The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is coordinating response efforts to provide necessary assistance to communities affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The Homeland Security Operations Center (HSOC) serves as the nation's nerve center for information sharing and domestic incident management. At the request of the HSOC the National Emergency Resource Registry (NERR) has been activated.

The NERR stands ready to assist the coordination efforts between the resources that are needed and the resources that may be available from the private and public sectors. The SouthWest Emergency Response Network (www.SWERN.gov) is the central repository for NERR. If you or your organization/agency/corporation have resources that may be made available to the response agencies, please list them in this resource registry.
