in Missouri.
Missouri Office of Administration

United States Economic Development
Administration
Many
of Missouri's Regional Planning Commissions also serve as United
States' Economic Development Regions. These regions receive funding
from the EDA to promote regional economic development and cooperation,
and also maintain the regional Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy. www.eda.gov
Missouri Department of
Transportation
Each
of Missouri's Regional Planning Commission is a planning
partner with MoDOT. RPCs facilitate local Transportation Advisory
Committees (TACs) to provide grassroots input into MoDOT's planning
processes. Missouri's RPCs also aid MoDOT in statewide needs prioritization
and developing Regional Transportation Plans. www.modot.org
Missouri Office of Homeland
Security
In
FY06, MACOG entered into partnership with the the Missouri Office
of Homeland Security to provide a framework for effectively distributing
Missouri's homeland security dollars. This framework, known as regionalization,
uses nine Regional Homeland Security Oversight Committees (RHSOCs)
to provide local funding recommendations to the state Homeland Security
Advisory Council. www.dps.mo.gov/HomelandSecurity
Missouri State Emergency
Management Agency
The
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires that all counties
have an adopted All-Hazards Mitigation Plan in place to be eligible
for any federal hazard mitigation funds. SEMA has partnered with
Regional Planning Commissions to facilitate the creation of these
plans for Missouri's counties. As a result of this partnership,
nearly all of Missouri's counties are now covered by a Hazard Mitigation
Plan. http://sema.dps.mo.gov/semapage.htm
Missouri Department of Natural
Resources
The
Missouri Department of Natrual Resources utilizes MACOG to distribute
grant announcements and other information to Missouri's cities and
counties. In addition, many Regional Planning Commissions provide
administrative services to Missouri's Solid
Waste Management Districts. www.dnr.mo.gov
