Regional Advisory Committees (RACs) were established, and their responsibilities outlined in the North Carolina Administrative Code (see 10A NCAC 13P .1101, .1102, and .1103). RACs were initially established for the purpose of regional trauma planning, to include establishing and maintaining a coordinated trauma system. Following September 11, 2001, RAC responsibilities/members significantly expanded to account for increased disaster and terrorism related activities.
The North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services (NCOEMS) oversees the RACs in North Carolina and works with them to coordinate their responsibilities regarding the state's trauma/terrorism initiatives.
A county's RAC is determined by its hospital's RAC selection or, if no hospital is in the county, by selection of a RAC by the primary Emergency Medical Service provider. A county with different colors indicates two or more hospitals with different RAC affiliations.
