Resource Management Projects
The Resource Management Committee (RMC) was a sub-committee of the Emergency Managers Work Group (REMTEC). It was responsible for developing the capability to mobilize and track resources across the Portland Metropolitan Region (region) and across disciplines and agencies within the region in an emergency. The RMC developed solutions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of regional resource management, and some of their work is on this page.
The RMC stopped meeting summer 2023 and is now inactive. If you have questions about the RMC or past work products or materials the RMC developed, please contact RDPO@portlandoregon.gov.

2018 RESOURCE REQUEST HANDBOOK
The Emergency Resource Request Management Handbook provides guidance to governmental and nongovernmental organizations within the Portland Metropolitan Region on how to request resources in a major emergency and manage the emergency resource request process. It provides guidance on the entire resource request management life cycle, from the formation and submission of the request to the closeout of the order and the payment of the provider. The document is intended to be a quick reference guide to the navigation of the emergency resource ordering process.
