DISASTER RESPONSE CENTER AT KELLY AIR FIELD, SAN 
ANTONIO, TEXAS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The Federal response to Hurricane Katrina dem-
onstrated the need for greater coordination and planning capa-

effectively accomplished if such assets are organized on a 
regional basis similar to the manner in which the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency organizes its efforts.

exercised operational headquarters skilled in disaster response, 
no such headquarters have been established. 
(4) Such a headquarters would be appropriately located 
on available Federal property in Region VI of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, which includes Texas, Lou-
isiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and New Mexico, and is a region 
subject to forest fires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. 
(b) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than March 31, 2008, the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of Home-

nent, regionally oriented disaster response center responsible for 
planning, coordinating, and directing the Federal, State, and local 
response to man-made and natural disasters that occur in Region 
VI of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. 
(c) CONTENT.—The report required under subsection (b) shall 
include the following:

personnel who would have to be mobilized to run the logistics, 
planning, and maintenance of the regional disaster response 
center, if established at Kelly Air Field, during a time of dis-
aster recovery. 
(3) A determination of the number of military and civilian 
personnel who would be required to run the logistics, planning, 
and maintenance of the regional disaster response center during 
a time when no disaster is occurring.

infrastructure at Kelly Air Field to meet the needs of displaced 
victims of a disaster equivalent to that of Hurricanes Katrina

including adequate beds, food stores, and decontamination sta-
tions to triage radiation or other chemical or biological agent 
contamination victims. 
(5) An evaluation of the current capability of the Depart-
ment of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security 
to respond to these mission requirements and an assessment 
of any additional capabilities that are required.
