Regional Coordination Guide

The Kansas City Metropolitan Area Regional Coordination Guide (RCG) is an all-hazard, capabilities-based guide designed to address any of the hazards potentially affecting the metro area. The RCG is for use by all local governments, as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including private and volunteer agencies and organizations in the metro region.

The RCG is organized using a Base Guide and 15 Emergency Support Function (ESF) annexes. The Base Guide provides the overall organizational structure for regional coordination, while the ESF annexes address the regional issues associated with specific emergency functions.
