs assessments, resource availability

The CRTF's target membership are Faith Based Groups, Hotel/Motel Operators, School District Managers, Emergency Response Groups, Business Operators, Local Clubs and Organizations, and Concerned Citizens. There are no fees or dues for membership. Meetings are held monthly at the Homewood Suites on loop 494 just north of Kingwood Drive.
