National Response Team

The National Response Team (NRT) is a federal group in the United States that coordinates responses to hazardous material incidents and environmental emergencies. Composed of experts from various agencies, the NRT helps local and state authorities manage crises by providing technical support, resources, and expertise. Its goal is to minimize the impact of such incidents on public health and the environment. The team also ensures that emergency responses involve multiple agencies working together effectively, enhancing overall preparedness and safety in emergency situations.
