REACT State Councils exist to support teams within a single state. While most are defunct (click HERE to see list), their bylaws typically authorized them to:

• Coordinate communication and training: Support teams in a shared geographic area with unified training and information flow.
• Hold regular meetings and elect officers: Provide structured leadership and representation for member teams.
• Support REACT Internationals objectives: Maintain liaison with headquarters and carry out directives of the Board of Directors.
• Assist in forming new teams: Help organize, mentor, and launch new REACT teams within the state.
• Provide advisory input on charters: Offer recommendations on new team applications and potential revocations, while REACT International retains final authority.
• Maintain budgets and financial accountability: Submit annual budgets for reimbursement and ensure audited financial records.

Because our operational footprint spans multiple states, we operate as a regional interoperability and cross-boundry consortium as follows:

• Multi-state scope: Support teams across state lines, enabling broader coordination than a traditional council.
• No officers, dues or fees: Participation is free; we do not collect money or require financial commitments from members or teams.
• Support for legacy teams: Welcome and assist teams with expired or revoked charters that still want to serve their communities.
• Resource sharing: Facilitate exchange of equipment, personnel, and capabilities to strengthen regional readiness.
• Interoperability partnerships: Help establish cooperative agreements, including Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with agencies and partner organizations.
• Operational collaboration: Provide a platform to coordinate deployments, exercises, and large-scale events across jurisdictions.
