On July 14, 1999, the Task Force on Regional Water Supply Issues was created by the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. The Board acted in response to serious drought-related conditions that affected the water supply in the metropolitan Washington region.
Initially, the Task Force charge was to review water supply policies, plans, programs, and regional drought emergency agreements. The Task Force reported its findings to the Board of Directors on November 10, 1999.
The Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments created the Task Force on Homeland Security and Emergency Response for the National Capital Area on November 14, 2001, in response to the terrorist events of September 11, 2001. The Task Force developed the Regional Emergency Coordination Plan that includes emergency communications, and a GIS-based infrastructure. The plan was being devised in cooperation with Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, the Council's participating governments, and agencies of the federal government. The Board of Directors approved the Plan on September 11, 2002, and on November 13, 2002 created the National Capital Region Emergency Preparedness Council to replace the Task Force.
