Working Group Overview
The work of the All Hazards Consortium is done primarily through the activities of the Regional Working Groups. Comprised of members from the public and private sectors, education and non-profits, these groups provide a unique way for stakeholders to come together to discuss critical issues facing the region.
Currently, the Working Groups that are actively supported by the AHC are as follows:

The ENDEAVOR Private Sector Working Group of Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and the AHC have partnered to create a new private sector operated working group model that will sustain elections and leadership turnover. Modeled after the AHC’s Multi-State Fleet Response Working Group (FRWG), this new working group, called ENDEAVOR, was formed in 2018 and leveraged best practices from North Carolina's nationally recognized private sector program and the FRWG to create a new public/private governance framework in Pennsylvania. ENDEAVOR works on operational issues with the state across multiple sector issues transportation policy, information sharing, and business-to-business partnerships for disaster response.

These working groups may develop sub-committees that focus on more specific areas of interest based on the needs of the private sector or the regional states.
